For all wine files that contain code written by others: >a) Just keep them "secret" until I get paid, at which point I send them >in all together. Pros: Simple, Cons: people might duplicate my work. Good idea >b) Notify the Wine community of what the patches do/are but keep their >contents secret. LGPL violation, if you give your customer a LGPL'ed binary of wine, you must give them (Or at least offer them) access to the source, and you can't legally stop him/them from sending the code to wine-patches (Even if he/they may not have any interest in doing so) >c) Post them all to wine-devel but under a license that prevents them >being merged unless you get a special exception from me. That way people >can see, peer review the patches etc but they don't get committed. Of >course, as this is just supposed to be insurance anyway, that seems a >bit worthless. Obvious and explicit LGPL violation. >d) Say "screw it", submit as usual and just hope I'm dealing with >trustworthy people (unfortunately no contract in this case, the job >isn't really big enough to warrant one). Probably in your interest to opt for A, you can never be sure. Of course, if the code you've written is just say a dll that's linked to/by wine,and you're the only author of that file/dll/whatever, you can even keep if proprietary and choose options b or c or just keep the code totally secret(That's what Transgaming and Codeweavers do). Alternatively, you can ask the copyright holders of the files you've modified for a special license that allows commercial use, in this case you can keep the code closed, and opt for b or d, or keep the code totally secret.

compiler warnings
by Ivan Leo Murray-Smith 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

The current code compiles with a few warnings, in the attachment. BTW you can see how code degenerates rapidly when it's not free software any more, probably 10% of all the output when compiling winex 3.2 is compiler warnings.

Re: Prevent wildcards from being accepted in filenames (NT mode)

It forces compiler generate both a bit mask test and a comparison operation. While many modern processors have very effective bit test instructions, and we have to tell to the compiler that we want only a bit test. Simple !(GetVersion() & 0x80000000) is much better IMO. -- Dmitry.

More spare time = New Winetests build
by Jakob Eriksson 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

winetests has still not made it to CVS so one month later I have another build for you: Tests built with MSVC 7 from CVS 20031127. (Testing shell cross built with mingw32.) http://vmlinux.org/jakov/Wine/ And as Brian Vincent put it: "All you have to do is download winetests.exe and just run it. All of the collected results get displayed in a browser window with the option of submitting them to the wine-tests-results mailing list." Don't be afraid it the screen turns blank for a second. It's normal. regards, Jakob .

winearts & KDE 3.2-beta1
by Kevin Koltzau 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

I decided to give KDE 3.2-beta1 a try (just for reference I'm using the Gentoo ebuild), and found a problem with compiling winearts under KDE 3.1 "artsc-config --cflags" gives me -I/usr/kde/3.1/include/artsc but under KDE 3.2-beta1 I get -I/usr/kde/3.2/include/artsc -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include which causes a problem because this value is passed to makedep during compilation, which fails with "Unknown option '-pthread'"

Re: Winealsa : add support for Alsa 1.0

Wine lecture slides
by Shachar Shemesh 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Hi all, The updated slides for the lecture I'll be giving on Sunday are at http://www.shemesh.biz/wine/slides.pdf. I tried to incorporate all of the feedback from you guys. I would, still, appretiate any further feedback you may wish to give. I also have specific questions, if anyone knows the answers: - What is the current status of "--with-nptl" on RH9? Is it positively necessary to include that when running ./configure? I know it's not necessary when running wineinstall. - Can someone please verify my knowledge of Corel's wine history Hmm, that list turned out shorter Corel-wine: As far as I could discern from the good ol' web, Corel started it's Wine initiative in 1999 as an alternative to actually porting WordPerfect and friends to Linux. They created a branch called "Corel-wine", which was also open source (wine was X11 at the time, so they did have the choice). At some point, corel-wine died. Why did it die? When did that happen?

MSVC build log of wine conformance tests

MSVC build log of wine conformance tests: http://vmlinux.org/jakov/Wine/build_log_MSVC_CVS_2003-11-27.txt All in all, 14 tests compile and 7 do not. AFAIK I use an up to date VC++ 7. (I reinstalled Windows though, so I _might_ have missed something.) regards, Jakob
