Hi Austin, - case 0x32: /* ENABLE/DISABLE VIDEO ADDRERSSING */ + case 0x32: /* ENABLE/DISABLE VIDEO ADDRRESSING */ That's still misspelled. - * special virtualalloc, allocates lineary monoton growing memory. + * special virtualalloc, allocates linear monoton growing memory. Monoton isn't a word. Monotone is, as is monotonic, and monotonically, which is probably what's meant. -/* Volume functions derived from Alsaplayer source */ +/* Volume functions derivated from Alsaplayer source */ This change doesn't look correct to me. --Juan

Re: d3dx implementation senseless?
by tony.wasserka＠freenet.de 08 Jan '08

Okay, I have a bit time now and tomorrow, so I'll probably have submitted a basic d3dx9 dll patch until Wednesday. So I'll create a new d3dx9 directory inside dlls, but I'm not that familiar with Wine's makefile system (not very much with makefiles in general honestly), so can anyone tell me how to tell make that it should create several copies of our dll?

Dead in the water because of bug 11080
by Dan Kegel 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Today's git (or perhaps Friday's?) seems to cause every oldish microsoft runtime installer to fail; see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11080 This makes it kind of hard for me to verify my old bugs.

I don't think a non null-terminated MULTI_SZ string is very useful. Do you really have an app that depends on this? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: Can't figure out how to link a program

Dear Alexandre, Thank you for your response. With that little information I was able to get my entire system working. Two or three very simple examples showing all the steps in the docs would be worth their weight in gold and would be so easy to do. It's also a shame I had to send the inquiry through three different channels before getting an answer. Thank you very much for your quick response. I t made all the difference.

Fwd: [alkyproject-announce] End of an era

Forwarding in case this might be useful to anyone here. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cody Brocious <cody.brocious(a)gmail.com> Date: Jan 7, 2008 3:46 AM Subject: [alkyproject-announce] End of an era To: alkyproject-announce(a)googlegroups.com It is with great sadness that I announce the closing of Falling Leaf Systems, LLC. We set out over a year ago to provide users of both "old and unsupported" as well as "alternative" Operating Systems the ability to run the latest games for the PC. Unfortunately, Falling Leaf Systems was unable to achieve that goal. However, every ending tends to open another door for opportunity and though we are saddened to announce our departure, we are almost as excited to announce the immediate availability of ALL source code for the Alky Project! It is licensed under the LGPL and includes both the orginal Alky Converter source used to convert the popular Prey Demo to run on OSX and Linux, as well as the alpha release of the Alky Compatibility Libraries which attempted to provide a DirectX10 compatible runtime for Windows XP. All of this is available at http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/ We have also created some new forums on the site for users to discuss the coming cycle of DirectX 10 based games. We hope that you'll pop in there from time to time, and we also hope you join our mailing list to receive an announcement in case some other Open Source project decides to carry on the Alky banner. We appreciate all your past support; Happy gaming! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Alky Project Announcements" group.
