A generic question...

Hi Dear friends, I have a generic fundamental question: What is WINE project's role in future Linux programming? Will WINE/WineLib be so powerful that it will be the mainstream of Linux programming? Or it will remain part of Linux programming culture, but not the main stream? Best regards, Richard

Broken pipe not detected
by Uwe Bonnes 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

Hallo Eric,Mike, Alexandre (and alll others), as described in http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/01/0486.html Altera quartus waits for some connected application by detecting a broken pipe (ReadFile() expects error, GetLastError is checked for ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE). Our present pipe implementation doesn't set this error beside for PeekNamedPipe. The application doesn't call PeekNamedPipe(). I sent some additional test for pipe to wine-patches. The last test with its todo_wine points out this behaviour. Confirmation of my findings by running the test on windows is appreciated.

I wonder why do you need to fix a keyboard layout if it really works then? -- Dmitry.

Not only is it conceptually nicer, but in my experience it also cleans up the code as well... -- Dimi.

Modifying font objects
by Chris Seaton 22 Feb '04

22 Feb '04

This is really a generic Windows progamming question, sorry... Is it possible to modify a font object's size? I want an N point version of the SYSTEM_FONT. I thought that perhaps I could get an instance of SYSTEM_FONT, and then set some attribute for the point size. That didn't seem to be possible so I thought that perhaps I could call CreateFont, using attributes from the other font object, just using my own size, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to get attributes like the char set from a font object. What can I do? Thanks, Chris Seaton

Re: DEVELOPERS-HINTS: add VxDs

The DHCP VxD is used, for example, by winipcfg.exe. You mentioned in your old, old post you know how to call VNBT; how much do you know? I implemented enough of io control code 116 to make winipcfg.exe happy, but I didn't tackle io control code 119. Know anything about it? --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

VMM Registry access removal and IE Setup.
by Matthew Davison 21 Feb '04

21 Feb '04

The IE6 installer in Windows 98 mode appears to use VXD calls to access the registry, and hence the patch removing this support from CVS causes IE6 setup to fail. (Also IE5 setup) -- Matthew Davison

MinGW cross compilation enviroment setup
by Michael Stefaniuc 20 Feb '04

20 Feb '04

Hello! Here are the steps needed to setup a MinGW on a Red Hat Linux like rpm based system (Fedora Core, Mandrake Linux, ... should probably work even on a SuSE Linux) * Download the mingw-binutils and mingw-gcc srpm's from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/ * Download the mingw-3.0-1.src.rpm srpm from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/noarch/SRPMS/ * Build the mingw and mingw-binutils rpm's (rpmbuild --rebuild $SRPM) and install them. * After the above step you can build the mingw-gcc rpm too. Install it. * That's almost everything: you need this patch for wine's configure to make it find your mingw binaries. * For instructions how to build the Wine tests for Windows see the Wine Documentation. You may want to try your local Red Hat mirror for the above srpm's. This info can be found also on http://people.redhat.com/mstefani/wine/ Hope this helps 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
