Fwd: Re: [MPlayer-dev-eng] wmv9dmod.dll load failure: bug report + patch
by Arpi 10 Feb '04

10 Feb '04

could u pls add this to the docs/faq? --------- Forwarded message --------- From: Alex Eskin <alexeskin(a)yahoo.com> To: mplayer-dev-eng(a)mplayerhq.hu Subject: Re: [MPlayer-dev-eng] wmv9dmod.dll load failure: bug report + patch Ok this is a fedora problem which also affects wine. There is no workaround which is local to mplayer alone, but the following works: 1) edit /etc/syconfig/prelink and change change PRELINK_OPTS=-mR to PRELINK_OPTS="-mR --no-exec-shield" 2) touch /var/lib/misc/prelink.force 3) /etc/cron.daily/prelink (this relinks all the applications, and it takes quite a while). What is happening is the following (taken from the wine mailing list): The loading addresses for system libraries are changed once per week (or 2 weeks, don't remember). System libraries added after the last complete assignation are assigned a random address at each load, so is you try to execute 10 times in a row the same program, it'll fail some of the time and succeed the remaining times. Disabling exec-shield (either via setarch i386 or with the proc thing) works sometimes, depending on the loading addresses assigned to libraries. If something (libc, libm, libdl, etc.) uses that address, nothing Win32 will be usable. When exec-shield is disabled, new libraries will be assigned loading addresses starting at the lower value possible, but already assigned ones (via prelinking) will still keep theirs, hence possibly blocking execution. Would you accept a patch which detects this condition and sends the user somewhere for a workaround?
