General script for installing Wine build dependencies
by Dan Kegel 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I have in the past written one script per version of Ubuntu to install Wine's build dependencies. Many versions on, that's getting old, and I figure it'd be better to have a single script that handles all common versions on Linux. I've taken a first stab at that, combining my scripts for gutsy and hardy, and adding ibex. The result is at http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh If anyone wants to add support to that script for another OS, please do, and send me the patch. I'd like to see this in the wine tree sometime. It's kind of silly we have to direct people to a big, confusing wiki page (or set of them) to explain how to install the needed packages; let's just have a unified script and be done with it.

patchwatcher status: still offline
by Dan Kegel 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Let me know if these updates get annoying. I'm bringing up a three-node patchwatcher cluster (master plus two build slaves), and updating http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/patchwatcher/readme.txt as I go. It's coming along ok, but it'll probably be another few days before it's up. - Dan

[Re] Vertex pipeline replacement
by Tobias Jakobi 03 Nov '08

Short feedback: - Max Payne 2: works as expected, I don't see any visual changes - Morrowind: 3D rendering breaks completly, minor (blending?) issues in the menu as well - however ingame scenes are fully black now How should I report this? Open a bug? Should I do any regression testing (since your patchset consists of more than one patch)? Greets, Tobias

rfc: refactoring msxml3 to get rid of aggregation
by Michael Karcher 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hello developers, the msxml3 code currently uses aggregation to implement IXMLDOMNode on all of the different DOM tree elements. As the interfaces for these elements are all derived from IXMLDOMNode, a lot of forwarding thunks have to be implemented to get the calls into the inner object. The attached patch series modifies the source code to derive the objects instead, which seems like the more natural approach to get derived interfaces implemented. The attached patches still have to be cleaned up: They contain lines ending with whitespace, incosistent spacing around function call parenthesis, incosistent style of using a cast helper function or direct casting and other small nits. A more important problem with these patches that make me write this mail is that they generate lots of compiler warnings like | domdoc.c:1556: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type which is of no surprise, as the vtable for domdoc expects a function taking an IXMLDOMDocument as "this" pointer while I provide a function taking an interface pointer to an IXMLDOMNode as "this" pointer. Both of these pointers point to the same address (as usual for derived objects), so the conversion is safe, but the simple-minded C compiler can't know that. The question that arises is how to handle these warnings. a) ignore them (most probably not an option) b) add lots of casts (only way to make the idea of these patches fly) c) write lots of little forwarding functions that convert the this pointer. d) ditch the idea of using derivation instead of aggregation Any oppions on that? I (obviously) think that b is the right solution, but as a quick grep over the Wine source code revealed, this solution seems to be used nowhere. Is that because this is the first place where deriving makes sense or is that because I'm completely off-track? Kind regards, Michael Karcher PS: The munged "From " lines in the attached patches are intentional. They keep my email program from choosing "application/mbox" as MIME type.

Re: [PATCH] mountmgr: Add and remove drives when they are (un)mounted.

This is going the wrong way. Wine already can't deal with blank media without some "hackish" workarounds. With this patch you will break even that. Wine should keep drive visible for applications even if there is not media or a blank media inserted. Vitaliy.

We should instead rewrite any existing tests that use a public server to instead use a server started by the Wine test code (see dlls/wininet/tests/http.c:server_thread). This has the additional benefit of allowing us to be much more precise with what we're testing and to be able to emulate the implementations of different HTTP servers, instead of just what winehq.org runs. -- Rob Shearman

patchwatcher status: offline

I'm taking the patchwatcher machines down to upgrade them to Intrepid Ibex this weekend. Incidentally, a jaguar plowed through the corner of our garage here at home. For a short while it was a 2.1 car garage :-) I may be somewhat distracted until that's dealt with somehow. - Dan

Conformance test to try on a windows box.

I'm currently implementing the D3DXMatrixStack interface. Could someone try these tests on a windows machine before I go further ?

You still haven't done the other part: use Win32 APIs EnumSystemCodePages/ GetCPInfo/WideCharToMultiByte instead of accessing Wine internals directly. -- Dmitry.
