Depending how the debugger is set up, that might leave you trying to
work it blind.

You might like

wine blah.exe 2>&1 | tee logfile

Or use the script command to capture a whole session (don't forget to
exit before trying to list the file)

Or if you run from an xterm and got surprised by the crash, you can
start an editor on another xterm, get it in insert mode, and copy and
paste from the wine console or xterm where the debugger is with a mouse
(shift leftbutton, IIRC, I am kind of lame with GUI).

True, it is a shell question, and you should know the answer before you
promote yourself to a software developer and take on a software
development project like Wine.
