Well, the least we should do is have the URL point to WineHQ and then use a forward page to his URL IMHO. Hosting it on WineHQ would probably be the best way indeed. Andreas Mohr

By placing the test before everything else you are at least skipping the tests performed in the hook procedure. -- Dmitry.

I always think of Nope, there's no plans. Are you volunteering? It would be great if you could do it. Rather than just provide links, I think it would be nice to put together short summaries and short interviews about it. In other words, create original content rather than regurgitate an article. -Brian Vincent

signaling unix threads
by Markus Amsler 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi, There's a fundamental bug in winedos/dosvm. c[1]. SIGUSR2 is sent to the current process, but it should be sent to the dosvm thread. This causes various ugly bugs. I found no way signaling a unix thread, without modifing the wineserver. I have implemented a thread_kill command in the wineserver, this solves my problem, but i'm quite sure it won't get applied. I'm really not a wineserver/threading expert. Have I missed something? Markus

Re: [Wine]How to help improving Wine?
by Walt Ogburn 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi Emanuele, After poking around a bit, there seems to be a logical problem in Wine's GDI code. From the backtrace, SelectObject on this object calls BRUSH_SelectObject, which uses a bitmap and eventually GetDIBits, which tries to CreateCompatibleDC (or sometimes DeleteDC instead). However, SelectObject always calls GDI_GetObjPtr, which calls _EnterSysLevel and not _LeaveSysLevel. But the CreateCompatibleDC complains and dies if you have had an _EnterSysLevel and not a _LeaveSysLevel. It might be that BRUSH_SelectObject really should use a different set of "internal" functions that won't complain about locking. Or maybe DeleteDC and CreateCompatibleDC should just increment the recursion level instead of erroring out. I don't know, so I'm forwarding to wine-devel for greater insight. - Walter Here's a summary of the relevant part of my backtrace again: 1 _CheckNotSysLevel (complains!) 2 GDI_CheckNotLock 3 DeleteDC 4 GetDIBits 5 MFDRV_CreateBrushIndirect 6 MFDRV_SelectBrush 7 BRUSH_SelectObject 8 SelectObject - calls GDI_GetObjPtr, which does _EnterSysLevel.

Success Stories?
by M-Halo 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi all, Are there any plans to spotlight Wine-use success stories on the WineHQ home page? I always think of how Disney used Wine to run Photoshop 7 so they could move to a Linux platform. I'm sure it could draw additional attention/ support and provide additional credibility to non-Wine users. I know this article is a year old, but I think it's the type of thing that should be shown to the world: :) http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1210083,00.asp Hiji __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Windows XP Setup

> How much effort would it take to get setup.exe on windows XP CD to run > from begining to end. I guess the setup wants direct hardware access. Also, it probably reboots, and after reboot you'll be running on the windows kernel anyway. I don't think this is really possible.

rsaenh
by Michael Jung 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hello, this is an updated version of my rsaenh.dll patch from yesterday with Juan's suggestions implemented: 1.) Changed destruct_... function names to destroy_... . 2.) Removed the multiple-of-four behaviour for handles. 3.) Got rid of the splitting of handle management functions into one table locking function and one function, which actually does the real work. 4.) MD4, MD5 and SHA hashes as well as random number generation will work now even if rsaenh was compiled with libssl-dev headers available, but no libcrypto.so at run-time. 5.) Compilation fixes for the case that OpenSSL was configured to support only a subset of the functions imported by rsaenh.dll. 6.) Uses /dev/urandom instead of OpenSSL's RAND_bytes function. (Do we have to check for the availability of /dev/urandom in the configure script?) If you want to try the patch note the following: - After you have applied the patch you have to run autoheader and autoconf. Then cd dlls ; make_dlls ; cd .. ; configure. - After you have compiled and installed wine, you have to unregister rsabase and register rsaenh (regsvr32 /U rsabase ; regsvr32 rsaenh). rsaenh.dll is meant to replace rsabase.dll sometime (Windows XP also has rsaenh.dll only). Greetings, Michael

Hello Devel List! I am sorry to bother you. But i cant seem to solve my wine/java issue in the users mailing list. I have already asked in the users list, but nobody seems to know an answer. http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2004/10/0344.html I have already tried to install JRE with the latest wine snapshot, and with a debian package. This is the error i get, where wine cant seem to be able to handle the memory request: Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin jre-1_5_0-windows-i586.exe ... fixme:msi:MsiGetProductInfoA "{3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150000}" "PackageCode" 0x4067dbbc 0x4067dc2c fixme:msi:MsiGetProductInfoW L"{3248F0A8-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150000}" L"PackageCode" 0x4037f728 0x4067dc2c err:msi:MsiGetSummaryInformationW IStorage -> IPropertySetStorage failed Wine failed with return code 133 Any idea how i could solve this?
