As Ulrich explained, it's only useful for running the Win32s *subsystem* that came with some older apps. Again, that's useful not for the apps, but for the silly Win32 MS subsystem. And it's most likely broken anyway. Now, why anyone do that? What's to gain? It doesn't help anyone, it just adds bloat and confusion to the tree. And waists valuable developer time. Like yours for dealing with it, or Ulrich for explaining, or mine, or anyone following this thread. And thing is, in 2-3 months people will forget, and this will come back to haunt us. And more time will be wasted. And so on. Just get rid of it, everybody wins. -- Dimi.

You need to send some sort of trace of your application if it is to be possible to determine that.

Problem with network functions

Doing a cvs update made some programs unable to access the network. Cygwin installer and Yahoo Messenger 5.5 say both they can't initialize the network If usefull, I pasted a log of the cygwin installer with --debugmsg +wininet. trace:wininet:DllMain 0x41e40000,1,(nil) fixme:wininet:InternetAttemptConnect Stub trace:wininet:InternetOpenA trace:wininet:InternetCrackUrlA trace:wininet:GetInternetScheme trace:wininet:SetUrlComponentValue http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst (4) trace:wininet:SetUrlComponentValue (null) (0) trace:wininet:SetUrlComponentValue (null) (0) trace:wininet:SetUrlComponentValue sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst (18) trace:wininet:SetUrlComponentValue /cygwin/mirrors.lst (19) trace:wininet:InternetCrackUrlA http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst: host(sources.redhat.com) path(/cygwin/mirrors.lst) extra() trace:wininet:InternetConnectA ServerPort 80 trace:wininet:HTTP_Connect --> trace:wininet:HTTP_Connect <-- trace:wininet:HttpOpenRequestA trace:wininet:InternetCloseHandle 0x402d4db8 trace:wininet:HTTP_CloseHTTPSessionHandle trace:wininet:SendAsyncCallback Send Callback 70 trace:wininet:InternetQueryOptionA 0x00000009 trace:wininet:DllMain 0x41e40000,3,(nil) ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !

Cygwin/Wine : status update
by Sylvain Petreolle 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Cygwin bash currently fails to execute due to OpenProcessToken. Looking in source, I see that advapi32.OpenProcessToken calls ntdll.NtOpenProcessToken. This functions is a stub that returns always false today. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo!

Screenshots
by Mike Hearn 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Hi, I'm happy to put together some screenshots on my RedHat 8 box at work (pretty much default install albiet with a slightly customised gnome2 layout). However it strikes me that having people just randomly send shots to Brian isn't the best way to go about it as nobody knows who has sent what. Have you actually got any yet Brian? If not, are there any apps you'd like to me make screenshots of? I currently have IE6 and WinZip installed, but can go install more if they are freely available on the net. thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ

Diablo II fails after a recent cvs update..
by Dustin Navea 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

Going to start Diablo II after an update last night (after not updating for a couple of days) causes a crash. What debugmsgs would be needed to fix this I dunno, but I suppose I could do a regression test.. Anyone wanna take a look after I post the results of the regression test (probably some time thursday)? -Dustin

Wine merge required: COM/OLE header changes
by Ove Kaaven 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

These patches are against ReWind and requires some merging work in order to apply to Wine. Could someone (hm... Greg?) do that for me? The fundamental idea here is to make sure that no files except unknwn.h ever include wine/obj_base.h directly, because the IUnknown interface definition will soon move to unknwn.h, and the API function prototypes will move to objbase.h (which indirectly includes unknwn.h through objidl.h). While I was at it, I also made sure that a couple of common to-be-IDL-generated files aren't included directly, as the headers in question have wrapper headers that are supposed to contain related API function prototypes - these prototypes will also be moved later, so I thought I might as well ensure that the wrapper headers are used now. The attached comhdr1.diff contains header changes and #ifdef guards that force a compilation error if any of these "forbidden" headers are included directly. It seems to apply to Wine as-is. (And I think the #ifdef guards should be applied to Wine even if #ifdefs aren't popular around here, because it protects against introduction of new bad code in Wine while the conversion is in progress; and when a particular header has been successfully converted, its respective #ifdef guard will of course be removed again.) The attached comhdr2.diff seems to fix all the resulting compilation errors in ReWind, and is what needs "merging". Apply as much of it as you can and fix the compilation errors that remain in Wine. Thanks.

As I said, if you use getpwnam() you check for > HAVE_GETPWNAM; whether getpwuid() also exists or not is completely > irrelevant. Well, the problem is it is possible that you in order to fail gracefully needs to do different things depending on whether some other function exists or not. OK, the functions meantioned above are not likely to have side effect or something else that effect the other functions in any relevant way. But there might be function pairs, tripples etc that does. Sure you can say that since any function might fail any code should always be able to handle a missing function as well since it in some abstract meaning it sufficiently similar to a normal failure. But regardless, I think it is good to make it clear that he or she who wrote expects certain things to be true and things might not work if they are not true. I somebody hits the "assertion" they can audit the code and if it seems that it doesn't matter they can modify the "assertion" to whatever is proper in the light of the new different enviroment. If it does matter they will modify the code accordingly... Somehow this seems much better than just hoping that the orginal programmer handled all error cases correctly...
