RFC - patch for psapi and missing imports on Mingw target
by Steven Edwards 29 May '02

29 May '02

This kind of a dirty hack but just a idea and it shouldn't have a effect on cygwin as it will use the win32api package also. Mabey a better name then MINGW_IMPORTS can be used. This patch allows psapi.dll to be (almost) built. Mingws libkernel32.a doesn't contain the import information for the toolhelp APIs. Instead it models Visual Studio 6 and implents them in libth32.a. Does anyone know if this has changed in Visual Studio .NET? If so then I will submit a patch to mingw for the Win32api. If not, then I belive using libth32.a is the most proper way. Would a better solution be for me to make the make implib rule and just use wines libkernel32.a? I havent really looked at doing it because NTDLL, MSVCRT,GDI,USER and KERNEL32 are not targets of my port and may contain exports lacking on a Windows host.

There is no need to add aliases to the config file. Config file should provide replacements for basic system fonts only, common aliases are handled by graphics/x11drv/xfont.c, XFONT_LoadAliases(). In the case of the client-side rendered fonts, there is some font aliasing code too. Probably it should be enhanced though. -- Dmitry.

When I use cygwin or msys to build wine/tools I need to link to wrc and wmc to libberty.a. I've tried to write a little fix for it but havent had much luck and still have a few other things I am working on. Thanks Steven "Every revolution was once a thought in one man's mind" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

CoGetClassObject and multiple servers requested
by Medland, Bill 28 May '02

28 May '02

(I guess this is for Marcus) I thought I had heard something about Local Server COM being in place now but when I went to try it with our product I saw no attempt to do it (error message about CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER registered but not supported). So I looked at CoGetClassObject and I see that the Remote_CoGetClassObject (which I presume is attempting to do the LOCAL_SERVER) is only called if a local server is requested and an inproc server or handler is not. Is there a good reason why the Remote_CoGetClassObject is not called on failure to detect a registered inproc server or handler (which the existing structure of the function supported)? Bill

Why start a COM local server twice?
by Medland, Bill 28 May '02

28 May '02

Is this an oversight or a deliberate policy? Remote_CoGetClassObject creates the local server process and hands over to create_marshalled_proxy If create_marshalled_proxy can't immediately find the pipe then it will create the process again. Is it safe to drop the first one? How about the second? It looks to me as if Remote_CoGetClassObject is the only place that calls create_marshalled_proxy so I presume we can remove either. Bill

AppDB: A call for moderation ;-P
by Dustin Navea 28 May '02

28 May '02

After looking at the appdb, and seeing all these seemingly random posts for help and the replies, i.e. using winex over wine for games... I decided to call for some moderation and cleanup on the AppDB. I think that the appdb needs several things done to it to make it more functional and "user-friendly": 1) It needs moderators! 2) It needs to be threaded, i.e. different topics are actually separate, the replies dont just get mixed up with everyone else's... 3) The application owner should be the one that posts screenshots and determines the useability of the app/game/whatever under _wine_, not winex or anything else... 4) It needs links to Bugzilla so people aren't making posts for help that either go unanswered or get an answer that doesn't help them... For #1, the people that have priveleges on bugzilla, and the application owners should be moderators... For #2, the forums would have to be rewritten, but believe me, it would definitely enhance the readability and appeal of the site For #3, It would make it so that people can know at a glance whether their program will work or not, and also lets users contact the person in charge of that program's board for assistance in getting it to work under their copy of wine... For #4, For anything that the application owner can't figure out, or if the user would rather talk to one of the developers beforehand, the links would definitely be a help... say a link at the top of each page: For help with <insert name of app here>, check out Bugzilla at http://bugs.winehq.com Comments appreciated -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Bug 717 - Was Re: [Bug 717] Changed - StarCraft Icons not created by wineshelllink

Well, after looking at the code, I found out that it does create a key in RunOnce to create the icon after reboot, but the icon never gets created, I didn't do much investigation into why, but I do believe that the initialization of wine doesn't read RunOnce and so therefore the icons never get created. Also, after some more investigation, I found out that StarCraft.exe and StarEdit.exe don't get created until after the Windows Start Menu links get copied, so what needs to be done is either implement the runonce reading in wine init, or create an initscript that reads it and creates the icons with wineshelllink upon reboot, OR we can force icon extraction to be delayed somehow until after all other files have been extracted... I personally like the 2nd idea best, as it is 1) the easiest and 2) actually goes with the trace message of "Deferring Icon Creation to Reboot"... Actually, The 2nd idea could even go into the initscript that is posted in bugzilla already, its under one of the early bugs, the one about being able to double click the exe and it runs... -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
