winegcc and wrc
by Chris Seaton 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

I'm having problems with winegcc and wrc. Both were working great on my system but then I had to move to a different setup. wrc seems to work (it doesn't complain at all and produces an object file) but when I link the generated object file to all my program I get "Error: winewrap failed": ... winegcc -I../../library --debug -c -o obj/utilities.o utilities.c wrc -o obj/resources.o resources.rc winegcc -mwindows -o bin/cspassword.exe obj/*.o -L../../library/bin -lcspassword -lcomctl32 Error: winewrap failed. make: *** [bin/cspassword.exe] Error 2 I'm using the latest snapshot. As I said it was all working fine before I moved system. What could be causing this? Thanks, Chris Seaton

Crash running MS Word '97
by Dan Kegel 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Yesterday's CVS crashes when I run Word '97 with it, load a (largish) document, and quit. I guess Wine is passing back a null pointer and Word doesn't like it. Here's the stack: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000004 in 32-bit code (0x505be71e). Symbol hack_digit (0000:4007c890) is invalid In 32-bit mode. 0x505be71e (MSSP232.DLL.SpellCloseUdr+0x1b595 in MSSP232.DLL): movl 0x4(%esi),%ecx Wine-dbg>bt Backtrace: =>0 0x505be71e (MSSP232.DLL.SpellCloseUdr+0x1b595 in MSSP232.DLL) (ebp=4060dc94) 1 0x505b1db7 (MSSP232.DLL.SpellCloseUdr+0xec2e in MSSP232.DLL) (ebp=4060dcc4) 2 0x505a3ea8 (MSSP232.DLL.SpellCloseUdr+0xd1f in MSSP232.DLL) (ebp=40470002) 3 0x83c68900 (MSSP232.DLL..reloc+0x336a1900) (ebp=05bb11e8) *** Invalid address 0x05bb11e8 - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

Followup on Borland C++ 5.5
by Michael Pyne 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, If it helps, the patch that I was referred to a week or so ago regarding the linker for Borland C++ 5.5 hanging did work, after some modifications. It is attached to this message. Basically, I translated the VirtualAlloc() call into it's NtAllocateVirtualMemory() equivalent to solve the unresolved symbol errors, and just plain left out the check at the end of the function for the region size. Hope that's OK. Obviously this patch isn't suitable for inclusion into Wine proper since it seems to merely patch over a different problem. I've recompiled Wine with full debug information and such, and if someone knows what I should look for or do, I'd be more than willing to provide debug output to nail down the error. I've tracked down the infinite loop to NTDLL_wait_for_multiple_objects() in dlls/ntdll/sync.c. For some reason, whatever the program is waiting on doesn't ever seem to occur (unless, of course, the above patch is applied?!?). Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help close this bug permanently. :-) Regards, - Michael Pyne -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFASCZaqjQYp5Omm0oRAvWBAJ9M26Gct10rxLdPKJm5fHl3JPzDTQCgypIW NQ2wE4FNElbm5ohhuXvu7eA= =JcS+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Alexandre, Can you report on the status of the following patches. I havn't spotted them in CVS and they've been out there for almost 2 weeks now. Austerlitz patch #1 - play audio file with + in filename http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/02/0287.html Austerlitz patch #2 - Calculate the DIB size http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/02/0286.html The patches were tested and appear to solve bug #2011 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2011 Mike Kost mike at tashcorp dot net

WinCE application support for WINE and ReactOS
by Steven Edwards 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hello All, This is all very experimental. I am working on in the ReactOS tree and it might not even work for larger apps but I am happy with the results so far. I was thinking the other day that ReactOS and WINE/Linux might get a big boost if we can push support in the embedded enviroment so I started taking a look at WinCE and Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0 .BTW: Its a free download now. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1dacdb3d-50d1-41b2… I started looking at WinCE and thought it would be nice if we could be source compatible with WinCE apps and binary compatbile on x86. Well it seems that WinCE apps dont differ much from standard Win32 apps execpt the subsystem ID is differnt. If you attempt to run a WinCE application on Windows it will say that its not able to run. Ok no problem, we just run "editbin /subsystem:windows blah.exe" and check it out. Now the app is looking for coredll.dll. No problem there I have created a stub coredll.dll that just forwards all calls to the proper Win32 dlls such as user32, kernel32, etc..... .....and check it out. My little messagebox test works on Windows. Ok soon then I go and run the same test on ReactOS but this time I run a copy of messagebox without changing the subsystem ID...Hey what do you know. It works =). I talked with Alexandre about it a bit and he said that WINE like ReactOS also shouldnt care about the subsystem ID so if someone is interested in testing just drop the messagebox programs and coredll.dll in to a directory and give it a shot. I am having trouble getting more complex apps (hello world) to work atm so I think i am just going to take a break and clear my head for a few days. Some of the WinCE API and Win32 is not 100% compatible so we cant just forward all parts to the Win32 implementation but I think we can do it for most of it. If anyone is interested in helping out the source is in the ROS CVS tree and attached to this email...... binary.zip messagebox.exe - wince messagebox program msgbox.exe - wince messagebox program with subsystem id changed to Windows. wincehel.exe - Hello World WinCE app wincehelw.exe - Hello World WinCE app with subsystem id changed to Windows. coredll.dll - WinCE Win32 API commctl.dll - WInCE common controls API. source.zip coredll - dummy forwarder dll commctl - dummy stub dll for common controls Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Make icon extraction for 16 bit icons work
