Look at Picasa for Linux, which really does package pretty much a whole Wine with the app. (I just run the Windows version in my system Wine ;-) ) So it won't be smaller, but it will be a single package. Are there notes anywhere on how Picasa packages Wine? - d.

strange git object

while updating my git tree, I ran (actually not finished downloading) this pack: Resuming fetch of pack 119463f192a563f17ac18ff9b717fbe57199eed7 at byte 95266539 which size looks quite enormous to me... any idea of what's going on ?

Re: wined3d [try 2]: SetDepthStencilSurface is always called when AutoDepethStencilBuffer is enabled

You're using the d3d9 (or d3d8) device as parent for the depth stencil, which isn't correct. This would mean that GetDepthStencilSurface returns an IDirect3DDevice9 instead of an IDirect3DSurface9, which will obviously lead to troubles. You'll have to use a callback function similarly to the CreateDevice callback to tell d3d8 / d3d9 to create one of their surface structures and call wined3d to create a wined3d surface.

Sure, you can just copy the full wine install into the wineprefix you created for your game, e.g. I usually put a "wine" folder next to the drive_c into my wine prefix for that. Then just make yourself a startup script for you game in which you set you PATH to search "$WINEPREFIX/wine/bin" first. This is basically how PlayOnLinux does it. Hope that helps -Tim

GSoC 2009
by Tim Felgentreff 29 Mar '09

Hi, I'm currently an IT student in Germany in my 2nd year. I'd like to help out with wine during the summer of code. I have never done any dll development apart from a little messing with the windows research kernel, so I'd rather work on something else. I would love to work on control panel applets or the wine config tool as in the project ideas, however, theming and the test suite would be two other things I'd be interested in. It would be great if you could give me some pointers as to where my help would be appreciated most so I dig a little deeper into that for a couple of days before I write my proposal. Regards, Tim

Given that 1) win32 openwatcom works, 2) presumably it works correctly under wine (or relatively easy to check that if it isn't), then any difference in behavior/code-generation between win32 openwatcom under wine and native linux openwatcom working as a cross-compiler is either a bug or inconsequential, then it should be relatively straight forward to check? It is not a trivial amount of work - compiling a bunch of random code under win32 openwatcom and cross-compiling and compare, and account for any difference if there is any - but would work well as a 3-month GSoC project?

But win32 openwatcom works under wine's cmd. :-). I don't know how well native linux openwatcom works as a cross-compiler, however, but that probably doesn't matter for this discussion?

Re: [3/4]winemaker: add workspace-parse function
by Francois Gouget 28 Mar '09

This one is wrapped also (which is only logical). There are two other problems: * there's the same case sensitivity issue as in the project parsing code. Using search_from() in the same way should fix it. * also it assumes that the project file is in the current directory. In other words, the following does not work: winemaker Chap03/HelloWin/HelloWin.dsw -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Demander si un ordinateur peut penser revient à demander si un sous-marin peut nager.

Re: [2/4]winemaker: add project-parse function

This one is wrapped too. But the main problem is that it does not handle case fixes. This can be fixed by applying the attached patch on top of it. With this, if you go test with the Programming Windows 98 samples, the following scenario works: cd Chap03/HelloWin winemaker HelloWin.dsp -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Cahn's Axiom: When all else fails, read the instructions.
