A possible place to split the Code is at the Printmonitor-Level. The Printmonitor for the Standard "Local Ports" in Windows (COM*:, LPT*:, FILE:, Windows-File) was in "localmon.dll" and merged into "localspl.dll" with w2k. On IRC, Alexandre already accepted to handle Wine-Specific Ports ( CUPS:*, LPR:*, Pipe to a unix_app, /unix-File ) together with the Standard Window-Ports in a single Printmonitor: "localspl.dll" The Requirement, that updating the System-Printers in wine must work automatic, need some Attention, when the related code (LoadSystemPrinters) move from "winspool.drv" to "localspl.dll": 1) Changing the Code-Path to "winspool.drv -> localspl.dll -> CUPS/LPR" and using the same Memory-Functions for "localspl.dll" as done in Windows (the Memory-Related Exports from "spoolss.dll"), give us a circular dependency, when we load and call "winspool.drv" from "spoolss.dll". For this reason, using HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), ...) and Friends from "kernel32.dll" is a Possible way to go for "localspl.dll". 2) To let Printing in Wine work as similar as possible as Printing is done in Windows, (but without RPC and without the Spooler-Service) we can change the Code-Path to "winspool.drv -> spoolss.dll -> localspl.dll -> CUPS/LPR" and use the Exports from "spoolss.dll". Since we need the Memory-Exports from "spoolss.dll" also for other Printmonitors and many Names/Prototypes of the other "spoolss.dll" - Exports are Equal to the Functions in "winspool.drv", I prefer Solution "2". (Wine as an EMF-Printing-Backend for samba is only Possible with 2) As a Reference, what windows does, is: winspool.drv --(RPC)--> spoolsv.exe(Spooler Service) --(WINAPI)--> spoolss.dll -> localspl.dll -> Driver for LPT*: / COM*: Any comments please.

Re: This patch should fix bug 4863 - Icons in Notes Workspace
by Augusto Arcoverde da Rocha 09 Aug '06

Hi all, A little time ago I have sent this patch and now I'm asking to the Wine devel community about the correctness of that code. May be a fix for "Icons in Notes" bug would be incorporated in the next Wine release with some peer-review efforts.

Re: WineD3D: draw buffers support (patch 2)

This is a slighly updated version of the patch. The code is the same but I changed the comment a little as suggested by Henri as the part about SM3 was wrong.

[FreeBSD] locating wine at 0x20000000
by Tijl Coosemans 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hello all, For the past week or so I've been getting to know Wine and trying to improve/fix the FreeBSD version. I've progressed somewhat since then, though there are still quite a few open issues. One of the problems on FreeBSD is that Wine is loaded at 0x7bf00000. FreeBSD's mmap preserves some space for the data segment (about 512Mb by default) and every future call to mmap with NULL for the addr argument maps memory after that. This is the reason that win98 mode doesn't work, since the shared heap at 0x80000000 isn't available and everything that gets dlopen'ed for instance is located beyond the 2G limit which some programs may not like. So I was thinking of moving Wine to 0x20000000. That would be the easiest solution by far, but, are there any potential problems with that?

I am not sure, if exactly *this* patch fixes the problem - but i assume so: the colors of the cars and lights in Live For Speed are not fixed also. thanks for that! -- cu

widl: Error on simple idl file
by Elrond 09 Aug '06

Hi, The attached idl file gives an error when used with widl -DUSE_TYPEDEF simple.idl I doubt, that it is a syntax error, since adding "-h" creates the header, using "-c" gives the error. The error is: error: Unsupported member type 0x0 Elrond
