Icewind Dale and dirty stacks
by Filip Spacek 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hello, Having nothing to do, I bought Icewind Dale. As my luck would have it, it doesn't run in Wine. So I've spent the weekend trying to figure out why (which is aguably more fun than actually playing the game). It turns out that it allocates a huge structure on the stack (20948 bytes) but it doesn't initialize it properly. My current theory as to why would that work on Windows is that given the size of the thing the space for it is probably freshly faulted in and hence clean. In wine though, this space is already dirtied up (by Xlib initialization). Now of course, this is a program bug, and Wine is not at fault, but I'd still really like to play the game. Would it be possible to somehow run some of the dll initialization on a different stack? Or clean up afterwards? Or if nothing else, does anyone know how to quickly set a chunk of memory to zero in gdb (my current method of using a while loop with a set statement takes about 15 minutes to run). -Filip

The last demos what i have tried to install (d3d9), need uxtheme.dll, i am not sure if it is possible to use the native .dll (i haven't XP), but if it is not possible, i think that d3d9 should be left for later.

DLL downloading
by Tommy McCabe 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I've gotten rather tired of downloading DLL files one-by-one, so I wrote a script to do it automatically. It gets the DLLs from an online server and uses packages/tools bash, wget, tar, rm, cp, gzip, and unzip (Those are basic GNU packages, so I'm assuming they're universal to Linux distros.) Unfortunately, due to my newness to scripting, it needs a lot of variables to be set for it before it can work (no inputs, variables have to be set by other programs, working on it). Here they are: $compress: Compression format. Currently, tar, tar+gzip, zip, and none (no compression) are included. $server: The server to download the files from. HTTP and FTP will work. $serverpath: The server directory where the DLL is located. $dllname: The name of the DLL. (DO NOT stick on .tar, .tar.gz, .dll, etc. It'll come out looking like (dllfile).dll.dll, which'll mess it up. For example, kernel32.dll would be just kernel32, and kernel32.zip would be just kernel32 as well. Working on this, too- right now the .dll and compression extensions are added automatically.) $dest: The directory on the computer where the DLL goes. (Note: for directories, DO NOT put a slash mark on the end. It'll end up like /home/knoppix//(dllfile) (notice the double slash). Right now that's done automatically- working on that, too.) Could someone tell me how to include inputs in bash scripts so all these variables can be set directly by the user instead of by other programs? I welcome all suggestions, comments, improvements, and criticisms. (Hey, I'm new at scripts.) Note: I'm not subscribed to the list, so please send me email at my address specifically.

Trillian hangs under wine
by Nick Sukharev 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I am trying to make Trillian work under wine. It works fine up to the point where I try to drag its window. Then it hangs and I even need to switch to the text mode shell to be able to kill wine processes. The error says : err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40ef98c0 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000d, retrying (60 sec) Time:973746 Some research showed me that thread 0009 is trying to poll for new window messages while thread 000d is calling GetCursorPos. The GetCursorPos eventually results in a X11 call and it looks like this call never returns. I built wine from the wine-20031016 sources. I would appreciate if somebody can give my an insight what might be wrong here or where to look.
