Lotus Notes and wine and RedHat 9
Hi I apologize in advance for hitting the developers list. IANAD... I had been running wine on 7.2 with Lotus Notes 5.0.11 successfully. I made the unfortunate discovery about RH9 and threads and wine a little too late after upgrading to RH9. I will be more careful next time... Anyways, I downloaded the source (2003-05-08), and managed to configure with --with-nptl (as at http://www.winehq.org/index.php?issue=164#Wine%20&%20RedHat%209.0) make dep, make and make install it. (I am closer to a newbie than a developer, so this was a major achievement!). But I ran into a problem that has already been reported at (thank you google) http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/05/0141.html (the issue was unresolved. Kevin rolled back to a previous wine source from 5/1/2003). As with that post, there had been no changes to the install in the wine directory. The Lotus Notes splash screen comes up. The background for Notes itself comes up. The password box appears, and the error happens when I punch in the password and hit OK. I noted the post by Uwe at http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/05/0144.html , but Uwe was hinting at my newbiness with "Do you know how to integrate this in wine? If not, tell me to send you a patch for testing." The answer to both is No. Even if I received a patch, I wouldn't have a clue. I am willing to try, but would llikely need some hand holding...like which file, where it's located etc... Again, apologies for hassling the devel list, I'm out of my depth here, but I will help if I can. TIA ws PS: hope this helps someone else: - after initial install and attempting to run an app thru wine, it 'hung' at the end of the font 'registration' (not sure it that is the right term), ie once it had got to 100%. X was running at about 70% cpu and wine at 30%. Eventually I ctrl-c'd it and rebooted. - after trying again, i received an error about winedefault.reg. Googling for this didn't help me locate where it was. But it was in the most obvious place. The root of the source download. Ran regedit winedefault.reg - then ran into the above. PPS - words of encouragement. Notes is my last tie to Windows and wine is my saviour! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Instant Messenger now available on Australian mobile phones.

Hallo, it boiled down that Andi added a lot of functions in the user32 spec file, with no implementation provided. These functions are mostly only implemented in recent windows version, and Notes has to cope with these functions not available. But as we added them in the spec file, this request will be granted, but later fails when this function should be executed. I notified Andi, but got no feedback so long.

Perhaps a patch should be sent that comments out these functions in the spec file until there are implementations of them? -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

It seems like Alexandre already cared... Fortunately :)
I'm afraid that I didn't reply because it was a bit difficult: my WD subscription had bounced once again, so I didn't receive the relevant traffic, so I couldn't read it properly. So I finally had enough and made the mailing list bouncing settings yet more relaxed. (I mean come on, I've had my subscription bounce about 6 or 7 times already, so I was REALLY fed up enough to be ripe for a change...) -- Help prevent Information Technology Fascism! - before it's too late... http://www.againsttcpa.com
