Bug 33174 – Portage doesn't add /usr/lib/wine/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Lordy 2003-11-10 15:07:23 UTC]

Portage doesn't add /usr/lib/wine/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf which is necessary for 
some wine-tools like wineboot to run

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge wine
2. try running /usr/lib/wine/bin/wineboot




Expected Results:  
Portage should add /usr/lib/wine/lib/ to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig after 
installation

sure it does, it creates /etc/env.d/30wine

ahm, no it doesn't.
we do this on purpose so that diffrent versions of wine can be installed and used at the same time (using a wrapper which sets the correct lib path).
maybe we should remove the wrapper now that winex is gone?
I really don't know.

mine must be left over then from older wine installs :p

Unfortunately this makes it really hard to use Wine if you have only one version installed... There are lots of useful programs in /usr/bin/wine/bin (which would be nice to have on the PATH as well, BTW) such as wcmd or the compiler suite (winegcc, wineg++, wrc, widl).

Can't there be global setting in /etc/env.d for wine ebuild and wrapper scripts for other wine version that override it (LD_LIBRARY_PATH takes precedence, se the right libs would be picked if it is set by the wrapper script, regardless of whether /usr/lib/wine/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf or not)?

this is a duplicate of (wine needs wine-config bug #9842)
