To run in wine directory run tools/trans.sh and it creates tools/trans_html/index.html This is a modified version of the original patch that Vincent Beron send in January.

Maybe Con can help us out here? Alexandre says he > doesn't know what the issue is either and somebody needs to investigate. I > guess we do need to concern ourselves over the details :) Interesting. Probably the most valuable information is that it seems to work fine if we artificially limit the threads to exactly the same timeslice _or_ we put them at such a low priority that they are forced to be guaranteed to round robin one task at a time. This is the way 2.4 used to work which is why with the new 2.6 schedulers which do far more out-of-order rescheduling some applications have a problem; particularly under load. I suspect it's actually the latter issue. Locking between threads should prevent that being a problem, though. You already mentioned that you dont use sched_yield() and I couldn't even begin to look at the wine code myself so perhaps you know something more. The other (useful?) bit of information is that one person solved his issue with this: >I had a similar problem with Cedega. I fixed it by editing the >Cedega/WineX config file and specifying that I wanted to use ALSA >instead of WineOSS, then disable mmap for ALSA. I'm not sure if that fixes all the problems but perhaps that helps. I'm interested in getting this resolved so please keep me informed. Cheers, Con P.S. Sorry I had trouble posting to your newsgroup.

Compile on AMD Opetron
by chall＠bcrl.stcloudstate.edu 21 Aug '04

I tried to compile wine-2004813 on a AMD Opetron this is what I found. ./configure No Problems found. make depend No Problems found. make **FAILS** chuck(a)sniper wine-20040813 $ make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chuck/src/wine/wine-20040813/libs' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/chuck/src/wine/wine-20040813/libs/port' gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -D__WINESRC__ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -gstabs+ -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o interlocked.o interlocked.c interlocked.c:248:3: #error You must implement the interlocked* functions for your CPU make[2]: *** [interlocked.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/chuck/src/wine/wine-20040813/libs/port' make[1]: *** [port] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chuck/src/wine/wine-20040813/libs' make: *** [libs] Error 2 chuck(a)sniper wine-20040813 $ After looking at the file libs/port/interlocked.c I noticed that there are special instructions for the UltraSPARC proc. Since I do not read or know asm, I looked at the #include for for Solaris (/usr/include/synch.h). pulled from solaris 9 on sparc. (/usr/include/synch.h) /* * synch.h: * definitions needed to use the thread synchronization interface */ I then looked through a number of other include files and noticed that all this seems to be is a control for threads. Under linux on the AMD Opetron could you not use the pthreads.h #include file? If you need access to a AMD Opetron box I can setup remote access (via SSH) so you can test the code, or I can try the patches (if any) sent. Have Fun! Chuck Hall

Suggestion for wine-user
by Geoffrey Leach 20 Aug '04

20 Aug '04

Perhaps some "worked examples"? It would be helpful to be able to have a set of examples that would illustrate the basic features of Wine. For example: o A "Hello World" .exe that used only the .dll files in the dist. o A script that executed a Windoze app that required only minimal configuration -- for example, just the mount point used for C: o A script that executed a (local) .exe that had its own (local) .dll files (both on the Unix side) Kudos to whoever put together the rpm. Regards.

Document an API difference
by Shachar Shemesh 20 Aug '04

20 Aug '04

Hi list, I'm documenting a probable API result difference between Wine and Windows. At the moment, this is no longer a problem as far as I'm concerned, so there is no point for me to write regression tests and fix it, but this may be stopping someone else. It seems that if you call "select" with a FD set that holds the same file descriptor more than once, Wine's and Window's responses are different. Under windows, you get a statement saying that only one FD is active. Under Wine, you get as many as the number of times the repeating FD is in the set. Like I said, this does not affect, as far as I know, any program, so I'm not sure we need to fix it. I just wanted the list's archive to have a mention of this issue.

If you don't want a real breakpoint you could define a custom exception to tell winedbg to just dump the backtrace and continue. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: Optimization for FindFile* (resend)

I'm afraid this doesn't work, you need to take the file position in the directory into account, and also update it properly (which will probably defeat the optimization). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
