Can someone please refresh my > memory on why storing binary _images_ in CVS is such a bad idea? I think it is because CVS can't store the diffs between binary files. It stores the whole file even if only one byte change. So it takes a lot of space to store the history of the file. Of course storing space is cheap nowadays...

Whatever happend to winepath?
by Michael Wetherell 05 May '02

05 May '02

I posted a utility to convert between unix and DOS paths the other day, something like cygwin's cygpath, and it didn't get applied. So I was wondering why? Was it not thought to be useful or was there semething wrong that I can fix? MIke

Help with LCM_Unicode_LUT in ole2nls.c wanted
by Uwe Bonnes 05 May '02

05 May '02

Hallo, looking at LCMapStringW, I think we need some table like the LCM_Unicode_LUT[] table. However - I don't understand where the values come from. Odd values seem to be a collation of flags, even values to be some character weight and LCM_Diacritic_LUT[] is some weight for the diacritic. - Do the tables in ../wine/unicode somehow contain enough information to generate these tables? Help and pointers appreciated. Bye -- Uwe Bonnes bon(a)elektron.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de Free Software: If you contribute nothing, expect nothing --

Also, I am a bit puzzled, since the map error comes after the LoadLibraryExA errors.

GDI objects management should be moved eventually to wineserver. I can confirm Alexandre's suspicion about that undocumented behaviour. At least the following code works on windows2000: HWND hWnd; HBRUSH hBrush; LOGBRUSH lb; int nbytes; hWnd = FindWindow(NULL, "Calculator"); assert(hWnd); hBrush = (HBRUSH)GetClassLong(hWnd, GCL_HBRBACKGROUND); assert(hBrush); nbytes = GetObject(hBrush, sizeof(LOGBRUSH), &lb); assert(nbytes == sizeof(LOGBRUSH)); -- Dmitry.

(that'd be IMO the cleanest way...) A+

> How are you planning on linking the dlls/resources once wine is up 2 > date on MSVC? No specific plan. I just fix issues that I can find acceptable solutions to one by one in hope that all will be fixed eventually. You and Alexandre have fixed some of them that I wasn't sure how to solve in an acceptable way so, as I said, perhaps we will solve them all eventually. :-) > Can MSVC build wrc resources and link them? The formats are not 100% compatible. Specificly WRC supports embedded icons and bitmaps. Microsoft RC requires a link to the binary. However Alexandre doesn't like binary files in the CVS for good reasons so making the RC files 100% Microsoft compatable wouldn't be a good idea either. Not sure how to solve this in a good way other than actually using WRC on Windows of course.

Issues building the spec.o on win32 with mingw

I get this on almost every *.spec.o Administrator(a)LAPTOP /cygdrive/d/src/winehq/wine/dlls/commdlg $ make PATH="../../unicode:$PATH" ../../tools/wrc/wrc -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../ include -o rsrc.res -r rsrc.rc PATH="../../unicode:$PATH" ../../tools/winebuild/winebuild -L../../dlls -o comm dlg.spec.c -spec commdlg.spec gcc -mno-cygwin -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -D__MINGW__ -D_WINDO WS -DWINE_NOWINSOCK -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -D__WINE__ -D_REENTRANT -o commdlg.spec.o commdlg.spec.c /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccU3cEQ7.s: Assembler messages: /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccU3cEQ7.s:1104: Warning: unknown se ction attribute 'a' /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccU3cEQ7.s:1106: Error: unknown pseu do-op: `.previous' make: *** [commdlg.spec.o] Error 1 Any ideas? I really don't need the spec because I can do a -l if I can build the .a for ntdll and a few others. I can use dlltool with the *.defs and then I only need winebuild to make the *.defs. Only problem is winebuild wants so's not dll's when building a def or looking for imports. I was going to have a look at the loader/winedump code for ideas but I thought I would ask here first.

A dsound regression

A little more regression testing... The 5/1 dsound patch causes this on one of my apps: err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll sound.dll still not found - library environment problem or version conflict, check your setup. err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll sound.dll still not found - library environment problem or version conflict, check your setup. err:wave:DSDB_MapPrimary (0x4568ca04): Could not map sound device for direct access (Input/output error)
