ActiveX controls in MSHTML?
by Dan Kegel 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

A systems integrator mentioned that many commercial ERP applications use ActiveX terminal emulator controls embedded in web pages. (I think http://www.zephyrcorp.com/terminal-emulator-activex-document.htm is an example of such an ActiveX control.) Presumably these will run in IE on Wine, but will they run in the new MSHTML browser that's part of Wine? (Sorry if my terminology is a bit off - I haven't played with mshtml ever.)

wine / Linux kernel interaction
by Damjan Jovanovic 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I am working on STI for wine, and there is an issue I want to ask about. At present, I changed CreateFile() to open /dev/USBSCAN... on a "\\.\USBSCAN..." device, where /dev/USBSCAN... comes from a Linux kernel module that does the equivalent of Window's USBSCAN.SYS. And NtDeviceIoControl() checks whether the i/o control code is 0x8000.... (USB scanner ioctl) and if so, calls ioctl(). It all works (but most is hardcoded for my scanner at the moment). But, the kernel module needs to know whether a newly added USB device is a scanner or not, which requires access to the wine registry / SetupAPI. One option is to make some user-space utility that the module can query for this info. The other way it could be done is to give wine the ability to load the kernel module when wine starts, and pass it a list of parameters which are the scanners it should drive. And the third way is to use a private ioctl or the proc filesystem so wine gives a running instance of the module the list of scanners, when wine itself starts running. And how would the kernel module tell wine / STI a new scanner has arrived? Finally, could this kernel module be distributed with wine? Its acceptance into the Linux kernel tree is doubtful. Thank you Damjan P.S. Is anyone working on kernel handles for wine? __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Linking wine *dll.so libraries with Linux applications ?!
by Alexander Efremov 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hello, is it possible to link Win32 Wine libraries (*.dll.so) with a Linux application. Suppose we have a simple Linux gcc program main.cc #include <vfw.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { AVIFileInit(); } which utilizes Win32 library features. When I try to compile it and link I do not have any problems: g++ -Wall -g main.cc -lavifil32 -o main But when I execute it I get a segmentation fault. Is there any way to avoid it ? May be I have to link other libraries ? Is it possible at all to dynamically link Wine libraries with Linux gcc-compiled code ? Thank you. -- Best regards, Alexander mailto:aefremov(a)mpi-sb.mpg.de

docs
by Brian Vincent 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I don't want to step on any toes, but I plan on redoing the User Guide this weekend. Mostly it'll just be an extension of the existing stuff I wrote and bringing it up to date. I figure I can probably bang it out in a few hours. Is anyone else close to having docs completed? -Brian

Re: GDI/tests: link to {G|S}etRelAbs() during runtime

Feel free to correct the test. :-) Since this is a GDI test it already implicitly links with gdi32.dll. So, there is no need for LoadLibrary/FreeLibrary, GetModuleHandle is enough. -- Dmitry.

Compile documentation problem
by gslink 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

If Wine is going to enter beta soon then someone ought to document the procedure for compiling the source. If FC is used to attempt such a compile and the instructions packaged with the source are followed the result will be a compile failure in fonts. This is in spite of installing fontforge. The fact that an additional library must be supplied should be mentioned in the installation instructions packaged with the source. Of course, if the RH rpm of fontforge is used then it will fail to install because of the missing library. Compiling fontforge from source or not installing it results in the Wine failure to compile. The readme should be fixed.
