[gentoo-amd64] Wine/Office97 in 32-bin chroot

[Robert S]

I'm trying to set up M$ Office97 in a 32-bin chroot on gentoo-amd64.  It
seems to work OK when I set it up on an Athlon XP system.  When I try to
run the Office setup I get:

wine m:setup.exe
wine: Unhandled exception (thread 000c), starting debugger...

I can't find any debug output.  If I run winedbg, I get the same thing with
no debug output.

Can somebody help?

'man wine' tells us:
WINEDEBUG
              Turns debugging messages on or off. The syntax of the variable is
              of the form [class][+/-]channel[,[class2][+/-]channel2].

              Examples:

              WINEDEBUG=warn+all
                     will turn on all warning messages (recommended for debugging).

so, 

$ export WINEDEBUG="warn+all"
$ wine m:setup.exe

should help you find the problem.

Inexplicably it install properly when you do this!

Wine never ceases to mystify me.

Still can't get Office 2000 to run, but I can survive with 97.

Some silly Gentoo WINE maintainer decided to override the default WINEDEBUG 
with options to disable it altogether. If you want to use the real defaults, 
run WINE as: WINEDEBUG=' ' wine
Putting a space in the WINEDEBUG var makes the script think you have it set to 
something so it doesn't override. :)
