If so I think a comment, at the very least, is in order. Huw. -- Huw Davies huw(a)codeweavers.com

While I agree this may be not an easy thing to do without looking at the whole code very throughly I think saying that it doesn't help at all because on Linux you will never get this problem is a little shortsighted. Wine doesn't only compile for Linux and there might be other systems with a very straightforward swapping system which will run out of memory before the disk dies from overactivity. Also who says that the next version of Linux or some sort of stress test extension, a security hardened kernel, or a memory quota system on user basis or whatever, will not add an easy to get into out of memory situation. Couldn't Solaris for instance limit the memory available to users on a user base eventhough there are loads and loads of physical memory still available? Rolf Kalbermatter

I don't believe they have been applied yet. There was one rejection, so I hacked it back in where I could see it. I could have done it wrong, as I only have a crash when loading Pirates -- it follows. So maybe you ought to take a look at rediffing your patch. Thanks for your help, and I'll keep at testing.

Re: [Resend] wineloader: call wineprefixcreate with explicit WINEPREFIX

You used to have to call > wineprefixcreate yourself, with correct parameters. Actually this is a feature ;-) The rationale is that if you make a typo in your WINEPREFIX it's better to get an error message than to silently create a new hierarchy and having things fail in mysterious ways. So you have to run wineprefixcreate to confirm that you really meant to use a non-existent WINEPREFIX. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Wine Knowledge Base
by Mike Hearn 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi, I was going to wait a while (until it had a bit more content) before announcing this here, but as it seems people are setting up Wikis etc already here is my 2 cents: http://navi.cx/svn/misc/trunk/winekb/index.xml ** THIS IS NOT A WIKI ** Instead, it's a mini website that uses a simple dialect of XML suitable for embedding code and random text into. It's designed to be: - Easy to improve - Visually appealing - Controlled What do I mean by these things? Firstly, easy to improve: if you want to add some content to a page, save or wget the file to disk, edit it in your favourite text editor, and then send me the diff (or the full file and I'll diff it for you). You don't need any web design skill, as you can see if you do a "View Source" in the page. Secondly, visually appealing: I dislike the way Wikis look most of the time. XSL:T is a nice language for doing tree transformations so I used it. The page code looks like this: <kbpage title="Index"> <section title="Users"> * Installing <l>NativeMSI</l> and <l>NativeDCOM</l> * The <l>ConfigFile</l> * <a href="http://bylands.dur.ac.uk/~mh/wine-faq.html">#winehq channel faq</a> - read this when you have an issue </section> <section title="Developers"> * <l>AddingStuff</l> to this site * <l>InterestingPatches</l> * <l>WinelibAsBinaries</l> </section> </kbpage> See? It's easy. Yet the resulting pages looks quite nice IMHO and are uniform in style. There's a new page template here: http://navi.cx/svn/misc/trunk/winekb/template.xml Thirdly, controlled: one of the objections Newman always had to a Wiki was that it'd fill up with crap or become another appdb, and then he'd have to maintain it. You can contribute to the knowledge base by sending patches to me or to wine-devel (if you think others would find the text useful), same as any other project. I won't be adding anything there that duplicates the appdb except maybe for extremely popular programs and libraries like MSI and DCOM. You can hack on it in other ways: the code for the site is managed using Subversion/SVK, so you can check out a copy of it like so: $ svn co http://navi.cx/svn/misc/trunk/winekb If you want to do a lot of work on it, use SVK which will let you branch changes and commit locally so you can keep your patches separated nicely. Right now there isn't much content. There's some stuff for users, like how to set up a basic config file, how to install native DCOM etc, and there is stuff for developers like a list of interesting-yet-bounced patches and some notes on the "Winelib programs as binaries" work me and Vincent did. It's designed for content that doesn't really fit the main WineHQ website. If I think something makes more sense in the developer guide I'll ask you to send the content there. In other words, the KB is designed to be half-way between the structured and professional WineHQ website and a Wiki. Hope that helps! thanks -mike

Hello, as Jeremy Newman wanted mirrors for dcom95, here's a new link http://www003.portalis.it/115/download/dcom95.zip Note that because of the Microsoft licencing conditions, you are licenced to download this file only if you are going to use it with wine. Ivan.

Simple web based presentation system useful for WineConf
by Mike Hearn 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi, With the spring comes WineConf 2005, and perhaps some interesting presentations by people. Last time I went to WineConf I was asked to write a mini presentation to show newbies what Wine hacking was all about. In the end, there weren't many non-Wine developers there (which is what you'd expect, really) so we just had a discussion about how to reduce the learning curve instead. In retrospect that was far more interesting and useful than any presentation I could have done. Nonetheless, that presentation was there and when I wrote it, I also wrote a little XSL transform for slide shows. That's because I don't like PowerPoint that much, especially I don't like how sucky its web export is and slideshows are good to put on the web. So here is the presentation itself: http://bylands.dur.ac.uk/~mh/wineconf2004/presentation.xml Just load it into a web browser like Mozilla or even IE6 (konq doesn't support xslt, sorry). As you can see it's nicely Wine themed :) Here is the transform if you want to use the same presentation system yourself: http://navi.cx/~mike/xslt-slides/gen.xsl Just look at the source code of presentation.xml to see how to use it. I'm hoping we'll have a similar mix for this years Wineconf as last year - Lionels OpenGL/games presentation in particular was interesting, but I think the mix of discussion and presentations was good. One problem with presentations is that they tend to be in quite specialist areas, eg a DCOM presentation wouldn't be all that useful because there aren't many people working on it. So I think a bias more towards discussion of process and project organisation, things like that, would be more useful. That's just my humble opinion of course ;) thanks -mike

Nagging on Wineconf
by Jeremy White 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi all, Okay, we've got 19 rsvp's for Wineconf. And that's missing me and a lot of other people that I know will be there, so shame on me and shame on you. So get over to www.winehq.org/wineconf and rsvp (including fellow folks from CodeWeavers; if you're reading this, you better plan on being there <grin>). In all seriousness, we really need an accurate head count so we can plan properly; if there really only will be 25-30 people, that makes things a good bit different than 75 people. While you're there, join the wine-conf mailing list; I think that's the most appropriate place for us to start the discussions of the agenda and to start fine tuning the details. So if you don't subscribe to wine-conf, but you're planning to go, you're going to start missing out on everything but the nag messages <grin>. Cheers, Jer
