Bits: DLL name and svchost questions
by Roy Shea 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Howdy All, Thanks for helping me these past weeks as I get started with Wine development! I'm gaining a better understanding of the bits (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) COM service. Bits is run as a service via the svchost group netsvcs. Within netsvcs is the BITS service that is tied to qmgr.dll. The qmgr name is used for backwards compatibility and is where the bits implementation lives. Two questions for the wine gods: (1) Shall I add bits to wine in dlls/bits or dlls/qmgr? I recommend the former, since current Windows documentation refers to "bits". But this may confuse folks who don't understand the tie between qmgr and bits, as demonstrated by my patch attempt last week :-\ (2) Need I treat svchost as a prerequisite to my bits work? I recommend developing bits first (starting bits as a service on demand) and then worrying about svchost. Off the top of my head I think this will look the same to applications wanting to use bits. However, I'm new to the COM world and may be overlooking something... Thanks for the advice, -Roy

Hi Rob, + file->mode |= st.st_mode & (S_IRWXU|S_IRWXO); Why "|=" rather than simply "="? --Juan

Re: wine.inf[1/2]: remove non-existing modules from the fake dlls list

It's not always necessary to have a corresponding builtin, if the app doesn't try to actually load the dll a fake is enough. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Font issues when building Wine from sources
by Reece Dunn 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi, When I run an application using Wine from an X terminal, e.g. $ /opt/wine-0.9.43/bin/wine winecfg I get all the text (with the exception of the window title) displayed in the characters from the Marlett font. I have a Linux From Scratch 6.2 box with the following additional packages: * libpng 1.2.12 (needed by Xorg) * freetype 2.1.10 (needed by fontconfig) * expat 2.0.0 (needed by fontconfig) * fontconfig 2.3.2 (needed by Xorg) * Xorg 6.9.0 * fontforge 20070917 (Wine's ./configure says it needs this to build the fonts) * wine 0.9.42 (taken from git using the wine-0.9.43 tag) I am building wine as follows: ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-0.9.43 make depend make make install all from a bash terminal (i.e. not X). Is there anything that I am missing, or am doing wrong? Thanks, - Reece

> ntdll: Remove assumptions that the subheap is at the beginning of the memory block. In HEAP_CreateSubHeap, shouldn't the return value also be changed, e.g. return "&((HEAP*)address)->subheap" if a main heap was created? - Allan
