But the SOURCE is already under the LGPL which is compatible with the GPL so it doesn't matter if some part (whatever part) of the source might be required to be under the GPL. BINARIES might be required to be GPL:ed if and ONLY IF you enable the option. So it not really a problem for Wine AFAICS. > I don't want to debate the merits of that legal theory, Yes, we have debated this before.

SIGH. As you wish.

Wine installation troubles on Solaris
by Juraj Hercek Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

Hi, We have problem installing wine on solaris running on sparc. After some troubles we were able to compile and then partially install wine. Partially because, _$(WINE_ROOT)/tools/wineinstall_ script uses winelib's _regedit_ to register some entries in wine registry. But _regedit_ crashes. Here goes part of the output from _wineinstall_ script which tries to run _regedit_: ===========BEGIN OUTPUT=========== ... Created /home/user/.wine/config using default Wine configuration. You probably want to review the file, though. Compiling regedit... make: Nothing to be done for `all'. Preparing to install default Wine registry entries... Installing default Wine registry entries... err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap 00000000! Registry install failed. ===========END OUTPUT=========== Running wine alone (just to get help output) ends up in the same way - heap crash. Running "wine --debugmsg", the same... We used binutils-2.11.2 and gcc-2.95.3-toolchain for build process. Some information you could be interested in: ===========BEGIN OUTPUT=========== user% uname -a SunOS spruce.company 5.8 Generic_111433-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 user% ldd miscemu/wine libntdll.dll.so => /usr/local/lib/libntdll.dll.so libwine.so => /usr/local/lib/libwine.so libwine_unicode.so => /usr/local/lib/libwine_unicode.so libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000/lib/libc_psr.so.1 ===========END OUTPUT=========== My questions are: 1) Do you know the reason of the crash? (If so, please explain.) 2) Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? (If so, please explain) I'm asking because I'd like to avoid debugging... Thanks for reply! Juraj Hercek

VB app broke again
by Fabian Cenedese Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

Hi I recently had a problem with a simple VB app, available as project and exe: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/09/0627.html I tried again with today's cvs and now the app doesn't even start. There is just an error "not enough memory" and the program quits again. So some recent changes must have broken something. bye Fabi

Implementations of these and much more can be found in this patch submission, which was apparently never applied: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/06/0103.html You can probably try to extract what you need from that patch if you want more rpcrt4 stuff.

Re: winapi: new tool winapi_test for generating tests (again)

Sorry, I have applied it now. The only change is that I don't think we should have multiple generated_xxx.c files for each dll, we should put all generated tests for a dll into the same file, so I have renamed the file to just generated.c. I'll let you change the corresponding winapi part. BTW as discussed recently, if you could please do diffs against /dev/null instead of attaching tar files, that would make it easier for me (and may prevent your patches from getting forgotten...) -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: Re: [Version] in ~/.wine/config
by chrismorgan＠rcn.com Oct. 1, 2002

Oct. 1, 2002

I wasn't able to find any documentation on how the detection works in /documentation. Something is lacking as ie6 setup runs fine if if a version is set and complains about not having a current windows version if not. It might be reading a key that doesn't exist by default, maybe //software//microsoft//windows nt//current version although I didn't capture the trace after I set [Version].
