Re: IKernel fails

The log I get seems to show a COM exception caused by a call made by ITypeInfo_fnInvoke that was unable to cast an argument to the required type (a first time, VT_I4 vs VT_BOOL, the second time VT_DISPATCH vs VT_PTR) I quickly patched the code to perform the conversion, and the installation started, so that seems to be the problem. BTW, there are other calls that expect VT_PTR and VT_SAFEARRAY as a data type but are being invoked with a VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT, but those don't seem to stop the installer, for the moment.

tools/wpp, ppdebug
by Tapio Kautto 27 Nov '02

Hi! I'm trying to compile recent versions of wine with Debian Sid. My compile stops in wpp saying that variable ppdebug is not defined. I added line int ppdebug=1; in wpp.c, and it compiles. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? Thanks, Eleknader

Re: Coding standards

> I found a couple that used ~4space indent, and used tabs too (they > seemed to expect 1tab = 8, as the code looked neat in a standard text > editor). Probably vi with autoindent, tabstop=8 and shiftwidth=4 (my preferred indent). More fun can be had arguing over whether to do: if (...) { ... } else { ... } or: if (...) { ... } else { ... } or: if (...) { ... } else { ... } If you have a paper listing you definitely need '} else {' on a single line. Otherwise you lose track of the control flow when reading it. (Never mind that you get many more lines on a page/screen.) Of course the opening '{' for a function MUST be in column 1. A coding standard really ought to discuss namespace usage and pollution. Any reasonable layout is usually ok. (OTOH I much prefer that tab stops be at 8 character intervals.)

Performance issues
by João Alfredo 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hello people, How can i improve performance in GUI applications under wine? I have a cobol application here made with microfocus netexpress and I can see the button icons reloading every type I refresh the screen. I'm using wine from CVS with a PIII 900Mhz redhat 7.3 box.

Wine app
by Fabian Cenedese 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi I came across this page: http://www.unrealized.com/references/ "Unfortunately we have no information on running UnrealEd in Linux. Perhaps someone has had success running it under WINE? If so, please let us know about it so we can get more information for others trying to run UnrealEd on their Linux box." So I guess they would like to hear if someone had success and would also put a "works with wine" on their page once it's running. bye Fabi

Run .bat files
by Fabian Cenedese 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi I found out that I can't run batch files directly. It gives me "cannot determine executable type". Maybe there is a possibility to start it right away with wcmd or wineconsole. The problem is that it must also work if a running app calls the batch files with CreateThread. Could it be a solution to add a new type to MODULE_GetBinaryType and then start a console with the batch file argument? If this is already too late, is there another possibility inside wine? Would it work if I change the call to CreateThread("cmd file.bat")? But then it has to work on all Windows95, NT and wine (command.com, cmd.exe, wcmd). Thanks bye Fabi

Problem in winemaker
by Sylvain Petreolle 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Trying to debug the cygwin installer that isn't able to reread where it saves the pakages, I wanted to compiler the installer as Winelib. running 'winemaker .' in setup source dir fails when analysing IOStreamProvider.h, at line 1193 in winemaker.

That doesn't help someone who wants a full relay trace because they don't know where the problem is, but doesn't want to start until close to the problem. I have myself wished we had the capability. Admittedly my traces were smaller than 3GB but I would be very happy to get rid of the top 100MB of the trace. > > -- > "My attitude is, everybody should try competing with > Microsoft once in their life.
