Wine FAQ removed from the doc tarballs
by Francois Gouget 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

I noticed that we don't include the Wine FAQ in the Wine documentation tarballs. So I added it but then I noticed that it was removed from the tarballs by this patch: --- revision 1.36 date: 2003-09-18 20:51:32 +0000; author: julliard; state: Exp; lines: +9 -5 Remove the FAQ from the doc tarball, and build it as a single .html file (based on patch by Dimitrie O. Paun). --- What's the reasoning behind this? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're different.

So let's review it. :-) The new locking mechanism is wrong. DDLOCK_xxx are just used for optimization. The thing to do during the blit should be something like that : sdesc.dwSize = sizeof(sdesc); ddesc.dwSize = sizeof(ddesc); if (src == NULL) IDirectDrawSurface7_Lock(iface, &lock_dst, &ddesc, DDLOCK_WRITEONLY, 0); else if (src == iface) { RECT lock_union = < rect that just contains lock_dst and lock_src >; IDirectDrawSurface7_Lock(iface, &lock_union, &ddesc, 0, 0); sdesc = ddesc; } else { IDirectDrawSurface7_Lock(src, &lock_src, &sdesc, DDLOCK_READONLY, 0); IDirectDrawSurface7_Lock(iface, &lock_dst, &ddesc, DDLOCK_WRITEONLY, 0); } and the previous locking code should be used. The added DD_STRUCT_INIT are useless. Hope that helps. Bye, Christian

animate control regression
by Krzysztof Foltman 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

The current CVS version has a regression in the animate control, causing a deadlock, most probably in WM_DESTROY handler, in the app I'm testing Wine with. trace:message:SPY_ExitMessage (0x10038) L"{SysAnimate32}" message [0047] WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED returned 00000000 trace:message:SPY_EnterMessage (0x10038) L"{SysAnimate32}" message [0002] WM_DESTROY sent from self wp=00000000 lp=00000000 err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x403a3cb8 "?" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000a, retrying (60 sec) Reversing these two patches seems to fix the problem: http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=16654 http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=16619 I don't know if patch 16654 has any effect on this problem - I don't know this code well enough to reverse patches in random order. Hope it isn't difficult to fix... Krzysztof

Hi all, Wine is ronning just fine, and our program.exe is working, I just want to know if it is possible to create a shorcut of our program on our desktop so that a end user will just click the icon on the desktop to run the program.exe without typing on th text command "wine program.exe". TYIA! Jerry

Re: TlsAlloc limitation in winxp mode
by Jon Griffiths 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi Michael, > With the emulation mode set to "winxp" I can only TlsAlloc 64 > indexes, even though the MSDN docs say there should be at least > 20 million. You're misreading that page, the limits are: Win 2000/2003 & XP - 1088 indexes per process Win Me/98 - 80 indexes per process Win NT and 95 - 64 indexes per process So it seems that Me/98 add 16 on top of the original 64 limit, while from Win2k onwards another 1024 indices were added. You can almost certainly work around this if you have the source for the app you are trying to run, unless your app has more than 64 threads running at once. Just take all of the per-thread data you need and stick it into a structure, store only the pointer to that for each thread (1 slot). This adds a layer of indirection but means you are limited only by the heap, provided you don't have more than 64 threads. See dlls/msvcrt/thread.c for an implementation example.

On your Linux desktop, create a launcher with the "wine program.exe" command (there should be a field for such a thing). Also, for general Wine usage, wine-users(a)winehq.org might be better suited for your needs. :) Hiji __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: OLE32: Allow STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE for nameless storage files
by Mike McCormack 18 Mar '05

Actually, I think the test is just the wrong way round. It should read if (STGM_SHARE_MODE(grfMode) != STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE) I screwed it up in the following commit: http://cvs.winehq.org/cvsweb/wine/dlls/ole32/storage32.c.diff?r1=1.71&r2=1.… Mike Troy Rollo wrote: > StgOpenStorage was failing if pwcsName was NULL and the share flags were > STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE.

It's in the .NET 2003 MSDN Library documentation, section "Windows Development", subsection "Device Drivers", somewhere in the still image stuff (I can send you a PDF of it, it's around 30 MB). IStiUSD and IStiDeviceControl are probably part of the Windows DDK (Device Driver Kit), and that you get separately from Microsoft (for a ridiculous price). I'll see if I can get it from the ReactOS people. Does anyone else on this mailing list have the Windows DDK around and a spare stiusd.h they want to share? > Mike Damjan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
