How to preload library with ld_preload to wine in Arch Linux?

I want to learn how to preload and hook functions in wine running windows apps. I'm trying to preload a library with ld_preload to wine(windows game(32-bit)) on Arch Linux (64-bit but I think I installed 32-bit support). I get the error wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 and the same for ELFCLASS64 .

Full error text:

"ERROR: ld.so: object './eve.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored."

the same for 64bit and another one

ERROR: ld.so: object './eve.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

How am I getting "wrong class" when I have both 32 and 64-bit installed? What architecture do I need to make it work right?

Wow.exe:

Wow.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

I tried to build with and without the -m32 flag ( I changed all uint32 to uint64 ):

gcc -std=c99 -Wall -Werror -m32 -O0 -fpic -shared -ldl -lGL -o eve.so eve.c

I saw this answer:

ltrace /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --preload /path/to/lib/strcmp.so./exec

But don't know how to run it with wine running the app.

Answer 1

The wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 means you are trying to inject a 32-bit program into a 64-bit process. This would lead me to believe your game is 64-bit, and you should compile your libraries as 64-bit as well. But since you mention you saw the error for 64-bits as well, it would be best to check your wine installation directly. Run dpkg -l | grep wine dpkg -l | grep wine . You'll see something like this:

dpkg -l | grep wine
ii  libwine:i386                          4.0-2                               i386         Windows API implementation - library
ii  wine                                  4.0-2                               all          Windows API implementation - standard suite
ii  wine32:i386                           4.0-2                               i386         Windows API implementation - 32-bit binary loader

On the far right, you can see this example is 32-bit.

The second error message you reported, cannot open shared object file , means the dynamic linker can't find your library. Double check all your file paths. Instead of using the relative import ./eve.so , use a full absolute path ( /path/to/lib/eve.so ) so there's no ambiguity to the system. You usually want to specify an absolute path to LD_PRELOAD. The reason is that it being an environment variable, it's inherited by child processes - which may have a different working directory than the parent process. So any relative path would fail to locate the library to preload.

As for how to set the environment variable in Wine, wine passes on the entire shell environment variable space to the Windows environment variable space, so you just set the variable in Linux beforehand and it will be available to the game inside wine:

export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/lib/eve.so
wine ...

As another note, LD_PRELOAD will affect the wine loader only. If you would like to affect wineserver as well:

wineserver -k
export LD_PRELOAD=...
wine ...
