Re: Re: install default config files to $PREFIX/share/wine

Registering the dlls? Is this the same as loading them? How would we know which dll was responsible for creating which registry entries? Is it that clear which one should do it? Would the code called during registration check to see if the default keys existed and if it didn't install the default values? Would the inf file be mostly keys we've added for workarounds with apps like installshield installers? I'm asking because I'd really like to have wine create its own default config to simplify the users life and wineinstall, and I'd also like to simplify package managers lives so they don't need to many special scripts. I'm also interested in integrating the ~/.wine/config file into the registry. So feel free to suggest places to look, work and what direction to head.

Any experts on IsDialogMessage
by Bill Medland 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hi All Happy New Year to everyone and Welcome Back to Alexandre I am just about to start concentrating on IsDialogMessage, especially in the non-dialog context. Our program (suite) uses ActiveX controls extensively and is difficult to use because the TAB handling in particular is totally wrong. I will be using a trivial program with IsDialogMessage inserted into the main loop and will be trying to figure out the undocumented behaviour of this function (e.g. I am sure it internally handles redirecting to children etc.) The only comments I've noticed so far (about a year back) suggest that we really don't know much about this function, but I thought I'd ask if someone else has notes about what is wrong with it, how it should work, alternative web sites etc. or has uncommitted patches etc., just so that I don't duplicate work. All comments welcome -- Bill Medland

[Bug 1903] using dead_diaeresis i.e. e + ¨ hangs wine
by grant williamson 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hi, not sure if anyone else has experienced this. since patch http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?id=10332 was added to cvs (20031205), if I type a dead_diaeresis - "¨" followed by a letter, which would normally produce a "ë" or a "ü" it simply makes wine hang. removing this patch(I removed it on latest cvs) and the problem goes away, can someone find out why this causes an issue? -- grant williamson <traxtopel(a)fastmail.fm>

Windows dll replacement with Linux library
by Dan Timis 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hi, I wrote to the list a few weeks ago. I needed to support a USB device without changing the Windows dll that I have to use. I was trying to hack into wine to implement support for the USB device using CreateFile() and DeviceIoControl(). That was not a clean solution. The author of the Windows dll has agreed to support a mid level dll that would implement functions like USBDeviceOpen(), USBDeviceClose(), USBDeviceRead(), and USBDeviceWrite(). On Windows those would use CreateFile() and DeviceIoControl(), while on Linux they would use libusb calls. I followed the example from winelib user guide, chapter 5 "Using Linux libraries as DLLs" As an example I will talk just about USBDeviceOpen(). Here it is how it is declared together with a proxy function: HANDLE WINAPI USBDeviceOpen(const DWORD in_dwIndex); HANDLE WINAPI USBDeviceOpenProxy(const DWORD in_dwIndex); This function opens a specific device from a specific manufacturer. If more than one device connected In the spec file I put: 101 stdcall USBDeviceOpen (long) USBDeviceOpenProxy I used winemaker, configure, make, and make install. Now I have "USBUtils.dll.so in /

#5 - Re: #pre5 - comdlg32 MS_VC + PSDK porting

Its a good thing it was called pre5. After this one there are still a few minor things with one of the source files calling Heap_StrsupWtoA that needs to be moved inline and the NONAMELESS stuff. I have not done any work to address the NONAMELESSSTRUCT stuff except to just remove all cases of s1.u1 in ReactOS sources I ported. None of my patches to wine-patches reflect this change. If this is accepted I will send a patch in a few days to remove printdlg.h and to move a strdupW2A function inline in the offending source file. Once these changes are done and the NONAMELESS stuff is solved then comdlg32 will be mostly done of all Win16/32, PSDK and Wineism cleanups. I think there is a function or two left that I need to check the declairations of like I have been with NetAPI32 and Setupapi. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Is there already a function for this?
by Bill Medland 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

Does anyone know if we already have a function that measures the true length of a window's text in the following way l = SendMessage (hwnd, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH,..) presumably allocate a buffer SendMessage (hwnd, WM_GETTEXT, 2(l+1)..) Then actually measure the retrieved text. -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

Using winebuild explicitly

You need to have /usr/local/lib (where > the libwine library is) in your /etc/ld.so.conf: I tried this today, (adding /local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf) but it didn't make a difference. I then looked into winegcc.c and winewrap.c to find out what winwgcc is actually doing. It is creating a shared library (dll) and a little wrapper executable to load the shared library. This should not be necessary with the code in question and I would rather like to build just one executable. So I wrote a Makefile that does this (not using winegcc & co) by calling winebuild explicitly (see below). It seems to work, but when I start the executable by wine phaeaco.exe.so I see the application's windows appearing and immediately disappearing and get the following error messages: err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 0x20030 belongs to other process err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 0x20030 belongs to other process I wonder whether this error has to do with the way I built the executable. The Makefile is as follows: ------ Makefile ------------------------------------------ INCLUDE_PATH = /local/include/wine LIBRARY_PATH = /local/lib # This should be replaced by wildcard expression as soon as all # sources actually participate in the built.

I don't think we want that. Future changes are supposed to get rid of the need for a config file, so we don't want to give the impression that external apps can depend on finding a sample config file. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: How can I run a program compiled with winelib when wine has b een uninstalled.

Why would you try to do that anyhow? I'm guessing it's because he wants to distribute the Winelib app. The folks installing probably won't have Wine on the system. Which brings up a good point, is there an easy way to distribute one? What comes to mind would be some way to adapt the Wine binary distributions (RPM's, .tgz's) to also install an application at the same time. --------------- Brian Vincent Copper Mountain Telecom vincentb(a)coppercolorado.com
