wine users - Oct 2011 - Self compiled wine does not find CD-Rom

Hello,

there seems to be an odd behaviour regarding the CD-Rom drives in wine 
depending on whether you run a precompiled version (in my case a Debian 
package) or compile wine for yourself (same version).

Background is that there seems to be a regression in wine which I wanted to 
debug. The regression is in a game which checks for the CD first and then 
shows an intro and a menu (which has graphic issues now because of the 
regression) when the CD is found or no menu and another menu (which does not 
have graphic issues) when the CD is not found.

So in short:
CD found?
yes: show intro videos and menu (which has issues)
no: show no intro videos and a different menu (which does not have issues).

I have wine 1.3.29 installed from the official PPA [1] on my Ubuntu 11.04 
machine (amd64).
To do regression testing I also have a git tree here where I also compiled 
version 1.3.29 (I did a "git checkout wine-1.3.29" before because this
is the
latest version and there have already been patches applied).
The exact build command I used is this:
CFLAGS="-g -O0" ./configure --verbose --disable-tests && make
depend && make -j4

The point now is when I run the game with this compiled wine version the game 
does not find the CD and shows the menu which does not have issues instead.
It is also odd that there was the message that the wine prefix gets updated 
when I first launched the game with my compiled wine version. I thought this 
was only necessary when I used a different wine version now than the version 
the wine prefix was created with. So I ensured that my installed wine and the 
self compiled wine really have the same version which is the case obviously:
korn at pc:~/wineprefixes/comanche_3/drive_c/C$ ~/wineprefixes/wine/wine/wine 
--version
wine-1.3.29
korn at pc:~/wineprefixes/comanche_3/drive_c/C$ wine --version
wine-1.3.29

It is really odd and I cannot do regression testing this way of course.

This is the dosdevices directory in this wine prefix:
korn at pc:~/wineprefixes/comanche_3/drive_c/C$ LANG=C ls -la ../../dosdevices/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 korn korn 4096 Oct  2 23:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 korn korn 4096 Oct  3 13:26 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 korn korn   10 Jul 29  2010 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 korn korn   13 Jul 29  2010 e: -> /media/cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 korn korn   43 Oct  2 21:28 e:: -> /home/korn/Games/Comanche 
3/COMANCHEGLD.iso
lrwxrwxrwx 1 korn korn   10 Jul 29  2010 h: -> /home/korn
lrwxrwxrwx 1 korn korn    1 Jul 29  2010 z: -> /

I really do not understand this. Please help ;)

Kind regards
Christoph

There are 2 e:\ entries in your ls. Try opening winecfg, go to the
drives tab, remove both drives and try adding the .iso file drive
again.

Also, try that in a clean prefix.

Thanks for the answer.

Same games also need a link to the iso to work. This is the e:: link you see.
I removed drive E with winecfg in this prefix and also removed the e:: link.
However, recreating the drive with winecfg in this prefix did not change the 
situation.

Also a new prefix did not make a difference. I just copied the game directory 
to the new prefix and created the drive with winecfg (luckily the game does 
not seem to require registry entries or special dll overrides).
It still has the same behaviour there.

Also I still find it odd that this dialog about updating my prefix appears 
although my compiled version has the same version as the wine installed on my 
system.

I do not know what it is doing there but I noticed that the content of the 
.update-timestamp changes from 1317590139 to 1317086773.

It does that on my system, too. Self-compiled Wine is not the same as a distro
package; packagers make changes. As for the Wine you compiled not seeing your
CD, are you sure you satisfied all dependencies when you compiled it?

I satisfied all build dependencies with:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3 wine1.3-dev
So I make sure the same packages get installed as when the Debian package of 
wine was compiled. Also I did not find special changes in the package or 
special configure options.

You find my build log attached.

Someone mentioned in another thread that they've found Wine behaves
differently when compiled with --disable-tests. Try compiling without disabling
tests.
