EAC under Wine

ennui · 2011-02-18 08:33:30

After countless hours of frustration I decided to make this post.
I have pestered people in many IRC channels, dug through forums, and exhausted the bug comments at winehq.

These are the steps I have taken to try and make it work. They are a combination of things I saw in the bugzilla stuff on winehq but nothing seems to help.

>I install wine with pacman
>run WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
>mount a cdrom to /media/cd
>in the 'drives' tab of winecfg I path to /media/cd
I then click the 'Show Advanced' button and select CD as the type
>I make ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: a symlink to /dev/sr0 (my optical drive)
> I make sure my user owns /media/cd and /dev/sr0
>open the EAC install exe with wine
>run regsvr32 sql* in the EAC dir
>run EAC.exe with wine
>Set the interface to the native win32
>close and reopen EAC

at this point I get EAC to open but it is frozen. There is no cursor, I can't click, and hot keys don't work. It would seem that there might be another dll that is not getting registered. Here is a pastebin of what it looks like when I run EAC.
http://pastebin.com/5MgxSE09

I am convinced this has something to do with either an unregistered dll or a problem in how my drives are set up in winecfg and the ~/.wine/dosdevices dir

Is there anyone out there who is successfully running EAC under wine who could let me know how it's done?

You might want to take a look at cdparanoia, it is a native app and does something similar to eac. You may want to look for some nice guy to go with it though.

+1 for cdparanoia
Better yet, give abcdef a try. No need for wine or a huge d/l. See my config in my dotfiles github repo.

hmmm, the latest eac runs fine for me under wine on my arch64 system (multilib libraries installed of course) under kde; I'm ripping a cd right now as a matter of fact. I never mounted my audio cd's when I ripped them though.

I think I set my cd drives for autodetect in wine's config gui, ran the eac install and followed the blowfish guide for setting up my drives and compression options. Sorry that I cannot be more of a help

Here's my log:

Do to the EAC log's superior verbosity I'm afraid I can accept no substitute. Atleast until the rubyripper guys get off their butts and make their logs comparable
*By the way, please go here and vote to make this happen!: http://code.google.com/p/rubyripper/iss … ail?id=411

I have a few questions for you ssri.

First off, do you need to chown your optical drive each time you want to rip with EAC or have you found a way to use a udev rule to make you the owner at all times? It seems wine doesn't care if your user is in the 'optical' group, you still can't use the drive unless you are the owner.

Secondly, All of my CD track info appears in red and I don't know what this means. I could really only find the problem described in this thread:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57534
Sadly it seems no solution was mentioned in the thread before it was hijacked to argue over which ripper is best.

Third, there seems to be an issue with the compressor (In this case Flac). I too followed the blowfish guide for configuring EAC to the smallest detail (For lossless). But when I try and rip a CD I get an error after each track for which I must click 'ok' before the ripping continues. This error gives no real info just "external compressor has returned an error". It then shows my flac options as configured in the compressor settings, and the file path to wav it was compressing. I have noticed that the temp .wav files remain even after the flacs are completed. Is this a permissions error? Can flac not delete the wav for some reason?
These strange things compounded by the fact that when I test the compressor with the button in the 'compressor options' the output shows an error saying 'could not open input file'. Would you mind sharing your compressor settings? I don't know why yours should work while mine do not if we both followed the blowfish guide.

I am also running on a 64bit arch. Did you run WINEARCH=win32 winecfg ? Do you have EAC's interface set to the native win32?
Any winetrick? Library overides? What multilib libraries are you referring to? I know I installed a bunch way back when to get zsnes to play nice.
I followed this guide:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-386370.html
Because there seems to be no arch based guide.
Sorry to ask so much of you but any info on how you set up wine and EAC would be greatly appreciated!

1 down!
I solved my issue with the compressor. I had an unneeded space at the end of my flac options!
Let this be a lesson to anyone who finds this thread in the future looking to fix a problem with flac. Those arguments must really be scrutinized!

I never manually mount or chown a CD when I rip a CD, no matter which software I use. I do have these two lines in /etc/fstab to automount CDs and DVDs:

/dev/cdrom   /media/cd   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0   0
/dev/dvd     /media/dvd  auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0   0

If you try it, run 'mount -a' as root after editing fstab.
