Some Processor(s) specific environment variables
by Paul Vriens 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, there are some processor specific environment variables: NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1 PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 6 Model 9 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6 PROCESSOR_REVISION=0908 (from a VMware box). These variables exist in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Control\Session Manager\Environment. Psinfo.exe (from SysInternals) uses these env-variables to produce some information. When I remove the entries and reboot the box they are auto-generated again. My question is where to put the generation of these variables? We most likely want this with some defaults in wine.inf. Furthermore GetSystemInfo() could be changed, but that seems cheating. Any ideas? Cheers, Paul.

Re: Dogfood status

While we are on the subject of dogfooding things, to the best of anyone's knowledge, has anyone ever tried to do something as crazy as oh i dunno, defragging their hard drive (or even one of the virtual partitions) with win98's defragger? What about running win98's gui'based scandisk on either of the above? I'd do it, but my linux machine still needs a new motherboard. Anyone got a test machine they need to reformat?

need advise with new open-source project
by Nuno Lopes 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi, I'm currently trying to start a new open-source project that will do the same as WINE did with the windows API, but for a Sony framework, named OPEN-R. This framework allows users to write programs for Sony's robots (namely the dog AIBO). But Sony has discontinued the robotics division and they won't provide support for the framework. I already have the initial code running. I can already compile the code for a non-MIPS platform (their robots are MIPS based) and also load the code and run it. Of course there are still many function stubs. My question is about legal things. Is it considered reverse-engineering to re-implement the Sony's framework (the API is somewhat documented)? Did you have some law problems with Microsoft? One more thing: How do you do with the headers? do you use original Microsoft's headers or did you rewrite them? I'm currently using Sony's headers, which can't be redistributed. So I also have a problem here. How can I rewrite the headers, so that they aren't considered a copy?? I would love if you could answer my questions, so that I can make the project public as soon as possible. Best Regards, Nuno P.S.: btw, nice work with valgrind ;) I think I'll start to test my windows apps for memleaks in linux.

Hi all, You can find more information on launching native Linux apps at the wiki: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Advanced_Wine_User_Information#Runing_Li… The example there works for any extension you want: .ODT, .DOC, .XLS, .PDF, .ODS, .RTF, .JPG and so on You just have to use your imagination and make your own shell scripts .... I already have some!

wine and rpath
by Ivars Strazdins 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hello all, recently introduced rpath sets rpath to $ORIGIN I wonder if $ORIGIN/../lib would not be more appropriate? Or is this something my build-system specific? $ORIGIN just does not work to me, I really need $ORIGIN/../lib, if --prefix is set to non-default, non /usr value. Thank you, Ivar

Hi list, I'm forwarding a question from someone at Microsoft(!). I could recommend grep, winedump and Linux of course but I was wondering if anyone on this list has a good suggestion for this guy? Don't believe it? I didn't either, but look at the headers, this mail was accepted from a mailserver in the microsoft.com domain: Return-Path: <a-gaolap(a)microsoft.com> Received: from mail.vu.nl (IDENT:MU9AWzJpIWdhZlkI0e97gBGdUUEagQyZ(a)mail.vu.nl [130.37.129.161]) by mail.it.vu.nl (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id k2DHsnL15211 for <hans(a)mail.it.vu.nl>; Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:54:49 +0100 Received: from mail1.microsoft.com (mail1.microsoft.com [131.107.3.125]) by mail.vu.nl (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id k2DHsjW13651 for <hans(a)it.vu.nl>; Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:54:46 +0100 Received: from mailout1.microsoft.com ([157.54.1.117]) by mail1.microsoft.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.2499); Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:54:41 -0800 Received: from RED-MSG-50.redmond.corp.microsoft.com ([157.54.61.146]) by mailout1.microsoft.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:54:41 -0800 And here's the line from our mailserver log: Mar 13 18:54:46 nath sendmail[13651]: k2DHsjW13651: from=<a-gaolap(a)microsoft.com>, size=6136, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<22DDEC51216B404E8C056F8F5198E9270616976E(a)RED-MSG-50.redmond.corp.microsof…>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=mail1.microsoft.com [131.107.3.125] -Hans ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Hi Date: Monday 13 March 2006 18:54 From: "Gaolai Peng $Volt$" <a-gaolap(a)microsoft.com> To: hans(a)it.vu.nl Hi Hans, My name is Gaolai. I am working on antivirus software for MS exchange. One of our customers gets following error when he opened our product, "the ordinal 319 could not be located in the Dynamic link library wldap32.dll, "initialization of dll msrd2x40.dll terminated". For sure our product doesn't need ordinal 319, ldap_create_vlv_control. His environment is NT 4.0 SP 6. I looked up the msdn, func ldap_create_vlv_control requires Windows Vista or Windows XP. So I figured the user must have installed some software that needs at least XP or Vista? >From http://source.winehq.org/source/ChangeLog, I found out you were the first person who implemented this function. Can you give some suggestion about how do I find out what software needs ordinal 319? What I am supposed to do to fix this without suggesting the user to install XP? Thanks. Gaolai -------------------------------------------------------

Re: wglMakeCurrent
by Wino Rojo 13 Mar '06

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for all your replies... After further inspection, it seems the problem is when I try to share display lists from one context to another. I've attached the program and the source code, so you can try it. As you can see, I first create a context and then I create a second context but sharing the display lists of the first one. If you run this program, you'll see the BadMatch error I was reporting in my first email. However, if you don't share display lists (that is, change the line Context.Create(0, 0, true) to Context.Create(0, 0, false)), everything works ok. Jesse, I've made the changes proposed in those patches, but it didn't work :-( By the way, I'm using wine .9.9.

wglMakeCurrent
by Wino Rojo 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi I'm pretty new to wine, and this is my first post to the wine-devel list....I hope this is the correct place to send my question I'm having problems with wglMakeCurrent. I wrote a small OpenGL test program, but it's not working under wine (it works perfectly on Windows). When I call wglMakeCurrent, wine outputs this error: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 144 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 120 Current serial number in output stream: 120 I activated the debug output for opengl, and I can see that the problem is a mismatch between the default visual ID and my program visual ID. At the top of the debug output, I see this: trace:opengl:X11DRV_setup_opengl_visual Visual ID 21 Chosen and later, when I create my OpenGl context: trace:opengl:X11DRV_SetPixelFormat - VISUAL_ID 0x23 Obviously, the problem is that my visual ID doesn't match with the X-Window's default, but I need to work using my visual (because I need alpha planes) Any known workaround or is this a bug on wine's implementation of wglMakeCurrent?

Anything wrong with this patch? It does fix the "stuck alt" problem for games I use alt+tab on.

Re: dlls: Move the call to MODULE_DllThreadAttach from kernel32 code to NTDLL code
by Alexandre Julliard 13 Mar '06

Robert Shearman <rob(a)codeweavers.com> writes: > ChangeLog: > Move the call to MODULE_DllThreadAttach from kernel32 code to NTDLL code. The problem with this is that the call is no longer inside the exception handler, so it would prevent debugging crashes that happen during thread attach. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
