The second caller won't, but the first one will, so you need FILE_SHARE_WRITE access. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

re: A script for automatic regression testing

IMHO, it should instead factor out any knowledge about how to test for the bug into a user-supplied shell script. The script would be run once Wine is built, would check for the specific bug being searched for, and its exit status would be zero for success (no bug) and nonzero for failure (the bug was found). So using Mikolaj's script would require you to write a tiny shell script that invoked autohotkey on a script, or maybe just ran an installer and checked for the existance of a file, or something to do with PNG's, whatever you want. http://delta.tigris.org works this way; it calls the shell script "the oracle". - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Legal issues for contribution code into Wine
by Dmitry Morovkov 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, I'm a (mostly windows, but with some linux skills) programmer from russia who is interested in helping developing Wine, but due to all the mess I read about the legal issues I want to ask first. What is Wine's position regarding people who had seen the windows source code? I tried to search for this topic, and, found this: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Reading-Non_002dFree-Code.html After reading this, it looks like it's ok if someone have seen the windows source code, and provided he is not going to directly copy unmodified source code (what a stupid idea!), nor refer to it, he would be considered as a good/trusted person? Please clarify this to me. Regards, Dmitry Morovkov.

If you need these line be output in appropriate way, try to add fflush(stdout) in proper place (into run_test function in include/wine/test.h, I suppose). -- Kirill

About WritePrivateProfileString and file operations
by Zhongli Xu 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi all, I run some tests about mixed using WritePrivateProfileString and stand file operations Codes look like this: GetPrivateProfileString(keyname, value); fopen(); fprintf("# comments"); fclose(); WritePrivateProfileString(keyname, newvalue); What I found in the file is that either WritePrivateProfileString operation succeeded(newvalue has been written) or fprintf succeeded("#comments" shows up in the file). On windows hosts, there is no such problem. Any suggestion or idea is welcomed. Thanks. Milo

RFC: root cert tool
by Juan Lang 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Since there wasn't a clear consensus about how to get CA certificates into the registry, I decided to do what Mono does: punt. So I've written a tool that can load certificates from a file or from a URL and stick them in the registry. By default it assumes you want to download them from Mozilla's CVS front-end, and does so. A patch that adds it is attached. Comments? Thanks, --Juan

#winehq admin abuse

Below is a log of #winehq, from 9:44 to 10:09 on Wednesday August 15th: (09:43:50 PM) Pie-rate: my brother's girlfriend's WoW install is crashing (locking up, stops responding) randomly. she will install windows tomorrow if it doesn't get fixed. i don't like windows and i don't want to deal with it. the message it crashes with is: (09:43:50 PM) Pie-rate: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x509da8c "?" wait timed out in thread 0047, blocked by 003e, retrying (60 sec) (09:43:50 PM) Pie-rate: this is with an install copied over from my computer, which i KNOW works flawlessly, and wine 0.9.41 (09:43:54 PM) carretto: vitamin: what?

(09:44:15 PM) vitamin: <vitamin> carretto, you have to install the game on Wine (09:44:34 PM) vitamin: Pie-rate, oh well (09:44:43 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: "oh well?" (09:44:46 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: no magic fix? (09:44:55 PM) carretto: vitamin: wine <game install>?

(09:57:38 PM) vitamin: carretto, I already answered all your questions (09:57:50 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: Read the topic. "End user/tech support channel for Wine." A derogatory-sounding "oh well" is nothing more than flamebait. Either say nothing, or help. That's what I try to do, and that's what's in the best interest of the project. I believe you are a channel admin, correct? Saying "oh well," without even trying to help is rude, but saying "oh well" without even trying to help, as a channel admin? That's like inviting people to an installfest, and then when they ask for help installing something saying "OH WELL" and spitting in their faces. (09:57:59 PM) vitamin: carretto, if you do not undestand answers, then RTFM, Google, etc (09:58:56 PM) carretto: vitamin: where i downlaod a newer version? (09:59:01 PM) vitamin: Pie-rate, Did I offered help? DId you came here looking for help? Or state that fact that you don't F** care and will switch to windows? (09:59:14 PM) vitamin: carretto, Last time: <vitamin> from windows (09:59:35 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: i'm not the one switching to windows. (09:59:39 PM) vitamin: carretto, I do not f*** care where you download the file. You using _OLD_ version. you need _NEWER_ version of that file! (09:59:55 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: bit testy, today? (09:59:59 PM) vitamin: carretto, here is the LATEST http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/default.aspx?l=55&fid=198511 (10:00:19 PM) vitamin: Pie-rate, STFU if you have nothing to say (10:00:46 PM) Pie-rate: vitamin: same to you. you are unnecessarily cussing out people in a help channel that you administrate. (10:01:33 PM) mode (+o vitamin ) by ChanServ (10:01:33 PM) mode (+b %*!*(a)cust-69-19-214-183.static.o1.com ) by vitamin (10:01:36 PM) mode (-o vitamin ) by ChanServ (10:05:08 PM) Triskelios: vitamin, you really should try to be civil (10:07:08 PM) wckdkl0wn: how would i run 2 copies of diablo 2 in wine? (2 copies in windows) (10:08:15 PM) vitamin: wckdkl0wn, use separate WINEPREFIX for both (10:08:25 PM) mardum [n=mardum(a)71-81-73-42.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com] entered the room. (10:09:17 PM) vitamin: Triskelios, thanks for useless comment (10:09:35 PM) Triskelios: you're welcome ---------------------------end----------------------------- Vitamin is a disgrace to the OSS community. It is "RTFM and google it" elitists like him who scare people away from switching to open source applications. The fact that he was made an admin is inexcusable. Cussing out everyone asking for help is not behavior an admin should exhibit. I reported this incident in #winehackers, only to be told that there are no standards for wine admins. I suggest you get some standards, this is pathetic. I think my analogy is the best way to describe exactly WHY this is pathetic: "Saying "oh well," without even trying to help is rude, but saying "oh well" without even trying to help, as a channel admin? That's like inviting people to an installfest, and then when they ask for help installing something saying "OH WELL" and spitting in their faces." No, the people in the channel aren't being paid anything to help me or anyone else. They can choose not to help me. But then, what is the point of having the channel at all? This kind of abuse is completely against the spirit of open source and it is despicable that an admin is exhibiting this behavior. You may ask why I'm posting this to the development list. I believe it concerns everyone involved in the project when you have an admin cussing out anyone and everyone in the help channel, compromising its purpose. I suggest you develop some standards for your admins.

Re: dsound: Use wine dxguid rather then mingw dxguid

On Thursday 16 August 2007 12:06, Maarten Lankhorst wrote: > Makes it cross-compilable to produce a windows binary. I don't think this is the right way. It appears that native dxguid doesn't define some of the uuids needed for directdraw / directsound. You need to check where the missing guids are defined on windows. In case of ddraw IDirectDraw3 stuff is in ddrawex.h whereas we define it in ddraw.h. Something similar could be the case for directsound. Roderick

Why are you getting so worked up that he was a little rude? He is not our employee we can not reprimand him for his actions and neither can you. I think that he did try to help you given the information you provided, and maybe that is the problem with OSS, but if you don't like it go buy cedega. I am sure they have great technical support.
