But now, my problem is that neither of my windows programming books has makefiles of any sort. All they have is C++ code. So maybe I should go with my original plan of compiling stuff with visual studio and seeing if it runs under wine. Or do you have any other suggestions?

Expected name, id, length or ordinal error
by John Westerman 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Hi Everybody, I'm currently trying to compile the basic Win32 "Hello world" project that VC6 generates for you using Wine. Currently I'm running winemaker like this: winemaker --nomfc -I/usr/local/wine/include -L/usr/local/wine/lib -ikernel32.lib -iuser32.lib -igdi32.lib -iwinspool.lib -icomdlg32.lib -iadvapi32.lib -ishell32.lib -iole32.lib -ioleaut32.lib -iuuid.lib -iodbc32.lib -iodbccp32.lib /home/john/hello I've also added the header files that would have been found in the StdAfx.h to my main.cpp. This is because Winemaker wouldn't build with StdAfx.h in the directory, so I deleted it. This is the error I now get when I run make ./hellotest.spec:8: Expected name, id, length or ordinal My hellotest.spec looks like this: name hellotest type win32 mode guiexe init WinMain rsrc hellotest.res import kernel32.lib import user32.lib <- line of failure Any Ideas? Thanks in Advance, John Westerman

PATCH - Define needed flags when building for Mingw
by Steven Edwards 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Dont know if this is right or not as you all know I think configure is a little whore. =P Maybe this should go somewhere else. I have about 12 or 13 other things that need to be fixed when building WINE for Mingw and MSYS and I am tired of doing ./configure CFLAGS="-D__MINGW__ -D_WINDOWS -DWINE_NOWINSOCK" Maybe someone can suggest a better way rather than -DWINE_NOWINSOCK?

DirectSound and i810 soundcards
by Francois Gouget 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

There is a problem with Directsound and i810 soundcards. The test I just sent to wine-patches illustrates it very well. Basically sounds are being played too fast. Here's my understanding of the problem (if my memory and understanding of the logs is correct): When DSound initializes it create a primary sound buffer and invokes winmm to actually get access to a sound device. The default format of the primary buffer is 22050x16x2 (i.e. 22050Hz, 16 bit sound, stereo). This means the device it's going to get will be handled by msacm.drv which will be responsible for performing the conversions on the fly. However during the primary buffer creation DSDB_MapPrimary gets invoked in wineoss and does an mmap of the hardware sound buffer. So when we then play sound in a secondary sound buffer, this sound gets mixed into the primary buffer, but because of the mmap this then goes straight to the sound card with no further conversion. So you end up with a chipmunk sound effect since you play a 22050x16x2 sound at 48000x16x2. I will try to make more tests to confirm this but does it seem to make sense? Should I look in some other direction? Any suggestion about a fix? If you have an i810 soundcard you can reproduce by doing the following: * apply "Add WINETEST_INTERACTIVE" from wine-patches * apply "Add 'audiophile' DirectSound tests" from wine-patches * cd dlls/dsound/tests * make * WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 ../../../tools/runtest -P wine -M dsound.dll -T ../../.. -p dsound_test.exe.so dsound.c (you can also set WINETEST_DEBUG=2 to get more debug info about the test's buffer management, though this is probably not relevant here) Alternately, you can download the latest Windows test binaries from my site (http://fgouget.free.fr/wine/winetests.zip) and run them using Wine, or on Windows: set WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 dsound_test dsound Actually I would be interested in the results of this test on Windows: * the test tone is usually played three times. Are all three, and especially the first one, at the right pitch? * what is the output of the test? I'm interested in reported capabilities as stated by Windows and Wine for instance (to determine whether the primary buffer is emulated for instance). * what is the primary buffer's default format? 22050x16x2? (that's not supported by the sound card!) * does the winmm test work? set WINETEST_INTERACTIVE=1 winmm_test wave * in particular, what happens when the test tone is played with WAVE_FORMAT_DIRECT on Windows? (except Win9x platforms which don't support that flag) -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)codeweavers.com

Problem in dlls/ddraw/dsufrace/main.c
by Sylvain Petreolle 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Trying to run Revolt Demo, the program halts saying DDERR_NOTFOUND in Main_DirectDrawSurface_GetAttachedSurface Looking in the source, we see that : found=NULL; for (surf = This->attached; surf != NULL; surf = surf->next_attached){ ... // surf is not modified into that if (...) found=surf; } if (found == NULL) { TRACE("Did not find any valid surface\n"); return DDERR_NOTFOUND; } Looks like the only possible return value of this is DDERR_NOTFOUND, because of the for(...; surf !=NULL ; ...) Or am I writing complete bullshit ? ===== Sylvain Petreolle spetreolle(a)users.sourceforge.net Fight against Spam ! http://www.euro.cauce.org/en/index.html ICQ #170597259 "Don't think you are.

Re: Registering DLL's

Alexandre said: > Part of it should be done with DllRegisterServer, the rest can be > handled by the .inf script. And I think it's OK to add the necessary > DllRegisterServer entry points even if the native dll doesn't have > them. I'm glad you feel that way. I created bug 1117, "Make all Wine OLE DLLs self-registerable", and have been working on an implementation. For some reason I can't accept the bug; though I've tried several times, it stays at UNCONFIRMED. What to do about DLLs like ole32.dll that have a native DllRegisterServer but no corresponding DllUnregisterServer? I'm inclined to include it for completeness, though it's unlikely that anyone would ever want to unregister such a basic system DLL. I posted my idea for representing the registration data, accidentally from "jhohm(a)happyhappy.dyndns.org" rather than my usual "jhohm(a)acm.org" (see http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1409.html) but I haven't gotten any responses, not even "looks fine" or "you are a moron". I guess I'll just start submitting patches, then.

Can't find MFC afx.h
by John Westerman 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

Hi Everybody, I'm currently trying to compile the basic Win32 "Hello world" project that VC6 generates for you using Wine. My problem is that when I run ./configure -with-wine=/usr/local/wine It fails with the Message "checking for afx.h .... Could not find the MFC includes" However this file is located in /usr/local/wine/include/mfc. I got afx.h and the other headers by directly copying them from my Dos partition at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Include I have even renamed these files to be lowercase. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks in Advance, John Westerman

distcc and wine
by Martin Pool 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

I saw (reading my referrer logs :-) people were interested in distcc with Wine, so I thought I would add it to distcc's performance benchmark. Across three machines I saw a 2.58x speedup -- details are attached. The machines were all 1GB, 1700MHz Pentium IV with a 100Mbps switched connection. Building on just one took 22m57s, and across all three took 8m53s. There is probably still some scheduling inefficiency here, which I hope to reduce over the next few months. I'm not sure what was happening with the person who saw little change. Perhaps they had distcc misconfigured, or perhaps they hit a bug. Either way I would be interested in hearing the details ($DISTCC_HOSTS, etc) and seeing if I can help fix it. I hope you find ccache and distcc useful. Wine is a cool project. Please cc me on replies. -- Martin
