RE : OLEAUT32: add full multiplication/division support for DECIMAL, with tests
by Vijay Kiran Kamuju 20 Sep '05

Hi Alex, I think your VarBstrFromDec fails with my testcases, and you should not hardcode the decimal format seperator. And your patch fails my tests. Check my patch<http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020777.html>for VarBstrFromDec(for my implementation and tests), my implementation is partial. You did a gr8 job implemeting the DECIMAL stuff in oleaut32. I have been sending and resending my patch since a month. I hope yours gets commited soon. bye Vijay

What are the problems? How much work is left before printing in Wine is more or less working with most major applications (like, say, Photoshop and Acrobat Reader)? - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?

Suggestions for improvement of the emulator
by Alex Tanner 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

I can't understand why the members of the Wine project are always complaining about lack of manpower. The lack of manpower is probably due to there being different flavours of Wine developed by different companies. If all the companies worked together on a single WinXP-Pro-emulating flavour of Wine, the manpower problem would be solved. There would be other advantages to this: - a) Windows API functions would be implemented more quickly. b) There would be better support for the latest Windows applications. c) People would no longer have problems running applications that fail to work simply because they need support files from more than one Wine flavour. d) There wouldn't be multiple teams of people pointlessly trying to implement the same Windows API functions as each other for different flavours of Wine, because each team would no longer be going its own way. ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Wine on NetBSD?
by Bryce Robilliard 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

I was enquiring as to whether or not Wine is compatible with NetBSD, or if any other port of Wine is compatible with NetBSD. If not are there any plans to make this so? Regards, Bryce Robilliard

You need to call GetBitmapBits the second time with "size" returned from a previous GetBitmapBits call, just like you do in SetBitmapBits. -- Dmitry.

Burning CDs under Wine?
by Dan Kegel 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

What is the current state of support for burning CDs under Wine? I checked the appdb, but can't find any recent reports of CD burning programs working. It seems to have worked at some point in the past: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=639 http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2002/09/0164.html http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/05/0263.html But some people are having trouble now: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2005/05/0100.html http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2005-July/018475.html The doc at http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-scsi-support looks pretty old. Maybe it's time for a refresh. -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer? See http://kegel.com/academy/getting-hired.html

Installers freezing - ole, games
by Ivan Gyurdiev 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi, I've been trying to get GTA: San Andreas, and Battlefield 2 running on Linux, so far without success. I suspect they are running into the same bug, because they produce very similar output (ole fixmes). Both games will freeze at some point during the install. Strangely, I don't see any errors, but I have provided an ole trace for each. Do you have any suggestions as to what the problem might be, or how to track it down? http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3108
