Not many people understand or care. You'll probably need to set up a nightly build-and-test on Solaris to keep the code from rotting. BTW, here's a great book about classic sh programming: "Portable Shell Programming" by Bruce Blinn It's like the "K&R" of shell programming. - Dan

{Resend} [programs/uninstaller (Try 6)] Scan HKCU
by Tom Spear 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Scan HKCU for uninstall entries. Separated out the trace fix, moved the HeapAlloc for entries outside the for loop, realigned the 2nd line of code for a trace. This patch obsoletes all previous ones. -- Thanks Tom Check out this new 3D Instant Messenger called IMVU. It's the best I have seen yet! http://imvu.com/catalog/web_invitation.php?userId=1547373&from=power-email

re: winetricks: Add Package "gecko"

Detlef wrote: > gecko is required before we can add the flashplayer I'm a bit confused. Wine will load gecko itself on demand, why do you need it in winetricks? Presumably to get rid of the mouse click required when Wine autodownloads gecko? Your patch seems ok but I wonder if exposing details about how gecko is installed is a good idea. It'd be nice for wine to offer a quiet mode for gecko installation itself. Winetricks really is for third party stuff wine doesn't have control over. Also, are you planning to also add the flashplayer to winetricks? I didn't quite understand your comment. Finally, James is right, winetricks patches may as well go straight to me... - Dan

DirectX under Wine
by Robert Fairlie 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hello, I am a contractor for a company in the UK. I have developed a 3D module for an oil reservoir visualisation program on Windows that is now required to run on Linux. The Wine port has been very successful (it started a month or so ago), but I'm having a couple of DirectX-related problems. We're using DirectX 9, the LinuxOS is Fedora Core 6, the Wine version is 0.9.32, and we're only using the binary loader, i.e. we're simply running our Windows executable under Wine. The problems I'm having relate to calling IDirect3DSurface9::GetDC() on an offscreen surface, which doesn't appear to work, and to calling IDirect3DDevice9::CreateStateBlock() with D3DSBBT_ALL, which appears to hang the program. I've had a look in the bug lists, but I didn't see anything relating to these issues. I'd greatly appreciate any information anyone has on these two issues. I'd also appreciate any information on how the DirectX to OpenGL translation is implemented. For example, does Wine use hardware-accelerated OpenGL? Our program was initially affected by Wine bug 2398, i.e. the bug that causes the OpenGL window to occupy the whole application window. We got round this by first rendering to an offscreen surface, copying the offscreen surface to a bitmap, and then blitting the bitmap to the window. It is of course slower but its acceptable for us and gives us nice MDI behaviour under Wine. However, since we mix DirectX and GDI, we would like to use GetDC() on the offscreen surface. This isn't crucial, but among other things it would allow us to blit the offscreen surface into the bitmap, rather than using IDirect3DSurface9::LockRect() and copying it pixel by pixel as we're doing at the moment. Thanks, Robert Fairlie

shell failure on tools/wineinstall
by sol11x86＠comcast.net 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Ran into this error after building wine again. Not sure why I haven't seen this before, but: tools/wineinstall: line 272: [: too many arguments which translates to this line: if [ ! `which wine` ] On Solaris, if I do "which wine", I get a no wine in (long list of path entries)., so I assume another version of "which" returns a blank string if wine doesn't exist? Thoughts? Ben

What shell are you using that doesn't understand $() command expansion? Even the basic BSD "sh" does support this. However this doesn't really affect anything, and should work in all shells too. > The problem with the get_menu_entries function is that the awk > uses the match function, which is only available in gawk and nawk, > and julliard didn't like my idea of making the script just use gawk or > nawk, so I have to rewrite the function to look like this: > > get_menu_entries() > { > tmp="$xdg_config_dir/$1.menu" > > if [ -r "$tmp" ] ; then > awk ' > BEGIN { RS="<" } > /^Filename/ { > RSTART=index($0,">"); > if (RSTART > 0) { > print substr($0,RSTART+1) > } > }' $tmp > This looks reasonable to me. Wine uses match() to find a matching ">" so index() would do just fine. Vitaliy.

Regression in AccessCheck?
by Dan Kegel 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6845 describes two apps whose installs fail because of what looks like a problem in AccessCheck. I attached my attempt at a fix, and it does get those two apps to install, but the advapi security conformance tests fail after applying it. Can someone familiar with AccessCheck / NtAccessCheck have a look? Thanks!
