JFYI, I based my original patch on the information at http://www.uninformed.org/?v=2&a=4 (To enable NX support, the MEM_EXECUTE_OPTION_DISABLE flag (0x1) is specified. To disable NX support, the MEM_EXECUTE_OPTION_ENABLE flag (0x2) is specified) and Chromium sources: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/sandbox/src/dep.cc -- Dmitry.

Wine on cygwin
by dominik 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, I've just tried to build wine on cygwin in order to build the test suite in order to maybe find out why some tests fail on my machine. configure runs reasonably well, but when the first dll is being built, hell breaks loose. The assembler files generated from the .spec files are not accepted by "as". .section ".init","ax" yields a.0dtc3a.s: Assembler messages: a.0dtc3a.s:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `"' Then there is: .hidden __wine_spec_nt_header => a.0dtc3a.s:14: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.hidden' .type __wine_stub_EditAuditInfo,@function => a.iNk2s9.s:81: Warning: .type pseudo-op used outside of .def/.endef ignored. a.iNk2s9.s:81: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `_' and much more ... Are those Linux-specific assembler directives ? Does anybody have an idea on how to workaround those ? Regards Dominik

This changes the appearance of progress bars: now they look always "smooth" when themed. But on Windows they look always "chunky" when themed. -f.r.

Revised How-to for ODBC Databases: Jet/Access success
by Barry Bird 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hello folks, after email conversation with James McKenzie, here is my revised how-to Access 2000 can work with Wine, but this how-to doesn't require Microsoft Access. How to set up Wine to enable Windows programs that read and write to Jet (Access) databases using ODBC. I write such programs in C and use the API defined in ODBC API Reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714562%28VS.85%29.aspx They work fine on Windows and only require Mingw to be installed to compile and link them, both for console programs and those using Windows SDK. You then can write interactive programs in C which use a full-featured SQL database which comes bundled with Windows. No need to purchase Access. With the set-up below they will also run on Linux (Kubuntu 9.04) and Wine 1.1.26. Install Jet Service Pack 4.0 and MDAC 2.8 thus: winetricks jet40 mdac28 You need to update the registry to 'install' the Access drivers for ODBC. Under Windows, export from the Registry to a *.reg file the registry entry - HKLM\Software\ODBC all subsidiary keys and values come with it. You can carefully edit this file to remove drivers and DSNs you don't need. Import this file using the registry editor in wine: wine regedit.exe. To use Windows ODBC drivers, you have to override Wine's odbccp32.dll and odbc32.dll with the native versions because the Wine versions are currently wired directly to Linux's unixodbc. Change the default setting for these DLLs using winecfg: Select Default Settings in the Applications tab. Then in the Libraries tab, select each of existing overrides for odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll and edit them to be Native for Windows. Bring across the programs and *.mdb database files from Windows. If you need to set up (System) DSNs, enter wine odbcad32.exe this brings up the ODBC Data Source Administrator window as in the Windows Control Panel which you can use in the normal way to enter a DSN name, select its driver and the .mdb file. The programs should then run as they did in Windows but perhaps a bit slower with: wine Odbc-prog.exe I've tried this out on a clean .wine install and it works with my test programs. Barry Bird

Folks, I'll be on vacation next week, so you'll have to do without commits for a while. And of course there won't be a release either, 1.1.27 will be the week after, on August 7. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
