Uncleared WM_PAINT loop problem
by Dave Hawkes 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Hi, I have a problem where an edit control get stuck in an infinite WM_PAINT loop. BeginPaint never clears the paint count because of this code: if(((hrgnUpdate = wndPtr->hrgnUpdate) != 0) || (wndPtr->flags & WIN_INTERNAL_PAINT)) add_paint_count( hwnd, -1 ); if wndPtr->hrgnUpdate is 0 then the paint count is never decremented here and nowhere else attempts to decrement it and we land up in an infinite paint loop. I'm not sure how we get to this point the a NULL update region (which may be a bug anyway), but there should still be a method of breaking out of this loop once we are there. I tried removing the test and always calling add_paint_count and this appears to fix the problem. Before I submit this change, does anyone know the original reason for this test in the first place? Thanks Dave Hawkes

problems with counter-strike under wine
by Matthew Winner 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

info: newest versions of counter-strike and half-life for windows. wine version 200111008 GLX and NVdriver installed and working for nvidia card running hl.exe from .../half-life on c:\ of windows partition with wine --winver win98 hl.exe -- hl.exe --console using c:\\windows, c:\\windows\\system, c:\\windows\\temp, etc in .wine/config file halflife loads and runs flawlessly, but these errors occur when I try and start a game of counterstrike: fixme:winsock:_get_sock_fd handle 0 is not a socket (GLE 6) Warning: /halflife.wad not accessible from a configured DOS drive I also get one that looks like this: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoA Unimplemented action: 3 (SPI_GETMOUSE) It will terminate on all three of these, apparently at random, but the most common is the one about halflife.wad. here's my config entry on the DOS drive in question: [Drive C] "Path" = "/mnt/win" "Type" = "hd" "Label" = "MS-DOS" "Filesystem" = "win95" "Device" = "/dev/hda1" It's a fat32 partition running windows 98 se and windows 2000. windows 98 is emulated in the conifg file. The last line "Device" I added, hoping this would help somehow. The mount point and /dev/hda1 are correct. I've tried running with --winver win98, this doesn't seem to help. any ideas? I noticed a few others on this post have had similar problems. It's pretty clear that Counter-Strike can and does work under WINE. Is this an ldconfig matter? what should I do? matt -- mwinner(a)altavista.com Find the best deals on the web at AltaVista Shopping! http://www.shopping.altavista.com

Wine, Office, and the antitrust settlement
by Dan Kegel 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

I'm proposing that Wine be part of the settlement of the Microsoft antitrust trial. See http://www.kegel.com/remedy.html Comments welcome. I have a few questions for Wine developers, especially the good folks at Codeweavers and Transgaming: 1. How much would it cost to achieve full support for Office 2000 in Wine? 2. Is it true that Office uses undocumented Windows APIs? If so, how many? Are they a significant part of the challenge of supporting Office? Thanks, Dan Kegel dank(a)kegel.com

On Solaris fstab is vfstab, and mtab is mnttab, parsing these files is no good unless it is done in some portable way. (Not that smbfs even works on Solaris) I would think that persistent share selection should be saved in the registry and accessed through smbclient rather than smbfs, then smb shares would work for all OSs supporting Samba, not just those supporting smbfs. IMHO There are already too many linux centrix assumptions in wine, please, lets not add any more . Bob

Getting Started
by Oliver Sampson 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Howdy, I'm trying to get started with Wine development, and I figured the best way would be to CVS the code and install it. I CVSed the code, configured, did a 'make depend', 'make', and a 'make install'. When I try to run wine, I get a message that libntdll.so wasn't found. So I found it in /usr/lib/libntdll.so. is there something in the initial setup config that didn't work correctly? FWIW, I can rpm the wine-cvs-unstripped rpm just fine, and it works well. (The install process and the program.) Any ideas how to get this working from my cvs directory?
