winefile
by Martin Fuchs 14 May '05

Hi, I want to merge some Robert Dickenson's version of winfile (derived from the old winefile code in 2002) in the next time into winefile. At the same time I want to keep the code it in sync between the ReactOS code base and Wine. What do you think about splitting the source file into several smaller modules? winefile.c is quite large with its 4223 lines. Martin

Winelib's role in converting Windows applications
by Ira Krakow 14 May '05

14 May '05

As many of you know, Brian and I are writing a book on Wine and Winelib for Prentice Hall. Brian's doing the Wine part; I'm doing the Winelib part. At Wineconf, I had a number of conversations about Winelib's role in converting Windows apps. The consensus seems to be that the most efficient conversion path is for much of the Windows app to stay in Visual C++ (or whatever) and that only the modules that specifically require native Linux calls should be recompiled, via MinGW/Dev-C++ on the Windows side, and Winemaker on the Linux side, into Winelib objects. For example, if the application requires PAM authentication, or a Linux-based help system, these modules would be separated out and encapsulated as Winelib objects. I was thinking of using PAM authentication as a good example, since it works for any authentication scheme that the application requires. This is the approach I plan to take. I welcome all feedback. Thanks. Ira

I piped all the make output to a file, and the all the gcc commands have the -m32 flag after them (the winegcc ones don't, but these seem to all be linking rather than compiling.) I have run file over the binaries, and they all say ELF 32-bit LSB executable (or shared object, for the libraries). Out of interest, how did you know it had been compiled as 64 bit? Any ideas how I can track down which bit is being mis-compiled as 64 bit, so I can tidy up the build for that part? And is anyone else seeing the same symptoms (ie: WINEDEBUG="+relay" wine crashing)? I've got a pretty vanilla Fedora install, apart from being AMD64, so I shouldn't be unique.... thanks, Adrian

And, do you mean WINEDEBUG=trace or WINEDEBUG=trace+all? I think +trace will have no effect, as trace isn't the name of a debug channel. --Juan __________________________________ Yahoo!

OK maybe I am thinking of a bug in binutils or something. There were a few of them caused problems when building on mingw which result in me having to hack Winebuild a bit. Thanks Steven Yahoo!

In reality almost nothing of any importance currently runs on Wine without some setup. What you probably need to do is to experiment with replacing some of the dlls or adding some from Windows. This is usually what is necessary. You may also need to install the software in a Windows machine and then copy it over. Start trying things and something will probably work. I have been getting on the Wine people because this feature of Wine makes it useless for the average user. There needs to be some easy way for someone to report what is necessary to get a new version of something running or there needs to be a good configurator written. Wine is a very good program but the Wine group is making a classic programming error in forgetting the user interface. It doesn't make any difference how good it is if you can't get at it! In this case you can't.

Can someone explain me, please, where would atoi() function be linked now to? I still have not installed MinGW package, so cannot cross-compile winetest and cannot check this myself. :-/

Hi Michael, I really like the idea of trying to tie the apps in better for users of Winelib applications but I have a few problems. (I should have spoken up when the first of the Unixfs stuff was going in to shell32 because I feel it should have been a shellext outsite of shell32 but now I am off the subject) --- Michael Lin <mlin(a)corvu.com.au> wrote: --- dlls/commdlg/comdlg32.spec +@ stdcall UnixFSGetOpenFileNameA(ptr) +@ stdcall UnixFSGetOpenFileN Is there anyway for us to have these functions inlined or something rather than exported all the time is there? The reason I ask is that being able to build applications using Wine on Windows and Mingw helps with testing and if we building on Windows using Wine headers and link to the Wine import libs the application will fail running the application on Windows because the Windows dll wont export these functions. +BOOL WINAPI UnixFSGetSaveFileNameW( + LPOPENFILENAMEW ofn) /* [in/out] address of init structure */ +{ + BOOL win16look = FALSE; + + if (ofn->Flags & (OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT|OFN_ENABLEHOOK|OFN_ENABLETEMPLATE)) + win16look = (ofn->Flags & OFN_EXPLORER) ?

No new application should depend on this behavior and clearly not one that you have the source code to in Winelib. I already broke this in Wine once. Just return GetFileDialog95W. + return GetFileDialog95W(ofn, SAVE_DIALOG, TRUE); } Thanks Steven Discover Yahoo! Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and more.
