wine-devel @4.0-rc2: could not load binary

[thetrial (alabay)]

Since the last update I cannot start anything with wine. Even not winecfg. What still works is: wine --version.

All other things result in:

/opt/local/lib/../bin/wine: could not load binary

It’s absolutely not clear to me, what could not be loaded.

I use macports under El Capitan.

Replying to ​ryandesign:

To try removing the wrapper, you could:

sudo mv /opt/local/libexec/wine/wine /opt/local/bin/wine

See if you notice any font problems or error messages with programs you run using wine after that.

If you later want to undo the change, you can:

sudo port -f deactivate wine-devel && sudo port activate wine-devel

So has anybody tried this modification? If so, do you notice any new problems as a result?

I tested it and saw no problems whatsoever.

Seems to work. Thanks.

wine-devel: Remove wrapper script

This removes the wrapper script I added shortly after adding the wine
port 12 years ago, apparently to fix font problems.

See: #11779#comment:2

Wine 4 now uses the preloader on macOS, which is incompatible with the
wrapper script. The simplest fix is to remove the wrapper.

I don't remember what the font problems were, and initial user reports
are that fonts look fine in wine 4 without the wrapper.
