Gitlab News

Folks, As you may have noticed, now that the ARM64 support is done (just kidding), I've picked up the work on the Gitlab migration: 1. The Wiki has been moved to Gitlab, it's now at [1]. Existing URLs to the previous Wiki are redirected to the appropriate page. There are also separate Wikis for appdb, vkd3d and wine-staging, under their respective project pages. As part of the migration I've done some minor edits, but most of the Wiki is badly out-of-date, and could use some love. Help is welcome! Check the Writers page [2] for details on how to contribute. 2. We are now hosting the Mono project on the WineHQ Gitlab [3]. Please join me in welcoming the Mono developers to our community! 3. We have new hardware for the Gitlab server, which is now noticeably faster. Thanks to Jeremy Newman for setting this up! This also made it possible to enable robots.txt again so that our content is indexed. The next step will be to install new hardware for the Gitlab runners to offer more CI bandwidth. 4. The Gitlab issue tracker is currently disabled because it was attracting too much spam. I'm going to re-enable it, first for use by Mono, and then ultimately also for Wine itself. To fight the spam I'm planning to add an explicit user verification step, modelled along the procedure used by Freedesktop.org [4]. 5. As part of the new sign-up process, I think it would be a good idea to have an explicit Code of Conduct to spell out our expectations. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I propose that we adopt the Contributor Covenant [5] that many other projects (including Mono) are already using. Thoughts? Questions? Comments?

Unable to completely replace vkd3d with vkd3d-proton?
by zhengxianwei 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

I tried replacing Wine’s built-in DLLs with the d3d12.dll compiled from vkd3d-proton and the dxgi.dll compiled from dxvk. However, I noticed that Wine’s built-in D3DCompile2 still calls vkd3d_shader_compiler( https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/blob/master/dlls/d3dcompiler_43/compi…) which belongs to vkd3d, not vkd3d-proton. Does this mean that even in Proton, vkd3d and vkd3d-proton coexist, and it’s not possible to completely replace vkd3d? So if there’s a bug in it, I would still need to fix the issue in vkd3d rather than being able to replace it with functions from vkd3d-proton. Is that correct?

How could I use my own build vkd3d in wine ?

I want to try modifying and building vkd3d myself, but I’m not sure how to make Wine use my custom-built vkd3d. My development environment is Ubuntu 24.04 + x64.

How to use DLL files from vkd3d-proton in Wine?
by zhengxianwei 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

I am a beginner with Wine and currently using it to run Photoshop 23. I noticed that vkd3d seems to lack support for Tiled Resource, which causes Photoshop’s compatibility check to fail in displaying the correct GPU information. I found that vkd3d-proton appears to implement this feature, so I compiled vkd3d-proton and copied the resulting d3d12.dll and d3d12core.dll directly into Wine’s directory. I also ensured that the required d3d12.dll was loaded correctly. However, when launching Photoshop, it crashes when using certain swapchain features. Setting aside the swapchain crash for now, is my approach of directly using the d3d12.dll generated by vkd3d-proton correct?

Pending Reviews page

Folks, In our grand tradition of shaming people into doing work, after the Regressions page I'm proud to present the Pending Reviews page: https://source.winehq.org/reviews As with the regressions page, the goal should be to *not* be number one on the list. But feel free to congratulate Huw anyway ;-) Note that the list is a little overestimated, commenting on the diff counts as a review but simply adding a note doesn't, so you may see some MRs in your list that you have actually commented on already. If people find this thing useful we can try to make it smarter. Feedback is welcome! -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
