Google Summer of Code - Website maintenance

Hello, I'm terribly sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask my question, if it is please redirect me :) But, I think I'm in the right from poking in the archives. Anyway, I'm really interested in maintaining the Wine site as per http://www.winehq.org/site/contributing , and would love some more info on the the responsibilities and aims. I have pretty good knowledge of PHP, and enjoy web-design. I've worked with MySQL, but not any of the other commercial databases. My little homepage http://www.edmack.com has many little sites I've built up for various games. My day-to-day language is C++ (games development with openGL), although I originally learnt C. Thanks for your time, Ed Mack

Hi Chuck, >Well the patches worked, I did need to change the first one slightly to >make it work. > >Now I'm running into the problem of OpenGL, but I think this is solveable >by pointing to Mesa instead of the native GL system. Not that I really >need OpenGL through a terminal window... Haven't heard from you for a few days. How did you go in trying to compile wine on sparc? I have been following this thread and trying to compile wine on sparc myself. I am on Solaris 9 and have ran into some similar problem you had. I finally got wine compiled and installed (with some libraries disabled). However, I can't get it to run winelib application such as notepad yet. Just wondering if you have better luck than me on this topic. Thanks, Michael

I'm new to here. I hope to contribute to the wine project such as wine directshow or wined3d. I have about one year development experience in designing directshow filters on winxp platform.Then try to port simple directshow architecture on embedded system with my colleagues. I want to know the development procedure of wine dshow or wined3d to see how i can of any help. Sorry for my poor english. 3x.

No, it's just a totally screwed project from the perspective of versioning. You know they're making it harder and harder to access LinuxThreads, and it's scheduled for deletion from Fedora Core entirely? thanks -mike

However, there is one problem that isn't still fixed - paths that exist are saved with the Unicode version of their path name, but paths that don't are saved without. I'll make a patch to fix this if you think it's outside the scope of your current moniker fixes. Thanks, Rob

returning a pointer to something on the stack is something I call an error (how do you ensure that the buffer will not get overwritten by another function call ?)

Nice patch, and nice test case. > - DWORD constant1 = 0xDEADFFFF; /* these constants are detected after analysing the data structure written by */ > - WORD constant2 = 0x3; /* FileMoniker_Save function in a windows program system */ > + DWORD DEADFFFF = 0xDEADFFFF; /* Constants */ > + DWORD ZERO = 0; > + WORD THREE = 0x3; In C, variables are traditionally lower case, and macros are upper case.

Feasible google summer of code project?
by Joseph Garvin 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I asked in #winehq where I should ask about this, and I was sent here. So no flames if they were horribly wrong, I tried ;) I'm an undergraduate CS student, and I've been reading the wine newsletter for a while now because I find the project rather cool to watch. When I started using Linux a year ago wine didn't run my screenwriting software at all -- it's now fully functional. That's just flippin' sweet :) So, naturally, I'm excited at the idea of maybe hacking on wine. I'm not a super experienced C programmer. I know Standard C but have never actually worked on a large project in it before. I pick up new languages rather quickly though, and I've worked in Java, C, C++, Matlab, Lisp, and Python (my current favorite). But because I'm not a low level C guru (yet), I looked for things I could contribute to that weren't frightening -- some of the suggestions on the Wiki summer of code page look like they're meant for people already familiar with the wine codebase. That said, I'm interested in picking up the desktop integration areas that wine currently lacks. Working trash, my documents, autorun, xdg menu support (adding start menu items to the K-menu for instance), winebrowser, and icon themes. Basically a good chunk of stuff on the fun projects page. Two questions: 1. My understanding is the mentor organizations get to choose who they want. Is the wine project still interested in someone with my relatively low C/wine code base experience or should I just look elsewhere? 2. Is this something feasible for a proposal? Could it realistically be completed over the summer, say with 10 (insert your realistic number here) hours a week of work? You guys know the code better than I do :)
