You didn't mix up streamSource with streamStride, right? Since I cannot find the patch equivalent of "consecutive lines" doing the very same thing, unless I'm blind... Andreas Mohr

Last Call for SoC applications
by Dan Kegel 08 May '06

08 May '06

According to http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html#timeline applications are due in by 5PM PST Monday. That's about 17 hours away. We have just about enough proposals to choose from now, but there's still time for a well-written proposal to be accepted. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Wine regression; app stopped working after 0.9.9
by Herman Bos 08 May '06

08 May '06

Hi, We are using Ambrasoft, a Dutch educational software suite. It currently works on wine 0.9.9. But unfortunately not on later versions. When it just got out I tried wine 0.9.10, but unfortunately Ambrasoft hangs on start up with this release. I was fairly busy but now I'm giving it another shot. Currently using wine 0.9.12 and it doesn't hang however the application reports the following errors: [3][error] [13] in functie [MT6SchoolMenu::Main] Type mismatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2][error] [13] in functie [T6SchoolMenu::MT6SchoolMenu::Init] Type mismatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1][error] [13] in functie [CGroepCollection::Initialize] Type mismatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [0][error] [13] in functie [MDBAccess::GetGroepLijst] Type mismatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Log string: AmbraSoft.Ini bestand gevonden, Access version (location=M:\Ambrasoft\ provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0) Schoolpakket 9 The software uses an MS Access database and it looks like it goes bad in that department. I'm not sure how to supply more information. If requested I could build it with debug symbols and backtrace it (although i'm not sure with which parameters). Currently I'm using the ubuntu package from winehq but that probably doesn't matter. The number 1 reason I would like to try this new version is because I noticed improved esd support in the changelog of 0.9.10. I hope it works (we use thinclients that use esd for sound). Any hints/tips/tricks/feedback would be appeciated. Kind regards, Herman Bos

SoC proposal: shell integration
by Mikołaj Zalewski 07 May '06

07 May '06

I've had an idea for a SoC project and filled the application. In a comment I was advised to discuss it on wine-devel. The idea is to integrate the wine shell32 with the Linux desktops. The main problem is of course that there are many desktop environments and only some things are standardized by freedesktop.org. Even if all is standardised the wine's shell32 might be used on other platforms like MacOS X which, I guess, doesn't comply to freedesktop.org. That's why I think the implementation should allow many implementations of e.g. the trash or MIME database through e.g. COM interfaces. The actual implementation used will be configured by winecfg/registry or (if I will a way to implement it) autodetected. There would be one generic library (e.g. shell32_unix) implementing mainly the freedesktop standards with no dependencies on desktop environments (DE) libraries. If this generic code would integrate badly with a DE then a specific implementation would be provided by specific libraries (e.g. shell32_gnome, shell32_kde) that could link to the DE libraries. Of course if there are no libraries for a specific DE on the host system then the appropriate shell32_* isn't built. I would focus on recent version of KDE and Gnome and I thought of implementing: - The Trash. The freedesktop has a nice standard. It is a draft but it seems KDE from version 3.4 is already using it so wine would integrate with them. Gnome is using another Trash format but if that would be a big problem I could provide an implementation in shell32_gnome through the Gnome libs. The shell32 would contain a stub implementation of the Trash that would say no trash is available - so that shell32 could work even if the shell32_unix is not available. - The Start Menu. This is currently handled by wineshelllink but if we'd like to implement file associations we might need more control over it. Creating the 'app.desktop' file is easy. A bit harder is to know where to create it. The freedesktop standard specifies a standard place for the file. The older version of KDE and Gnome used different directories (usually ~/.kde/share/applnk or ~/.gnome/apps) but their shell32_* libraries could check the version of the DE and if it is old store the app.desktop in the DE private directory obtained by a DE library call. There could be a problem with detecting the Windows Start Menu changes. The links creation can be trapped in IShellLink like it is currently done but traping link removal can't be done that way as it is done with filesystem calls bypassing the shell32. We may need to put a filesystem change notify on the start menu directory and start a synchronization program if a change is detected. - The file associations. This might be the hardest part. If we detect a change to the Windows associations (here again we might need to put a change notify on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) we should get the class MIME type from the registry. If there is no we search the Linux MIME database for this extension. If none was found we can make a dummy one e.g. applicaton/x-wineapp.extension.xxx. If the found/created MIME type is not in the Linux database we should register it. The next step is to check if this application has a menu item. If there is no we should create a hidden one. Once we have the menu 'app.desktop' file we add the line that it handles the specified MIME type. (there are three MIME databases I think we should care about - the freedesktop /usr/share/mime the KDE /usr/share/mimelnk and maybe the old Gnome /usr/share/mime-info) Where was also a comment that this may be to much for one summer. If implementing only a part of this plan is enough then of course I'll agree. Mikolaj Zalewski

Oi Trying to attach a debugger to an application crashing in X11DRV. Enabled the synchronous trace, and the debugger does start, but it's output doesn't show up on the console. It accepts commands such as c for continue, but it's useless if I want a backtrace, for example. Which I do :-). Here's the output that it generates: =========================== err:x11drv:error_handler X protocol error: serial=23409562, request_code=53 - breaking into debugger err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7f2c5e20 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 000a, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7f2c5e20 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0011, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) =========================== I had expected that winedbg start printing something after "breaking into debugger" but before "X11DRV_CritSection wait timed out". I'm going to spend a lot of time fiddling with it now, I'd just like to ask if anyone has a ready explanation (while my story is still short enough to be readable in 5 mins).. Anyone? If someone can enlighten me, I'd also like to know why a timeout occurs while in the debugger. I had expected debugging to completely suspend the process being debugged?

Did you verify this on Windows? MSDN tends to lie about these kind of things. Also not that te value that wined3d returns isn't necessarily the same as what the respective d3d8/d3d9 call returns, although in practice it often is.

There might be more to this. This was changed the other way around not too long ago. See http://source.winehq.org/git/?p=wine.git;a=commit;h=252c4adb965a26db19c1c91… It might just be that the glDrawPixels call should've been changed instead last time. (Shouldn't those simply use the format in This->glDescription.glFormat in the first place?)

OpenGL-Accelerated DirectDraw: Experiances and expectations
by Stefan Dösinger 07 May '06

07 May '06

Hi, Now that the new ddraw code in my tree is almost feature-complete, I decided to take a look at opengl-accelerated DirectDraw. I have implemented Blts from and to rendertargets already for Direct3D games like Tomb Raider 3 and Swat3, so I thought it would work. Palettized surfaces(d3d demos) and color keying(moto racer 2) are also in place. Well, I started Anno 1602 with opengl surfaces, got a black screen and looked at the logs. The basic problem is that directdraw games tend to do a lot of 'nasty' things(The same applied to d3d games which do ddraw-rendering) One of these nasty things is GetDC on the render target. Age of Empires 2 and Settlers 3 to that to draw text. This is going to be unplayably slow I'm afraid. Wine will need a dib engine for that to work. Another issue is 'stupid' rendering. I tested Tibia 3(d3d with a ddraw main menu). It creates a single-buffered, non-d3d primary, and a offscreen d3d surface. Now it blts to the offscreen device(which is the wined3d back buffer, no problem), reads everything to an non-d3d offscreen surface and blts the result to the front buffer. This can work, but it needs some pretty good opengl magic to work at a usable speed(At the moment it just produces a black screen). Swat3 showed another problem: It renders the main menu, mouse pointer and the in-game hud with ddraw blts, which works just great basically. In opengl the main menu renders at ~500 fps, instead of ~40 fps with the old gdi code. But whenever I move the mouse pointer over a control, it starts locking all it's surfaces in read-write mode, which requires them to be reloaded to gl and takes performance down(2-3 fps). This is made worse by the surface convertion for color keying emulation. I expect opengl-accelerated directdraw to take some more time, and there will be some games(GetDC) which are unlikely to work well at all. I will make some modifications to the WineD3D texture loading code to only upload changed areas, which should improve the problems a bit. Stefan
