gdiplus: DEFINE_GUID

[Adam Rimon]

Hi there,


I wanted to implement some gdiplus functions, but for this I need the 
GUIDs of some properties.

I took the GUIDs from 
http://www.reactos.org/generated/doxygen/db/de2/gdiplusimaging_8h-source.htm...,

but when I tried to compile gdiplus with the new gdiplusimaging.h with 
many DEFINE_GUID's,

the compiler kept complaining that "hidden symbol `FrameDimensionPage' 
isn't defined".


What did I do wrong?

Don't copy code from ReactOS and submit it to Wine.

Adam:

It is not permitted (and I don't know or care to know the reason why), 
code from the ReactOS project and attempt to put it in the Wine project.

You will have to make, from the ground up, new code.  However, if you 
attempt to submit it, these changes may be rejected in the future.

Well, right now I don't send it to Wine. I just want to define a GUID in 
gdiplusimaging.h.
My question is about adding a GUID to a header file and compile it, not 
about the GUIDs themselves.

Now the real question I have is, are you not allowed to ever
contribute code to Wine ever again even if you cancel your MSDN
subscription and swear before King and Country that you no longer have
access to Windows code....

I haven't had an MSDN subscription in a while but I think it would be very
strange that it comes with Windows source code. The most I have seen is the
crt source code from the Visual Studio Development systems (and there would
be the MFC source code too I suppose, but I couldn't care about that less)
although I never really cared to dig into the crt and only ever really got
into it more by accident when deugging my own code and single stepping into
a runtime function, which is mostly more a pain than anything else.

My understanding is that the fact that I had the possibility to look at the
crt code would at most prevent me to submit patches to msvcrt and friends
but
not to Wine as a whole.

Why an MSDN subsciption should prevent someone from submitting any code to
Wine
is beyond me, but maybe they changed the EULA of it?? (Which I would suspect
would not hold in court because of antitrust concerns).

Or did they really start to ship source code with it? I simply can't believe
they would ship ntdll.dll or ntos.exe or other core DLL source code ever.

MSDNAA Subscriber downloads like for university students contain the
source for ntos. Microsoft hired Dave Probert to put together the
Windows Academic Program and University Source Licenses where they
give away like 90% of the core system to push universities to use it
to teach operating system design. As I don't have a MSDNAA account I
don't know how much of the system is really there but the source
license terms are very liberal. i.e. You can learn from it but not
copy any code from it, any ideas you take with you are not
restricted,etc. I have a friend in the program so I will ask him if it
includes any of the Win32 api, but I doubt it.
