winegcc and winemaker- a few minor bugs
by Steven Edwards 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hola, I noticed two minor bugs when porting some sample DirectX code. 1. MSVC and Borland both allow for WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int) where under winegcc you will get the following error: "winmain.cpp:187: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `WinMain' with no type". If you change it to: int APIENTRY WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int) Then it will compile fine. So should we work around the incorrectness of code allowed for by other compilers? Or document the changes that you will run in to porting C++ from other compilers? 2. Winemaker does not import all of the import libs from the MS_VC makefile. When building my projects it does not link to ddraw even though the MS_VC makefile has ddraw.lib in it. So I will get the following warning on linking: winmain.o(.text+0xd5): In function `DoModeEnumeration(HWND__*)': : warning: undefined reference to `DirectDrawCreateEx' It needs to be a error rather than a warrning. When you try and run the program of course you get the following: [steven(a)steven enummode]# wine enummode.exe.so wine: could not load L"Z:\\mnt\\src\\tmp\\MSVC\\Chapters 11-15 (DirectDraw_ requires DirectX 7 or 8)\\enummode\\enummode.exe.so": /steven/.wine/dosdevices/z:/mnt/src/tmp/MSVC/Chapters 11-15 (DirectDraw_ requires DirectX 7 or 8)/enummode/enummode.exe.so: undefined symbol: DirectDrawCreateEx So of course adding ddraw to the imports in the Makefile fixes it. Other then these two bugs, (one of which is the other compilers fault for allowing bad code) I have had no problems with anything I have thrown at winemaker and winegcc. Nice work Dimi and Francois!

Game Testing Update - 20040615
by Mike Kost 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Here a continuation of my game testing efforts. Same rules still apply in my efforts: All games tested are freely available as demos or F/OSS games on the Internet and they don't work right. Since my last report: - No bugs have closed - 2 more bugs filed - - #2299: Static in Dominions II Demo Audio - - #2300: Galactic Civilizations demo dies with unhandled exception - Finally started testing Galactic Civilizations Galactic Civilization Summary ----------------------------- Galactic Civilization is a bit grumpy and requires both a DCOM9x and an IE install to work correctly. It installed, but died with an unhandled exception when the game was started. Filed bug #2300 http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/GalCiv/galciv-20040615.html Austerlitz Summary ------------------ There were no noticable changes over 20040505 testing. http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/Austerlitz/austerlitz-20040615.html Dominions II ------------ There were no changes over 20040505, but I turned on the speakers and noticed that there was static in the audio at the startup screen. This was filed as bug #2299. http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/DominionsII/dominionsII-20040615.html Remote Assault -------------- There were no noticable changes over 20040505 testing. http://www.tashcorp.net/Wine/RemoteAssault/remoteassault-20040615.html

Donations - RFC
by Jeremy White 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi Everyone, Say, I've gotten in a few fairly generous donations lately, and so the Wine fund has a bit of money (around $800, afair). Now, the bulk of that is marked for embezzlement <g>, but it does leave a bit left over that could go to help Wine. The question is: how could that money be spent effectively? I have several thoughts on this, but would like to open it up for discussion. My suggestions are: * Buy software for proven Wine hackers If Wine hackers are lacking for licensed software, I could buy + ship it to them. My financially prudent side suggests that games would be a great way to do that, because we can buy a lot of games for $800, and only 1 copy of MS Office for the same price... :-/ The trouble with this idea is that the few times I've tried to offer software to Lionel and others they tell me that they have all they need. * Sponsor Wineconf 2005 We spent about $1500 of the Wine fund sponsoring some folks to travel to Wineconf this year. We could similarly use the funds for the next Wineconf. That suggests saving it for this purpose would be prudent. Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Cheers, Jeremy

Re: [USER] 'Fix' SetWindowsHookEx

This doesn't look right, it doesn't make sense to create a system-wide hook without an instance, since in that case there is no way to call the function in other processes. This requires more investigation to find out exactly what Windows does in this case. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Device drivers in Wine
by Damjan Jovanovic 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hi Basically, I have a Windows user-space device driver, and I need to get it working under Linux. I note Wine has some "device" functions (FILE_CreateDevice(), and DOSFS_OpenDevice()). How do these work and what do they do? Are they documented anywhere? And is there a way to open and use a Windows DLL from a Linux program? Thanks Damjan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

winemaker problems for creating winelib DLL projects
by Shachar Shemesh 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hi all, I'm trying to create a winelib DLL project from scratch. You can reproduce using the following steps: create a file called "name.c", put the following content in it: int func( int a ) { return a+1; } Create a file called "name.spec". Put the following content in it: @ cdecl func( long ) In this directory, run "winemaker --dll ." Run "make". I would expect, at this stage, to get a file called "name.dll.so". Instead, I get a file called "name.dll.exe.so", with which I cannot link other applications, even if I try to rename it to "name.dll.so". Am I doing something wrong here?
