Re: Networking with Mandrake 8.0 and SuSE 7.1
by Steve Fox May 18, 2001

May 18, 2001

In my case I'm using Mandrake's 2.2.19 kernel, but apparently the straight unpatched 2.2.19 works ok. I guess I'll have to go look through the patches Mandrake applied to the kernel. Thanks for the response. Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc http://k-lug.com

I am on a token ring network, which I don't think should matter. I had the exact problem with SuSE Linux: starting from Kernel SuSE-2.2.18, wine doesn't work anymore, but if I use a self compiled "stock" kernel, it works again. It's a pity I know little of both Wine and Kernel tcp/ip, and I don't have time to check kernels and diffs... :-( I don't know about Mandrake, but SuSE distributes a tar.gz with all the patches they apply to their kernels. If Mandrake does something similar, I guess a few "apply a part of the patches - compile - test" cycle should help spot the problem(s). If anyone on the list has ideas on tests I could do to gather more info, I'll be glad to help (I still have SuSE stock kernels installed, so I can test differences in behaviours between different versions rather quickly) Ciao, Rob!

Documentation: lists interfer with the TOC
by Francois Gouget May 17, 2001

May 17, 2001

If you look at the documentation table of contents you'll see things like: Anonymous unions/structs Unicode 21. C library 22. 23. The 21, 22 and 23 are not supposed to be here. What I noticed is that they appear each time I have an orderedlist or an itemizedlist in the section. If I put them in a para instead of directly at the level of the section then I don't get the extra numbers anymore. So should I go through all the doc to make things look like that? <para> <orderedlist> ... </orderedlist> </para> Hmmm, I don't see this problem in the postscript version and DocBook doesn't say that the orderedlist elements must be in a para tag. So it looks like a bug in the HTML generation. Does anyone know how to go fix this? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape around here somewhere...

Networking with Mandrake 8.0 and SuSE 7.1
by Steve Fox May 17, 2001

May 17, 2001

Repost from wine.users since no reply. Thanks for any help. ------------------------- I'm running Lotus Notes 5.04a under WINE with one of the January releases and its been working great for months. However, any release since February does not seem to do reliable networking on my Mandrake 8.0 system. I can occassionally actually get into my inbox and even open up a message, but I've never been able to read more than one. Some cow-orkers using this same setup on Redhat 7.1 do not have this problem, but others using SuSE 7.1 do too. Does anyone have any ideas why only networking would be affected and only on select distributions? It stumps me because all three mentioned distros use glibc-2.2 and gcc-2.96 (SuSE may use 2.95...not sure). On a related note, another cow-orker who is using Mandrake Cooker (development distro) and his own compiled kernel does not have this problem. I am on a token ring network, which I don't think should matter. -- Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/ http://k-lug.com (Rochester Linux Users Group)

POLLERR and POLLHUP are legitimate results, and you definitely have to call the function in that case. POLLNVAL is not supposed to happen, unless there is a bug in the fd management.

DLL separation and PROFILE functions
by Ian Pilcher May 16, 2001

May 16, 2001

DLL separation has been mentioned quite a few times on this list (usually as the ultimate solution to a problem), but I don't think I've ever seen it actually defined. Based on my own misadventures in this area, however, I would hazard a guess that is essentially the conversion of all inter-DLL function calls from OS-based dynamic linking to the Wine DLL loading mechanism. Under this assumption, adding 'IMPORTS = ntdll' to a DLL's Makefile.in file (in order to use one of the PROFILE functions) seems like a definite step backwards. I think that the proper approach is to add the function in question to dlls/ntdll/ntdll.spec and make sure that the importing DLL lists ntdll.dll as an import in its own SPEC file. All of which is wonderful until you consider the following in ntdll.spec: ################## # Wine extensions # # All functions must be prefixed with '__wine_' (for internal functions) # or 'wine_' (for user-visible functions) to avoid namespace conflicts. This would seem to indicate that the PROFILE functions (in files/profile.c) need to have their names changed before they are exported. Is this an appropriate time to go crazy with grep and sed? (For example, PROFILE_EnumWineIniString would become __wine_EnumIniString.) -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================

Does anyone have a problem with the following fix to windows/mdi.c/CalcChildScroll? It fixes a problem for one product but I am not in a position to test it thoroughly. When measuring the union of the children rectangles only the visible children should be included: .. } else if( pWnd->dwStyle & WS_VISIBLE) UnionRect( &childRect, &pWnd->rectWindow, &childRect ); This stops scrollbars appearing and disappearing while resizing apparently empty mdi clients etc. Bill Medland

There is not much to go on in this information. I can't see this problem with any of my 16 bits apps, but maybe none of them use this kind of GetMessage without specifying a window. I'd suggest first that you compile message.c with optimization level O0 : it seems clear that the displayed instruction is not the one responsible for the crash; the crash happens really in *msg = qmsg->msg. Maybe having no optimization could give more accurate information. When you have done that, rerun and enter info reg and info local when the crash occurs. Also a trace with +relay could be interesting but I think that you know that since you post this tip on cemw often enough :-) Gerard

Missing INT21h functions

Trying (more in hope than expectation) to run an ancient DOS program under Wine, I get this failure: err:int21:DOS3Call int21: unknown/not implemented parameters: int21: AX 0f9f, BX 005c, CX 0000, DX 005c, SI 008e, DI 005c, DS 107f, ES 109f Sure enough, DOS3Call() has a series of functions, including 0fh, which are unimplemented. Is there any reason why these functions should not be implemented? The win31 sdk doesn't mention any restrictions on which INT21 functions can be used, neither does Schulman. Dave Pickles

__compar_fn_t Linuxism in dlls/wineps/afm.c

win32 binary DLLs -> Unix wrappers?
by Peter Duthie May 11, 2001

May 11, 2001

What I would like to do is take an existing windows DLL for which I have the SDK but not the source, and write/generate a C++ wrapper that accesses the code contained therein, and be linked with existing unix programs. Eg, say I have X.DLL, X.LIB and X.h Is there a way using wine that I can generate wrapper code (say X_wrapper.cc), so that I can link it with a unix program that I would write around the wrapper? Thus I would have the benefits of developing under the unix environment and libraries, while utilising a necessary proprietary windows DLL. Note, native windows applications that use this DLL work fine when run under wine regularly. I cannot find documentation for this in the mailing list archives, or the official docs, although Chapter 5 of the winelib users guide seems to be the right place to look, it appears to not be written yet. Can anyone please direct me to relevant documentation/examples/code? Thanks, -peter
