Effect Compilation Fails via Wine on Arch Linux

[kimimaru4000]

This is a follow-up to #7360. I'm still experiencing the same issue on Arch Linux.

I need to update an existing game to work on newer operating systems, including Arch Linux for the Steam Deck. I followed all the steps and thought I did everything correctly, but the output is still the same as it was for me two years ago:

Build started (redacted)

(redacted)/Desktop/Test/Test/Content/File.fx
(redacted)/Desktop/Test/Test/Content/File.fx: 

Build 0 succeeded, 1 failed.

Time elapsed 00:00:03.82.

I have wine-staging 7.20-1 installed, which includes 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Wine.

I'm honestly not sure how others have managed to get this to work since it never worked for me across 2 different machines and 2 different operating systems.

Are the instructions updated on the documentation, or am I missing something? I would really appreciate help getting this resolved since it's been a frustrating pain point whenever I want to build my game. Since I updated MonoGame, I can no longer use the pre-compiled shaders I have since it refuses to load as they've been built with an older version of MonoGame.

Thanks in advance!

What version of MonoGame does the bug occur on:

• MonoGame 3.8.1

I have this working in Debian 11, wine-7.0 using the script from develop branch here:
https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/blob/develop/Tools/MonoGame.Effect.Compiler/mgfxc_wine_setup.sh
I had a lot of problems with wine staging and changed to stable, maybe giving a try changing the wine version could help.
