The problem probably that the default selection has unconfirmed unselected. The one bug that has winealsa as the first word in the summary is unconfirmed. When I look for winealsa in the comments for all status types I get 11 bugs listed. -- Tony lambregts

Progress on msvcp60.dll?
by Joel Konkle-Parker 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Is there any work at all on msvcp60.dll? I haven't seen much mention of it on the lists, and it's not listed on the dll status page. I've found at least one (and heard of more) that require this dll outright, though. Thoughts? -- Joel Konkle-Parker Webmaster [Ballsome.com] E-mail [jjk3(a)msstate.edu]

design problems with thread init code?
by Paul Davis 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

hello. i'm the main author of Ardour and JACK, projects those of you with audio/music leanings may be aware of. i'm in the middle of trying to add "native" windows/x86 VST plugin support to these systems, and i ran into some problems. #winehackers suggested to write this list. we are using a modified version of the Mono hack that allows use of winelib as a shared library. i got things working very well until i tried to use a VST plugin that appears to call RtlCreateUserThread. in tracking down why it wouldn't work, i discovered that server_init_thread() is called from the NT DLL for 2 reasons: 1) to initialize the first thread in a winelib-supported program 2) to initialize all later threads there appear to be some problems caused by this. server_init_thread() makes a rather basic assumption: the thread making the request is the target of the request. this is true for case (1) but not for case(2). in case (2), AFAICT, all (most?) instances of "current" need to be replaced by a struct thread* that points to the newly created (but not yet running) thread that is being initialized. it wouldn't suprise me if i have misunderstood things here, but i was able to fix the first problem i encountered (a complaint that the new thread was already running) by adding a kludgy hack based on my understanding. the next problem emerges because the new thread doesn't get its reply/wait fd's set up (instead, the operation is done on "current"). comments? thanks. --p

Yup, provided that there WILL be a suitable replacement tab in winecfg. So, any holy promises, anyone? ;-) Andreas Mohr

If I tell bugzilla to find bugs with winealsa in the summary it does not find any at all. However, there is at least one bug - 2035 - with winealsa as the first word even! I think bugzilla's broken!

Problem with installing ZooTycoon (demo version)
by pvriens＠xs4all.nl 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi, I've been trying to get the installation of ZooTycoon (demo downloadable from M$) to work. The installation stops at about 25% during the copying of files, right at the time a new background picture should be shown. I have some questions now (with some accompanying text): ZooTycoon creates a lot of windows that are all owned by the main thread (0x0009 in my case). Several messages are posted to several windows in several threads. Because the messages are send to a hwnd and all windows are owned by 0x0009, all messages end up in the message queue of the main thread. If a GetMessage or PeekMessage is done in the main thread everything is fine. When however a GetMessage or PeekMessage is done with a hwnd=0 (NULL) it all depends in which thread the Get or PeekMessage is done, if one (or more) message is retrieved. In my case all Get or PeekMessages done in all other threads but the main one (0x0009) end up with nothing (always PENDING status) It appears that on Windows the behaviour is different, in the ZooTycoon case, all GetMessages are done from the main thread (as seen by strace on Win2KProf). Maybe there is some logic that checks which thread own windows ? Can somebody confirm my findings for the WINE part ? And of course can somebody confirm my findings for the WINDOWS part ? It looks like I found the cause of my problem, now the fix ! If more info is needed, please let me know. cheers, Paul Vriens.

We have a cards.dll in the ReactOS tree that we wanted to merge with Winehq but the license of the bitmaps was GPL and not LGPL. Do you want to take a look at our implementation and see if there is anything you can use from it? http://cvs.reactos.com Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
