wine users - Apr 2001 - Assertion `hdc' failed

i've compiled my own wine from source and have had the same problem twice.
can anyone tellme what this means.

how to fix it?

 $ wine icad.exe
Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
For language 'en' several language ids were found:
en_US - 0409; en_GB - 0809; en_AU - 0C09; en_CA - 1009; en_NZ - 1409; en_IE -
1809; en_ZA - 1C09; en_JM - 2009; en_ - 2409; en_BZ - 2809; en_TT - 2C09;
Instead of using first in the list, suggest to define
your LANG environment variable like this: LANG=en_US
err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll display.dll still not
found
wine: sysmetrics.c:42: SYSMETRICS_Init: Assertion `hdc' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I can answer at least part of this, as I stumbled on it Friday.

Go to your config file.
Change the sections for drive A and drive D.

In drive A, change "/mnt/fd0" to "/mnt/floppy".
In drive D, change "/cdrom" to "/mnt/cdrom".

Same file but a little further down is a LANG.  It presently probably has a
line of "LANG=en", which you should change to "LANG=en_US"
(I'm assuming you
use US english, if not use an english with the appropriate two letter code.)

No idea, sorry.

    HDC hdc = CreateDCA( "DISPLAY", NULL, NULL, NULL );
    assert(hdc);

This means that CreateDCA() of the display context failed.
ISTR that this usually means that your x11drv or other Wine graphics driver
libraries are broken.

Check your config.

Hmpf, I must be blind.
It already *says* what didn't work:

Check either libdisplay.so or (the "real" file) libuser.so.
(ldd, library setup, ...)
