Re: FAQ: When will Wine integrate an x86 CPU emulator?

What you lose in performance, you gain in complexity inside of wine? Shouldn't that be simplicity? Random tangent: at some point somebody needs to write an "msinterop" program that simply looks at the environment, the type of EXE file and then invokes: 1) Wine 2) Mono 3) Wine in QEMU 4) Wine and Mono in QEMU 5) Offers to download and install these programs if need be. Especially as we'll start seeing more and more programs that are partly unmanaged and partly managed (.net) code floating about, it's going to be harder to figure out what programs you need in order to make the exe run.

Hi Martin, > thanks for your info. I just wanted to forward my problem I posted on > wine-users - I do not know if wine-devel is the right place for this, so wine-devel is the place for any development issues, including problems with Winelib. Since someone may have the same problem(s) in the future, I'm also sending this to wine-devel (it serves as an issues archive for common problems). >I am currently having trouble building the DLLs of an application ported >from Win32 to Winelib - compiling, thanks to some hints from Dimi O. >Paun, now works fine, only(?) the final link __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: PATCH - some build fixes for w32api headers
by Alexandre Julliard 21 Aug '03

21 Aug '03

Steven Edwards <steven_ed4153(a)yahoo.com> writes: > Changelog: Fixes for building with w32api headers on Mingw Why do you need to add stdarg.h everywhere? AFAICS it should be already included by the headers that require it. As a general note, it's a very good thing to test with other headers, but make sure that the problem is really on the Wine side before making changes. Being compatible with w32api is not a goal in itself for Wine, we have to be compatible with Microsoft; and if the Wine code works with the Microsoft headers but not with w32api then the bug is in w32api and should be fixed there. And in the case where the bug is really in Wine, this means there's an incompatibility in the Wine headers, since it builds fine with them and it shouldn't. So this means we have to fix the Wine headers too, not only the C files. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

XFree86 4.3.0 has no this, which however should not prevent the Euro sign to work. Moreover, XFree86 project tends to leave only two characters per keysym for all keyboard layouts, not to add new ones. -- Dmitry.

uClibc and wine
by Felipe Wilhelms Damasio 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Hi, I couldn't compile wine using the latest (0.9.20) version of uClibc. I installed the devel stuff and am using the /usr/i386-uClibc/gcc on my path, and then I get: gcc -c -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -gstabs+ -fPIC -D__WINESRC__ -DDLLDIR="\"/mnt/usr/lib/wine\"" -D_REENTRANT -o port.o port.c port.c:597: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `wchar_t' port.c:597: syntax error before '*' token port.c: In function `wine_rewrite_s4tos2': port.c:601: `str4' undeclared (first use in this function) port.c:601: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once port.c:601: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [port.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/felipewd/elipse/cvs/wine-20030115/library' make: *** [library] Error 2 If I change my path to use the default gcc location, it compiles fine. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Felipe

Re: FAQ: Will there be a Windows version of Wine?

Thanks Francois, I have been meaning to update some of the docs to answer these questions for a while. You put it much better and more to the point then I would have =).
