How well does WINE run if you have a Window$ CD?
by Roland 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hello, most potential WINE users already own a Windows CD. This is obvious because if you want to run a Windows program on Linux it is because you are probably already using it, and this means you have Windows installed somewhere. Now, if I have the Windows CD I can copy all the needed DLLs(and whatever else) to the correct Directory. Now my question how well does WINE run if you follow this approach? If Wine doesn't work 100% doing it this way, I think this should be the main focus, because after this works, it will be just a question of time till we replace all DLLs with our own ones, one at a time. What about DirectX? Can we use those DLLs? I suppose they need Windows drivers so they might not work with Linux. But would it be possible to make the Windows drivers work on Linux so that DirectX would run? I think this would be a good intermediary goal, especially for all those companies wanting to switch from Windows to Linux because they already have Windows CDs. Roland

[help] GDI text fonts
by leanne 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Dear all, When we are working on the Chinese support on WINE using Lotus Notes r5, we found that the fonts display for the interface is very ugly (attached the screepshot). I would like to change to have different font when detected English or Chinese. Could somebody point me where I could start with? Also, for a text document, the gdi text and font are used to store them, I would like to ask where can I find the structure to store and the code to manipulate it (e.g. send for display/print (pExtTextOut? but where called pExtTextOut))? Thanks. Leanne

Has this been regression-tested for Linux 2.4 ? Just a word of warning - the close semantics are the most difficult problem With sockets in wine, it took me a big effort to get it right on 2.4.

Open up wine-announce to wine-related/using projects
by Joerg Mayer 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

I just found a link to xmms-winamp (http://www.emulinks.de/xmms-winamp/) a project to allow the use of winamp plugins in xmms. This is done with the help of wine or winex. Personally, I'd like to see announcements such as this, crossover and winex on wine-announce. Maybe that way a bit more awareness for the projects using wine can be gained (not to talk about my lazyness to look for such things :-) Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.

FW: Endian-ness?
by Ann and Jason Edmeades 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

I apologize if this comes through twice - I appear to be having network difficulties sending email -----Original Message----- From: Ann and Jason Edmeades [mailto:us(a)the-edmeades.demon.co.uk] Sent: 23 June 2002 21:30 To: wine devel Subject: Endian-ness? Hi, I appear to have hit a little endian-ness problem. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong or how to fix it please? olefont.c #includes wtypes.h This defines a structure as #ifdef BIG_ENDIAN. We hit this case and the parameters are defined in the wrong order as they are passed in from a windows dll. We hit is because endian.h #defines BIG_ENDIAN if __USE_BSD is defined, and features.h #defines _BSD_SOURCE and subsequently __USE_BSD. This is on Mandrake 8.2 if it makes a difference. Regards, Jason

Getting CUPS printer to work in wine
by Joshua Thielen 24 Jun '02

24 Jun '02

After updating to the current CVS I get the following error message: trace:psdrv:PSDRV_CreateDC (WINEPS Printer LPT1: (nil)) To use WINEPS you need to install some AFM files. I believe this may be why I can't get printing to work. But do I really need AFM files to get printing to work? The printing doc says you don't need them for type 1 fonts. I've attached a trace of the printing errors just in case this isn't the cause of the problem. TIA for the help, Josh
