wine with 32bit chroot help

Hi, I want to use wine from a chroot environment, I followed the instructions on the wiki, now my problem is that wine won't see the data from my 64bit install. I think I need to bind a lot of my 64bit install to my 32bit chroot, how do I do that? what folders should I bind?

I use the alias wine='schroot -pqd "$(pwd)" -- wine' to run wine.

I think that's what chroot's about: what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

When you change root to another directory you cannot access files and commands outside that directory.

isn't that what the schroot -p for? FWIU, schroot -p will automagically preserve the environment, thats how I can schroot -p -- firefox and run 32 bit firefox and it keeps my history/themes ect.
I don't understand why it doesn't work with wine though.

schroot -p only preserves the environment (output of env), if you have multiple mount-points you need to specify them without the chroot.

Re: wine with 32bit chroot help

now my problem is that wine won't see the data from my 64bit install. I think I need to bind a lot of my 64bit install to my 32bit chroot, how do I do that? what folders should I bind?

Write the folders where your data are in the file /etc/schroot/mount-arch32.
For example, I need to access files in a /data folder when I am inside my arch32 chrooted system ; so I added the folder like that :

# mount.defaults: static file system information for chroots.
# Note that the mount point will be prefixed by the chroot path
# (CHROOT_PATH)
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>   <dump>  <pass>
proc        /proc       proc    defaults    0   0
/dev        /dev        none    rw,bind     0   0
#/dev/pts   /dev/pts    none    rw,bind     0   0
tmpfs       /dev/shm    tmpfs   defaults    0   0
/sys        /sys        none    rw,bind     0   0
/tmp        /tmp        none    rw,bind     0   0
/home       /home       none    rw,bind     0   0
/data       /data       none    rw,bind     0   0

Note the last line in the file.
You should not have so many data folders to bind, so write one line for each different base directory.
