wine server protocol error running Notes
by David.Goodenough＠dga.co.uk May 3, 2001

May 3, 2001

I am getting an intermittent error when I run Notes under Wine (February drop). The error I get reads: protocol error: 0x8064159: copy_req_path: invalid length 51/0 Is this a known problem, if not where do I start looking to try to track down the problem? This only seems to occur during shutdown of Notes, and it returns control to the command line but leaves the Notes client window up on the screen, with at least one wine <defunct> process and one other wine process listed in ps.

Now, all I have to do is to find the tooltip bug, the Eudora combo display problem and the 2 remaining crashes and my toy test suite will be in as good shape as before :-) Gerard

Wine and NetBSD
by Bang Jun-Young May 3, 2001

May 3, 2001

Hi, For the last couple of weeks I spent some time doing porting Wine to NetBSD (there used to be a port but was too out of date). After applying patches my own, it has been successfully compiled and started running. The most serious problem occurs, however, whenever I try to run a Windows binary with it: $ wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe No built-in EXE module loaded! Did you create a .spec file? Obviously sol.exe doesn't need a .spec file to run. When/Why do I get such an error? Jun-Young -- Bang Jun-Young <bjy(a)mogua.org>

A few other strange crashes. Still talking to myself... I feel I'm soon one of these sad cases talking alone in the street ;-) I have found one way to fix a lot of the ugliness that the evil patch of 24 april has done; by doing : --- dce.c.orig Thu May 3 00:02:35 2001 +++ dce.c Wed May 2 23:49:19 2001 @@ -551,7 +551,7 @@ dce->DCXflags &= ~DCX_DCEDIRTY; hdc = dce->hDC; - if (bUpdateVisRgn) SetHookFlags16( hdc, DCHF_INVALIDATEVISRGN ); /* force update */ + if (bUpdateVisRgn) flags |= 0x8000; if (!USER_Driver.pGetDC( hwnd, hdc, hrgnClip, flags )) hdc = 0; and --- winpos.c.orig Wed Apr 25 01:28:52 2001 +++ winpos.c Wed May 2 23:49:01 2001 @@ -355,7 +355,8 @@ TSXSetClipOrigin( display, physDev->gc, dc->DCOrgX, dc->DCOrgY ); #endif - updateVisRgn = (dc->flags & DC_DIRTY) != 0; + updateVisRgn = (flags & 0x8000) != 0; + dc->flags &= ~DC_DIRTY; GDI_ReleaseObj( hdc ); if (updateVisRgn) I got the following results : Word viewer 32 bits, 16 bits, Lotus Notes (AFAICT), Statview, QuattroPro 1, and a few old 16 bits apps I have display more or less as well as before (some crud for WW32 that was not before, though :-/) Doing things in such a way is more conforming to the way they were done before - and it seems more simple that the SetHookFlags trick IMHO ;-) Gerard

Oops, I missed completely this part. This weekend I have browsed the wonderful Wine user manual for the first time , since I have now a computer with a working db2html - now I know what *is* the Wine user manual ;-) I have not seen where this info is hiding. Maybe it was in one of your (defunct) WWN. I tried to read them but I probably was lazy too. Btw, your successor has problems to get in the game; I noticed on LinuxToday that the last Kernel Cousin Wine was showing a 'slow week' - the week where Marcus posted CUPS support - IMHO the more interesting patch since months for all non-games apps. He is not following wine-patches and wine-cvs it seems :-/ > I'll try to give it a look later >on I see no reason for you to work on this rather trivial matter. All that is needed is to know the problem. I should have guessed it but I was probably too stressed by the idea of having this 200k patch to look at ;-( Now it's done, thanks for the tip. Gerard

Re: FreeLibrary() library freeing

Actually we still cannot dlclose builtin libraries; the change I made is to free memory used by PE dlls. Freeing builtins properly will require dll separation to be completed first. And once this is done we will no longer rely on glibc dlclose reference counting so the bug shouldn't impact us. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

If you remember, there are glibc problems with dlclose. Alexandre Julliard said that it was not a problem because FreeLibrary was not doing anything. So I guess that people with 'old' glibc could have now new crashes. Gerard

The app is trying to load a 16-bit driver, so giving it the 32-bit dll is probably not a good idea. Maybe we should simply rename wineps16.dll to wineps.drv? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
