What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

winspool: ERROR_INVALID_NAME in GetDefaultPrinter() ?
by Detlef Riekenberg 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

Wine desktop integration: current directory of app launched with doubleclick?
by Dan Kegel 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

I *almost* have a great success story to report; the only thing keeping it from being a success story is the current directory chosen by Nautilus when double-clicking on .exe files. My wife hurt a finger trying to impersonate a Sampsonite Luggage gorilla, and had to go to a hand doctor. Along the way her hand got x-rayed, and the doctor handed her a cd-rom with the x-ray pictures on it. The disc has an autorun.inf on it that should start ViewSel.exe. I don't know if that's supposed to work with Wine and Nautilus, but probably doubleclicking on ViewSel.exe does the same thing. ViewSel.exe puts up two big buttons: low res (which launches a web browser on an html file), and high res (which launches a DICOM viewer). If you cd to the root of the cd-rom drive and run ViewSel, it works. If the current directory is anything else, it doesn't work. If you start the autorun app via Nautilus, those buttons don't work, so presumably it sets the current directory to something other than the root of the drive. To see, I created a wrapper shell script, ~/bin/mywine, containing #!/bin/sh pwd > /tmp/log and used "Start with" to launch ViewSel.exe with ~/bin/mywine. This showed that the current directory was $HOME. I had a look at the gnome code to see how it decided, but it was a bit hard to follow. (See gnome_vfs_mime_application_launch_with_env.) So I tried a little shell magic. I created a new wrapper shell script that assumes the argument is a path to a file, and sets the current directory to the directory containing that file: #!/bin/sh DIR=`dirname "$1"` DIR=`cd "$DIR"; pwd` cd "$DIR" wine "$@" That worked better; it let ViewSel.exe launch the DICOM viewer. So... I suppose the next step is to look at the debian/ubuntu packages for wine and see if that little wrapper script could be incorporated into the default way file browsers start wine? It sure would be nice if apps that expected the current directory to behave like this (it's not uncommon!) Just Worked. - Dan

today's valgrind results online
by Dan Kegel 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Online at http://kegel.com/wine/valgrind/20071002/ (I now include more info about memory leaks, but I still only report anything if there was an invalid memory reference.) The following tests were fixed in git yesterday, and no longer have any valgrind warnings: comctl32/rebar comctl32/status crypt32/chain crypt32/crl crypt32/msg cryptnet/cryptnet user32/msg wintrust/softpub Juan thinks nearly all of the remaining crypt32 errors can be suppressed (some are intentional). Here are the directories that still have warnings: advapi32 advpack cabinet comctl32 crypt32 d3d8 d3d9 d3dx8 dplayx dsound gdi32 gdiplus hlink kernel32 mlang msacm32 mscms mshtml msi msvcrt msxml3 netapi32 ntdll ole32 oleaut32 quartz riched20 riched32 rpcrt4 rsaenh setupapi shdocvw shell32 urlmon user32 usp10 wininet winmm wintrust - Dan

"winefix" - interesting wrapper for wine
by Dan Kegel 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Tom W. found and publicized a script called "winefix" by an ubuntu forums user named "deadlydeathcone": http://digg.com/linux_unix/Winefix_improved_desktop_integration_for_Wine http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/10/winefix-improved-desktop-integratio… http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=6e904c1df87d3fd1698ab5d7bbdbf664&t… It's got a bunch of interesting stuff. I wonder if we could get him to join wine-devel and start contributing to wine itself... - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Maybe the implementation doesn't, but the function returns a LONG, and can (and probably should) return negative values on error. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

If you'd actually read what the code intended to do instead of just fixing warnings, you'd see that add_streams_to_table returns -1 on error. While the check for < 0 is not correct, removing the check entirely is wrong. The check should be if (sv->num_rows == -1) return ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED. -- James Hawkins
