I'd suggest fixing the dependency on getopt_long so that we can have long options without having to always introduce a short option too. Then we can get rid of -J and simply use --nostdinc. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

annoyance running mingw
by Dan Kegel 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

I installed mingw under Wine today, and aside from the EULA etc. showing up blank in the installer, it installed just fine. And it even compiles programs ok! Cool! Unfortunately, mingw's gcc causes Wine to emit zillions of warnings like this: Warning: L"/mingw/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/specs" not accessible from a configured DOS drive Seems like somehow Wine should have been able to avoid issuing that warning. Oh, ok, mingw could stick a drive letter on the path, or use \ as a dir separator, but it shouldn't have to, should it? - Dan p.s. Here's the full set of warnings from one compile of one C file: fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x78010087,1) - no error checking or testing yet Warning: L"/mingw/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/specs" not

gcc 3.2.2?
by Gregory M. Turner 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

To my surprise, Gentoo (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="", iow "stable" Gentoo) is ready to give me gcc 3.2.2 (in fact it compiles as I type). So, what can I expect from wine and gcc322? Any known interestingnesses? Anyone even tried it? Presumably, since the threading magic needs to be in the kernel (I run a modified linux-2.4.21-pre4-ac5 atm), I will not get the pthread bug... but then again, how do I know for sure if I suffer from that or not? Is there a test that is known to reliably break against the new threading model (or perhaps I can presume I "got it" if i can't run notepad?1) whee, gotta love Gentoo, where "stable" means "it's been released for several days" ;) -- gmt "Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerly exercised for the good of its victims may be the most opressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.

Is there some test app that reliable crashes?
by Gerhard W. Gruber 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

I need some app that will produce a crash in order to test winedbg and get used to it. Does anybody have such an application or can tell me a quick way how to create one? Except booting to Windows and writing a NULL pointer access or some such. :) I installed winedbg according to the winehq instructions but when Agent crashes and I say Yes to debug it the wineserver and agent is stuck and I have to kill -9 it. Maybe this is because the output goes to the console window? I think I read something about console but I have no console as a normal user so I can't check this. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.

thread safe?
by Lonnie Cumberland 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Hello All, I was wondering if someone could please tell me if Wine is thread safe? That is, I am wondering if is possible to be running multiple Windows applications under wine at the same time without much degradation of the performance of the system?

Retiring...for now
by Dustin Navea 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Hey guys, I know its been a while.. Things have changed a lot since my last contact with you guys, just thought I would give you a heads up.. I couldnt afford the phone/dsl and let that go, lucky my email is still in tact.. Then I lost my job and couldn't afford rent, so I sold my PC.... :'-( Now, Im gettin ready to start a new job as a telemarketer, and will hopefully be able to make rent this month.. I think everything will be O.K. I just need time to get my priorities straight.. I will probably be leaving to go into the U.S. Army toward the end of the year this year or beginning of next year... Anyways, It's been fun; anyone that wants to take over my bugs on bugs.winehq.com may do so, anyone that wants to take over any of my other tasks (User's Guide, etc) may do so as well, but save a spot for in case I ever find a way to get back here.. May you all have much luck in your journeys and I hope to see you all again someday... Regards, Dustin

MoveFileW bug?
by Roderick Colenbrander 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Hi, Today someone asked me to look at some Wine problems when running a gaming app called "Steam". Because I wasn't using the latest version of the app, the program tried to update itself. During the update process the main program (steam.exe) needs to be replaced by a new version. To do this the old program exits and another executable is being launched. The new process tries to backup the old steam.exe to wine's temp drive to restore it in case something goes wrong. Here the real problem appears. After "moving/renaming" the file the update tool gives an error stating that steam.exe still exists. After looking at the debug output I saw that to move the file the update tool is using MoveFileW. Normally nothing is wrong with this but according to MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/bas…) it can be used for about everything except for the following: "The MoveFile function will move (rename) either a file or a directory (including its children) either in the same directory or across directories. The one caveat is that the MoveFile function will fail on directory moves when the destination is on a different volume." The update tool is using something like this: MoveFileW(steam.exe, e:\\steam.exe) So it tries to move a file from c:\steam\steam.exe to e:\steam.exe which according to the MSDN docs is not possible. The same works fine on Win2k. After hacking MoveFileW to not check if the volumes are different it worked fine on Wine too. What shall we do? Shall we implement the same bugs Windows is doing or shall e listen to the docs at MSDN? (I'm sure some tests need to be made) Roderick Colenbrander

[Fwd: Re: GDI question]
by Mike Hearn 25 Feb '03

-----Forwarded Message----- From: James Chaldecott <james(a)swythan.co.uk> To: m.hearn(a)signal.dra.hmg.gb Subject: Re: GDI question Date: 25 Feb 2003 09:32:48 +0000 Mike, I'm a Win32 developer, and I take a look at WineHQ every so often and I noticed this thread. I don't know what Wine performance is like, but I thought you might be interested to know that some Windows graphics drivers (particularly Nvidia) are also very slow doing off-screen BitBlt operations under some circumstances. BitBlt'ing between two memory DC's seems to get very slow if the "acceleration level" is set to "Full" (the default) in the driver. I'm guessing they are, in fact, trying to overoptimize and they assume that at least one of the DC's is a real device (i.e. already in video memory), although I don't really know. We have the problem with our software and found the easy way to overcome it was to drop the driver acceleration factor a notch! I also spotted a bug in Mozilla's Bugzilla DB, and did some profiling for them. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170272 Anyway, I thought you might be interested. I suppose it means that lots of the BitBlt's being done *are* being accelerated by the hardware, and this is a corner case were performance degrades. James Chaldecott P.S. Feel free to post this to the list if it's interesting, but I don't subscribe, ATM. >Well, I just tried a simple comparison of the Adobe SVG plugin under >Wine and IE6 on Windows XP.
