But the best use of your time (and the most efficient) would be to: 1. Fix any problems in your apps (like reliance on strange Windows corner cases, use of very obscure features) 2. Help out fix Wine so that your apps run properly. This will not only help us a lot, but it will help you make good use of your time, and it will allow you to do cross platform development (even for Windows) from your Linux box. Please direct questions to wine-devel(a)winehq.org, where people can help you out. -- Dimi.

W95INF32 implementation, incase it's useful to anybody
by Mike McCormack 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hi All, In the process of understanding another bug, I did a little work to implement w95inf32, which appears to be a small IE/win9x only DLL and which is probably of not much use to Wine. It appears to be a think wrapper 32bit around 4 functions in SETUPX. So this is just for documentation purposes, and incase anybody is curious or finds a real need for this DLL.

When saving a file with staroffice it is not saving with extension.
by Ravi Kumar 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hello Sir, I am working with wine for some time now. I faced with a problem, whenever i am saving a file from Windows version of Staroffice from wine it is saved without extension. I think it is a problem with wine, as staroffice in windows stores files with extensions. I am using wine-20031118 version. Can anybody help me out in this regard. I will also check out to see if it has been solved in later versions. Thanking in advance. regards, ravi.

Development CDs for Windows
by Steven Pignataro 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

I have a large amount of Windows Development CDs....i am wondering if these would be of any interest to the Development team of Wine.... I think that these would become very usefull at developing for Wine as well as alot of what Windows does is still most of the same. They are Windows NT 4 development kits and much much more. We where going to chuck them at my school...but salaviged them Please let me know Thanks -- Steven Pignataro A+ Partner/ CSO Computer Vision Networks, Inc.

Gnome users typically do not prefer KDE or Qt, and part of that stems from that KDE was developed using Qt and it's integration is woven throughout. > you will not be using the native toolkits > in Windows, you have to pay a lot of licensing fees, etc. You only pay licensing if your Qt app is commercial. The free version is perfect for opensource (ie GPL software) hence why it's included in almost all linux distros and you can D/L the same version for winders. Maybe > wxWindows is a better option... It requires too many code changes (at least in Python) for easy cross-compiling. In Qt you simply generate a .pro file for the platform. Shaun > > -- > Dimi. > > > > >

Re: GDI: Merge the enhmfdrv into one .c file.
by Mike McCormack 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

I object! Being one of the people who sometimes works on EMFs, I don't like this change. A flat namespace in my mind meants that we have one dll's code in each subdirectory in wine/dlls, not that there's no other subdirectories under those. It's a bad precedent to set that each dll can have no further subdirectries. I don't think this change is necessary, and it's going to make the EMF code harder to manage, since the file you've created is very big. Ditto for the MF change. Mike Dimitrie O. Paun wrote: > Merge the entire enhmfdrv into one .c file. > It's not big, and it's the way we usually do > things in wine (e.g. dlls/comctl32/*.c). > Moreover, we get rid of the extra dir in > dlls/gdi/, and gets us closer to a flat > dlls/*/ namespace.

At work we write A LOT of 3D graphics code that has requirements to run on winders/linux/macintosh. Qt has definitely proved the way to go (5 years now) with only minor changes required and then it worked on ALL platforms. Java and Python were too slow and required too many code changes for each platform, whereas Qt worked with our existing C/C++ code nicely. BTW, a real good book that's out now is "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3" by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark Summerfield. It starts very basic from Hello World. It's worth the $30. I'd have to say, so far from what I've seen Wine still has a long way to go before it's ready for production, and reliable use... it's getting there but just not there yet. It's great for porting apps, but too poorly documented for actual development. I mean this forum is about it and you're lucky if you can get answers. But thanks to all the helpful people here, maybe it will grow. Shaun On Thu, 1 Apr 2004 17:39:14 -0500 (EST), "Dimitrie O.

abnt2 delete keys problem
by Rafael Ávila de Espíndola 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

I am having the following problem with a abnt2 (Brazilian) keyboard: When the numlock is off both delete keys work correctly. If the numlock is on both key produce a delete plus a comma. The message http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/12/0329.html appears to describe the same problem. But the proposed patch didn't work for me. Attached is a xev log. The numlock is initially on. Them the I press the middle keyboard delete, keypad delete, numlock, middle keyboard delete and keypad delete. Thanks for any help. Rafael Ávila de Espíndola

MFC app compile problems with AFX
by greensh＠knology.net 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Since I was told the winlib docs are out of date, I'll try posting this problem. winemaker --interactive seems to have worked and converted the 'winders' source .cpp and .h files and made the backups fine. It only created one file; Makefile When I type 'make' it produced a bunch of afx errors needing only five afx*. h files, so I copied these over from the VS6 directory, ran 'make clean', but hen it needed a ton more, so I copied them all afx*.h and afx*.inl. Then 'make' gets all the way down to the first errors; /usr/local/include/wine/windows/rpcndr.h:383: error: non-local function ` <anonymous struct>* NDRSContextUnmarshall2(void*, void*, long unsigned int, void*, long unsigned int)' uses anonymous type In file included from afxdtctl.h:19, from StdAfx.h:18, from ArbreNiv.cpp:2: afxdisp.h:75: warning: malformed '#pragma pack(push[, id], <n>)' - ignored afxdisp.h:1182: error: friend declaration requires class-key, i.e. `friend struct COleDateTimeSpan' afxdisp.h:1259: error: friend declaration requires class-key, i.e. `friend class COleDateTime' afxdisp.h:1408: warning: #pragma pack (pop) encountered without matching #pragma pack (push, <n>) In file included from afxdisp.h:1413, from afxdtctl.h:19, from StdAfx.h:18, from ArbreNiv.cpp:2: afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(const CHAR*)': afxole.inl:97: error: `vt' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl:97: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(unsigned char)': afxole.inl:101: error: `bVal' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(const COleCurrency&)': afxole.inl:103: error: `cyVal' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(float)': afxole.inl:105: error: `fltVal' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(double)': afxole.inl:107: error: `dblVal' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl: In constructor `COleVariant::COleVariant(const COleDateTime&)': afxole.inl:109: error: `date' undeclared (first use this function) afxole.inl: In member function `DWORD COleSafeArray::GetDim()': afxole.inl:283: error: `parray' undeclared (first use this function) Can anyone help? Any ideas for me to try? I can run the winders executable with wine, but it's very buggy and will crash easily, so I wanted to use winelib. Shaun
