App bundle patches for OS X
by Per Johansson 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi, I think I've reached a committable stage for the application bundle code I took over from Steven Edwards last summer. But there are some controversial parts so I figured I'd ask the list first. The patch extracts all XDG specific parts of winemenubuilder into a separate file, and there is also a new file for app bundles. Which one is used is controlled by a dispatch table and is choosable in the registry. The new code reacts to the same events but instead of a .desktop file an app bundle is created, start menu is replicated at ~/Applications/Wine/. Associations are handled by modifying start.exe to make it able to receive the file to open using AppleEvent, and an app bundle execing start.exe is put in ~/Library/Wine/Associations/. The actual file name contains the associated extension but the display name is modified to be the application that will be launched. It should work out of the box, after you've installed this patch and run winemenubuilder -a you should be able to right click a text file and choose "Open with notepad" (there's a cache involved as well so you might also need to remove the wine fileassociations key in the registry). Commits can be found at https://github.com/morth/wine/commits/appbundle-proper (original commits are on the master branch). The major controversity is in the start.exe code (commit < https://github.com/morth/wine/commit/ec68ac2b2abc0a1d4559eb5490b1f12b21000e…>). It uses a private API to access the AppleEvent containing the file to open. I choose this way because: 1. The only official way to access this information is by using Objective-C, building a proper Mac application. 2. Another option was to use the deprecated Carbon, but would also take a lot of code to finish. IMO neither of the two are good options, which leaves either doing it this way or to ask Apple to open up the API. Unfortunately I don't think Apple will respond quickly to such a request. Now that 10.8 is close (maybe even GMed) it's very unlikely to happen before 10.9, and perhaps not even then without backing from a major developer (I suppose the wine project might count as a such). I've made sure to check with configure if the functions exist before calling, but it is of course not safe in case they change the signature. OTOH, I don't think that is overly likely to happen. Another thing to note is that the app bundle script will copy some environment variables when created (commit https://github.com/morth/wine/commit/58773927eb7da431ba47923d66768cd129e4da… function). The ones copied are: PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH and WINEPREFIX. DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is needed or wine won't work much at all. PATH is copied because the default one is only /bin and /usr/bin, and on OS X wine is rarely in one of those locations but rather installed with MacPorts of fink or similar, which use non-default paths. Anyway, if I don't hear anything from the list I'll likely send in the commits. I suppose that will be a second chance to review them. Once again I'd like to mention that Steven Edwards did a major part of this code, thanks goes to him and also to the wine project as a whole, I really enjoy using it. Finally, I only work on this code once every few months or so, so if it's deemed that there's too many problems, anyone should feel free to pick up this code and make it done (it'd be nice if you notified me though). Regards, -- Per Johansson

Re-enable editing on the forum?
by Rosanne DiMesio 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

The main reason for disabling editing on the forum was the confusion it caused for mailing list users. Since the two are no longer connected, that is no longer an issue. Are there any objections to re-enabling editing on the forum? -- Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net>

Debugging wine/windows applications
by John Yani 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

I tried to run wine under gdb and failed. Using multiprocess gdb I endup with weird trace: 0xf7ffd430 0x7bc846f9 0x7bc8480f 0x7bc84855 0x7bc42a94 0x7bc433b1 0x7b8772f7 0x7ebab89b 0x7bc80014 0x7bc8005d Where 0x7****** addresses are not connected to any module. And 0xf****** addresses are from /lib/ld-linux.so.2, debug symbols for which I can't find. Can somebody explain what's hapenning? Running wine with winedbg under gdb fails with message "err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe" failed, status c0000022" Is there any tutorial on how to run wine with applications under gdb?

Policy for the Wiki?
by Kyle Auble 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hello all, I've been working on the wiki recently and noticed that a lot of out-of-date or redundant information is retained. For example, completed tasks on to-do lists are checked off and never removed. Isthere an unofficial policy of not deleting info, even if it may exist elsewhere (in the git repo history, wikipage revision history, etc)? Other instances might be stubs dedicated to features in development years ago, or pages on bugs that have already been fixed or triaged in Bugzilla.I know even page deletions can still be reverted, but I wanted to check first before cleaning things out more aggressively. If there are a few unwritten rules everyone likes the wiki to follow, I could add them somewhere as editing guidelines. While the topic's up, I was also wondering how moinmoin was chosen as the wiki engine. I couldn't really find a discussion on the mailing lists so I figured it was the best option when the wiki was first started. I can appreciate that it doesn't require a database and it's written in python instead of php. Allowing only inline CSS in tables causes some headaches, but mainly it can be really slow sometimes, especially when editing, and unless using wikilinks or going directly to a page, navigation is tricky. Has the possibility of migrating the wiki to a different engine ever come up? Or does the Wine wiki code just need some tweaking and maybe some tools? To be honest, I don't know if there is a better alternative (MediaWiki is designed for a very different use case and has really messy code). It just seems like something is discouraging even basic upkeep on the wiki, which kind of defeats its whole purpose. -Kyle

Building Wine on amd64 FreeBSD?
by Hilko Bengen 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Following Marcus Meissner's advice how to build a WoW64 setup (thanks!), I have succeeded in building a set of co-installable i386/amd64 Debian packages. Those won't make it into the "wheezy" release as I was just a bit late for the freeze, but I have uploaded packages to experimental. What didn't work was building the 64-bits of wine on Debian/kfreebsd-amd64 (Debian userland including GNU libc on a FreeBSD kernel): <https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php%3Fpkg%3Dwine%26arch%3Dkfreebsd-a…> Apparently the reason is that the uc_mcontext structure does not store the DS, ES, FS, and GS registers. After I made the changes below, everything compiled, but how useful is the result? Are those registers contained in uc_mcontext on "plain" FreeBSD? Cheers, -Hilko
