The command
wineconsole --backend=curses cmd
hangs with the following error message for 1.3.8:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7ee17dec "?" wait timed
out in thread 0065, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection
section 0x7ee17dec "?" wait timed out in thread 004d, blocked by 0000,
retrying (60 sec)
There are no such issues for the default wineconsole backend, but I
have always preferred using the curses backend because cut and paste
was available for it. That backend worked fine (according to my
notes) for wine-1.1.41.
I built wine-1.3.8 on my Debian testing box a week ago, but
saved the output of all build steps. The configure stage
had the following curses-related messages:
softw...@raven> grep curses configure.out
checking curses.h usability... yes
checking curses.h presence... yes
checking for curses.h... yes
checking ncurses.h usability... yes
checking ncurses.h presence... yes
checking for ncurses.h... yes
checking for -lncurses... libncurses.so.5
These seem fine, and all curses-related output of the "make depend", "make", and
"make
install" steps seem fine as well. I am generally pretty happy with
wine-1.3.8 except for this one curses backend regression.
Can others confirm this issue?
Is there some workaround such as using a different version of ncurses?
Here are the curses-related packages I have installed at the moment on
Debian testing:
ir...@raven> dpkg --list |grep curse
