Wine dependancies
by Mike Hearn 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Just as a quick continuation from Dans mail, I thought I'd find out what libs Wine actually required, at least on my build. Running: ( for f in *.so; do ldd $f | sed 's/ =>.*//'; done ) | sort | uniq in the $prefix/lib/wine/ directory produced the following list: libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 libgcc_s.so.1 libGLcore.so.1 libGL.so.1 libGLU.so.1 libICE.so.6 libjpeg.so.62 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libm.so.6 libncurses.so.5 libntdll.dll.so libSM.so.6 libstdc++.so.5 libungif.so.4 libwine.so libwine_unicode.so libX11.so.6 libXext.so.6 The inclusion of libgcc_s and libstdc++ is from the Direct3D code I think, I didn't realise there were deps on the c++ libs. Otherwise, it's a remarkably short list. I think maybe quite a few of the libs are detected at runtime, I know there was a patch to make OpenGL code detected like this (as opposed to enabled at compile time) - despite having a driver for the Jack sound server in this directory for instance, there is no dependancy on libjack. The other libs are fairly standard and would be present on almost all installations. A few, like the C++ libs and ncurses aren't a part of the LSB and at present would need to be statically linked. -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Wine and Smatch
by Michael Stefaniuc 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hello, I've written a web page about Wine and Smatch: http://people.redhat.com/mstefani/wine/smatch/ It includes also a table with the bugs found by the smatch scripts. I could need a hand with the bugs (status BUG, UKNOWN) cause I don't know how to fix them correctly (and for some locking BUG's i am not sure that they are real bugs). Now that the fight with the web page is over I can go to write more smatch scripts ;). bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart

Relay trace indenting?
by Duane Clark 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Just wondering if anyone has written a script or something that does indenting of relay traces. I don't know how other people handle these, but I find that I invariably spend a lot of time indenting the calls in relay trace files to make them easier to follow. It would seem like something that someone would already have an automated method of handling (or maybe I'm the only one that does this).

Bug in WineDbg
by Gerhard W. Gruber 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Wine-dbg> wine_dbg_cmd: Exception c000013a fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed In the above example I pressed CTRL-C on the commandline from Winedbg. The exception message is shown and a dbg xterm window has been opened. After exiting from gdb winedbg exits. Is this a bug? I suppose so. :) -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

WineLib Application
by Oleg Lyamtsev 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi ALL, I've made WineLib applicatiion with COM support. The first problem is: when I try to call Release() method for interfaces, I have unhandled exception. But I have to clean memory by myself! It seems to me that WineLib Releases all interfaces before me. The second problem: How can I package my application to install it on another computer? Can I avoid Wine installation on that computer? Thanks, Oleg Lyamtsev.

x11drv, ntdll separation
by David Fraser 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi I was wanting to do some work on x11drv dll separation. The last remaining dll separation between x11drv and ntdll is VIRTUAL_SetFaultHandler. This is called from X11DRV_DIB_CreateDIBSection, where it tries to set the fault handler to X11DRV_DIB_FaultHandler, with addr=dm.dmBits and arg=res. From reading the code it seems that this is done because it is not known whether the calling app requires read or write access to the data in bmp. If the app then tries to read or write and doesn't have the appropriate access, this will generate an exception which will then raise the X11DRV_DIB_FaultHandler which would then set the appropriate access, in a way that ensures data gets handled correctly. I presume I'm misunderstanding this, because looking at MSDN for CreateDIBSection, it says: The CreateDIBSection function creates a device-independent bitmap (DIB) that applications can write to directly. and further down... Windows NT: You need to guarantee that the GDI subsystem has completed any drawing to a bitmap created by CreateDIBSection before you draw to the bitmap yourself. Access to the bitmap must be synchronized. Do this by calling the GdiFlush function. So it would seem apps could always be given read-write access to this bitmap. Why is the special fault handler needed? What is the best way to approach getting rid of it? David

I was also intending to update the Winelib guide based on the new winegcc/winewrap utilities I've been working on, but it will take me a while because there's some work on those that I need to do first, and it seems my complete lack of time has slowed me down quite a bit :) -- Dimi.

Wine 0.9 config applets?
by Mike Hearn 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

> -- We are approaching 0.9 (hopefully). That reminds me, on the Wine 0.9 TODO it says "expect a preview of the wine config applets in the second week of 2003". Anybody know what the status of these are? I think it makes sense to start pro-actively targetting 0.9 tasks, and having control panel applets for Wine seems like a good idea. Hmmm, do we even have a control panel? Presumably programs can install control applets (capplets in gnome-speak), but I don't see any way to see them other than executing the cpl files manually. -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

how to continue to have a separate window with this patch applied ? this break some functions in wcmd. - cls isnt working anymore - some programs have keyboard entry used only after hitting enter. try debug.com from freedos or worse, wcmd itself. - debug messages are displayed in the same window > > Trying to run this kind of program didnt work outside of the > console, > > if I remember correct. > it's likely not to work, since nothing has changed in this area > A+ > -- > Eric Pouech > ===== 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.
