Press: OsOpinion: Putting a Bad API on a Good OS

Hi, A nice article with a provocative title. What I like about it is that it addresses the main objection of Linux hardcore users to Wine (at least as seen from Slashdot): will Wine hurt Linux? But judge for yourself :-) http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/11297.html -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ f u kn rd ts, ur wy 2 gky 4 ur wn gd.

Re: Still more clipping issues - but getting better

I'm using Lotus Notes 4.6, and with the last updates wirtualy all clipping problems were solved. The problem now is that every time I type a character in the editor, the whole window gets repainted 8-) and sometimes I can't see the cursor or a text selection I make. How can I help? Ciao, Roberto.

Still more clipping issues - but getting better
by Guy L. Albertelli 20 Jun '01

Hi Alexandre, The latest commits (through "Clip parent client area when using the drawable from a higher level parent." julliard(a)wine2. 01/06/19 20:22:40) have fixed the problem mentioned in the previous email. However certain problems still exist. The attached JPG shows the results with the latest commits and the native control when the second band is deleted (band # 1). Somehow it never erases the band. This did work correctly in 6/1 CVS. Recreation instructions: Select RB_DELETEBAND and change the first zero (second line) to a 1 and send it. The second band with the ComboBoxEx should disappear. There is another issue with IE4 (one of my test programs). When a string is typed into the address line (a ComboBoxEx) and "return" pressed, the entire IE window disappears. IE is still running and by selecting the item in the GNOME taskbar, the IE window reappears correctly. Thanks a lot, Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>

Still clipping issues
by Guy L. Albertelli 19 Jun '01

The REBAR ControlSpy (as a simple test application) still displays clipping/drawing issues since 6/1/2001 even with the native control. The enclosed JPG shows some of the problems. The method for recreation is to select the Styles menu and then select the Recreate Control button. At the end of the redraw cycle the distortion is as shown. Note the partial combobox dropdown arrow just below the word "Control_" in the center of the screen. This seems to be due to an unclipped rectangle/too large a client area during the ComboBoxEx creation. In the 6/1 CVS version, you can see the same dropdown arrow but it is within the left hand control window not beyond. Note also the badly drawn text in the two listboxes to the right. If there is anything I can supply to help fix this please let me know. Thanks, Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>

Well, of course you don't have to use the complete configure and makefile generated by winemaker, you can just take the subset you need and copy it into your makefiles. But I don't see how a wine-config could help you do that. Also I don't see why you'd necessarily want to use the same flags to compile your winelib app that have been used to compile wine itself; in fact you may not even be using the same compiler. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Actually we already have winemaker that can generate a complete configure and makefile, so I'm not sure what purpose a wine-config would serve. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

hi just checked out wine from cvs today (exams are finally over ;-)), and tried to run WinMX (which ran fine, and still runs fine, using the precompiled cvs i have from june 9th), now with today's cvs i get this error: (i think it happens when the window for the tray icon is created...) <snip> trace:x11drv:create_icon_window created 280000d X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 89 Current serial number in output stream: 94 <wine exits> when i comment out the TSXCreateWindow in create_icon_window, the program starts up, but the windows keep moving about... i'm sorry if this is not the right newsgroup to post to, i hope it's not something i've done wrong regards, adriaan moors -- ADDING "JUST KIDDING" DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY TO INSULT THE PRINCIPAL Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 2F09

In _theory_ yes, but hardly in pratices. No sane court would claim that, not even, would I dare say, the one of Judge Kaplan of DeCSS fame. Of course Microsoft (I can't remember the link but search on Slashdot) do claim it in their FUD campaign against the GPL but that doesn't make it true. Whether the GPL:ed is designed to be a "virus" or not is one thing that I will not argue for or against, but copyright law defintely isn't, so I will be quite hard for it to spread in the real world. > And someone shipping Wine binaries may not be aware that parts of > it need to be GPLed, and they will get flamed to death on Slashdot.

Re: PATCH: Move 16-bit COMM stuff to USER, where it belongs

Code duplication can be removed later. No, I'm afraid it won't be fixed if it is moved to a separate file. Also the split is not going to help for dll separation anyway, since the 16-bit routines use the SERVICE_* functions that aren't exported. So if you want clean dll separation the only choice is to rewrite the 16-bit routines. Any volunteer? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

In theory any library that the debugger uses will also fall under the GPL. And someone shipping Wine binaries may not be aware that parts of it need to be GPLed, and they will get flamed to death on Slashdot.
