Now, why is it always set? It comes from this patch (http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2001/11/0114.html) applied nearly one year ago. Alternatively, the other way is to reference foo.u.bar instead of foo.bar. And actually, that's the way it's done in the rest of programs/. (Verified: it compiles correctly). Vincent

Re: int21 move a0-a7
by Jukka Heinonen Nov. 10, 2002

Nov. 10, 2002

Patch a1 is wrong and must not be applied. Function 0x0c is really a recursive call and cannot be handled this way. Simple fix would be to call DOSVM_Int21Handler from function 0x0c handler after AH register has been modified (and lets add a detailed comment here this time so everybody understands what 0x0c really does...). Call me blind, but I fail to see how DOSCONF_config gets initialized after patch a2. This set of patches break DOS3Call and calling INT21 using VXDs and DeviceIoControl. I have no idea how much these interfaces are used but I guess this will be fixed in a future patch? Actually the same problem exists with all those interrupt handlers that can be invoked through VXDs. However, other handlers do still work because I have not yet posted patches that touch those handlers. I already know how to fix this issue but I want to work slowly and wait until pending interrupt patches either get applied or rejected before posting anything new. Nogs patches already modify the same files as my patches and I want things to stabilize a bit. Anyway, I don't have time for reviewing patches of this size; those above comments were produced by quickly scanning through the patches and they were really easy to spot. I give up and leave fixing int21 stuff to Nog. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Just so people don't double up, I'll let everyone know I'm working on a CHM viewer. Although I still havn't worked out how I will do the actual HTML viewing, my first priority is to actually build code to parse the file :) I might even ponder implementing a simple IWebBrowser implementation based off of Konq-Embedded/khtml, which would be -extremely- easy... and best of all, light-weight (there is NO way I'm going to install Mozilla/Win32 to have large portions of WINE working, I can't afford the diskspace!) Of course the whole GPL vs LGPL thing is a bit of an annoyance. - Ender

Re: ddraw fix

Nov. 10, 2002

> Probably application bug: it called DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt > with .bottom > 36000, seems like DirectDraw sanitized the values. Well, I would prefer the fix to be different... For example, it seems to be valid to have negative top values as long as 'bottom - top' is valid (as it seems that DDraw will clip the blit for you). Problem is that if negative top is valid, then bottom being bigger than dwHeight should be valid too. And your patch will thus prevent this case to work. Did you try to simply return an error message (instead of doing the assert) to see if you see any graphical glitches ? Anyway, I am installing Mingw + the DirectX SDKs to do some test apps on a Win2K laptop. I will try this case to see if I manage to see what real Windows does.

This is what I did. the gcc included in dev-c++ is a statically linked that doesn't need the cygwin1.dll to run. But that I looked particularily at compiling cygwin under wine.

Resolving winelib dll dependencies
by Nix N. Nix Nov. 10, 2002

Nov. 10, 2002

I have an application that consists of a single DLL and the EXE. I have the sources required for the DLL in one directory and I have used winemaker --dll to create the infrastructure for building the winelib dll. It worked. So, now, I have "nix_ctls.dll.so". My problem is that I cannot, for some reason use nix_ctls.dll.so as I would, say comctl32.dll.so . What I mean is this: The sources for the EXE are in another directory. Both are subdirectories of the "project" directory. The name of the EXE is supposed to be "iconmake.exe", if it were compiled under Windoze. So, naturally, my Makefile contains a setting called "iconmake_DLLS". To this setting I have appended "nix_ctls.dll" and to the "iconmake_DLL_PATH" I have appended "-L../nix_ctls". This makes everything work, except the spec thing. This is what that one says: gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I../common -I. -I/usr/wine/include/wine -o iconmake.spec.o iconmake.spec.c gcc -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic -o iconmake.so dlg_box.o filedlgs.o mdi_icon.o ../common/helper.o ../common/debugmsg.o ../common/instance.o ../common/dynarray.o mdichild.o toolbars.o iconmake.spec.o -L/usr/wine/lib -lwine -lwine_unicode -lwine_uuid -lm dlg_box.o: In function `PickIconDlg': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/dlg_box.c:396: undefined reference to `InitPicPick' mdichild.o: In function `ChildWndProc': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/mdichild.c:86: undefined reference to `InitEditorWindow' toolbars.o: In function `CreateTheRebar': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/toolbars.c:23: undefined reference to `InitColourControl' Where do I specify "nix_ctls.dll" and the corresponding path "../nix_ctls" in the Makefile so that it will be added to this command as it is added to the command before it, which is: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/wine/lib:/usr/wine/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../nix_ctls" /usr/wine/bin/winebuild -fPIC -o iconmake.spec.c -res mdi_icon.res -L/usr/wine/lib -L../nix_ctls -L/usr/wine/lib/wine -ladvapi32.dll -lcomdlg32.dll -lgdi32.dll -lkernel32.dll -lodbc32.dll -lole32.dll -loleaut32.dll -lshell32.dll -luser32.dll -lcomctl32.dll -lnix_ctls.dll -lwinspool.drv -m gui -exe iconmake dlg_box.o filedlgs.o mdi_icon.o ../common/helper.o ../common/debugmsg.o ../common/instance.o ../common/dynarray.o mdichild.o toolbars.o This command works fine, because the library paths and -l settings are all there. Thanks for your help.

Fix for bug #688 (documentation building)
by Vincent Béron Nov. 10, 2002

Nov. 10, 2002

This one I'm not sure which one is better. So I include both patches, but only one should be applied. Functionnally, both produce the exact same html files, although the fix1 creates (by the system's db2html) a directory with images (which are unused). So I'd tend to go with fix2. Please comment, and I'll post the good one to wine-patches. Vincent

RFC: rpcss skeleton prototype #2
by Greg Turner Nov. 10, 2002

Nov. 10, 2002

This one implements "pseudo-fork" behavior, a main workhorse loop, pseudo-debug log emitter, and command-line interpretation. In particular I'm looking for comments/criticism/flames/etc for: o my handling of NO_NAMELESS_STRUCT... works for me, but how correct will this be, say, under MSVC with Microsoft headers? o I differentiate between "server mode" and "lazy mode"... In lazy mode I assume that I'll have at least one incoming connection (if not I time out after 20 minutes); after that, once all endpoints are unmapped (all RPC-specific code is unimplmented, but this is what RPCSS_empty() is supposed to detect) I time out after a short delay (20 sec.)

Re: int21 move a8

Again, no full review, just quickly browsed through the patch. I have a feeling that I have just scratched the surface regarding this patch series and it would need a full review before it can be accepted. Function 0x40 change in winedos/int21.c breaks DOS VGA text console. Function 0x3f handling drops WIN16_hread which used to check for segment size. That check seemed to be for running buggy Win16 programs. At least I wouldn't have courage to delete this kind of checks. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Would it be possible to generate automatically those keys with a call to GetVersionEx or something similar? Vincent

Re: GetCurrentObject
by steve.lustbader＠philips.com Nov. 9, 2002

Nov. 9, 2002

GetCurrentObject returns 0, but as far as it knows, it is returning successfully. This is because in the line case OBJ_BITMAP: ret = dc->hBitmap; break; dc->hBitmap is 0, although dc is a valid DC. The HDC that is passed to GetCurrentObject to get dc is obtained by calling CWindow::BegingPaint(PAINTSTRUCT *) from a class derived from ATL's CWindow. I'm guessing that this is where the problem is probably coming from - the app is written in C++ with ATL. -Steve I've seen this occur when wine frees a gdi handle it shouldn't. Check that the OBJ_BITMAP handle is really valid. Also wierd stuff can occur if the app expects a HDIB but we provide it a HBITMAP... or vice versa.

You could come up with quite a few jokes with that. heh, true. It doesn't look good with the first letter capitalized, at least imho, and probably wouldn't alter the impression non-initiates would get. I tried putting "windows emulator" underneath, but it looks a bit out of place and kind of reduces the impact. It also makes it harder to scale down, at 50% of the size you can still read the "works with wine" text, but not the "windows emulator" underneath. It might also piss off people who say "Wine is not an emulator" :) Actually, letting people make jokes about it might be a good thing - I doubt many people would actually take it literally and assuming they do find out, if they're talking and joking about it, they're more likely to remember it too.

wine button
by Mike Hearn Nov. 9, 2002

Nov. 9, 2002

Here is my first attempt. I'm hardly an ace designer, so feel free to criticize, tell me to junk it etc. I did try at first to make a browser style button, but it was very hard to make the wine logo fit in a way that didn't look odd, as it's largely a vertical type of logo. Also, is the Windows logo usable? I'd assume it's trademarked or something, but i've seen the 4 colour blocks used in for instance icon overlays in KDE. If it's thought that this is too large, I can either scale it, or try and make another from scratch that is more button sized. thanks -mike

Wine 0.9 TODO v0.1
by Dimitrie O. Paun Nov. 9, 2002

Nov. 9, 2002

This is based upon the Wine 0.8 TODO v0.2 send earlier to the list. It is important to get a comprehensive list of what needs to be done, in order to have a successful 0.9 release. This includes all things Wine-related, not only the code. I can not do it alone -- I need your input. Before I start, a quick reminder for the 0.9 criteria: -- Users can start using Wine -- works well for a fair number of apps -- no MS DLLs required (from real Windows) -- User facing stuff (website, docs, etc.) are in a decent state, to avoid scaring them away What is NOT in 0.9: -- stable server protocol (no binary compatibility) -- DLL separation (phase 2) Please review it, and let me know if: - I've left something out - Something is in, and it doesn't belong in here (for 0.9 that is) - I have put your name on a task you are not working on - I have NOT put your name on a task you are working on - You have a status update (if you're working on something) - You want to start working on some of these. Comments, flames, suggestions, are appreciated, as always. A. WineHQ work (Beta at: http://lostwages.winehq.org) 0. Website redesign [IN PROGRESS] - worker: Jeremy Newman <jnewman(a)codeweavers.com> 1. Reorganize the navigational menu [BETA] - wine-devel consensus merged into new site 2.

Rework the FAQ interface [IN PROGRESS] - workers: Dimitrie Paun, Keith Matthews, Thomas Wickline) 4. Enlist some 'official' distribution maintainers [TODO] (at the minimum RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake, Debian) 5. Create nice page with apps that run virtually flawless [IN PROGRESS] They should not require MS dlls, tricks, etc. to run - worker: Carlos <clozano(a)andago.com> B. Documentation work 0. We need to first figure _what_ is out of date. [TODO] 1. Convert man pages to SGML [TODO] 2. Move CVS docu from User Guide to Devel Guide [TODO] C. Wine configuration 0. Merge configuration into the registry [TODO] 1. Write control panel applets for editing it [TODO] 2. Have decent defaults so we can start control panel without prior configuration [TODO] 3. Have wizard like app to autoconfigure wine [TODO] WineSetupTk proposed by Jeremy White <jwhite(a)codeweavers.com> 4. Make Wine's DLLs register themselves to avoid manual merging of the winedefault.reg [TODO] 5. Write .inf script to setup a new Wine installation [TODO] 6. Have a wineboot script for RunOnce stuff [IN PROGRESS] - worker: Shachar Shemesh <wine-devel(a)sun.consumer.org.il> D. Stabilize utilities 0. Get rid of the init directive from .spec files [DONE] - worker: Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.com> 1.

This still won't work if Dos3Call is called directly before winedos.dll has been loaded. If this is fixed, I don't see any reason why this patch couldn't be applied. This reminds me that int21 handling is quite messy. Interrups call first DOSVM_Int21Handler and might be chained to Dos3Call. But, if you call Dos3Call directly, execution does not go through DOSVM_Int21Handler. This causes some code duplication and makes things like dosconf unnecessarily complicated. I was hoping that I could leave this stuff to its current state until I had cleaned up other interrupts. Simple solution would be to make Dos3Call load winedos.dll and call DOSVM_Int21Handler through function pointer, move all common code from old Dos3Call to DOSVM_Int21Handler and move code that is difficult to handle in winedos to INT_Int21Handler which would be chained to from DOSVM_Int21Handler when a few selected functions need to be emulated. But this requires lots of work because each int21 function must be separately evaluated in order to see how it must be emulated to properly support both Win16 and DOS; first step would probably just add check if(DOSVM_IsWin16()) to each DOSVM_Int21Handler function and chain to INT_Int21Handler if true. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Fun projects

Folks, It's Friday, I'm out of my meetings, weather is superb here in Toronto (so I'm gonna go for a ride on my bike); this calls for some lighter, more entertaining stuff. So, if someone feels like doing something fun, here is a list of interesting Wine-related projects: 1. compile & run Wine under Cygwin (in Windows) This is too cool for words, when it's going to work. It will stress the heck out of Cygwin (good test case), improve out portability 2. compile & run Cygwin under Wine (in Linux) This is also way cool, being the complement of 1. It will stress Wine a lot (another good test case), improve Cygwin portability 3. compile wxWindows/QT/Gtk+ (in Linux), under Wine All of these libraries compile under Windows. So they should compile under Wine just fine. Another superb test case for Wine. 4. make a ghostscript driver that uses Wine to print When we are going to support native Windows printer drivers, this is going to allow ghostscript to use any of the existing gazillion printer drivers out there. 5. compile OSS apps that compile under Windows under Wine This includes stuff like Mozilla, Gimp-Win32, etc. Lots of these are around, many of them hosted at http://sourceforge.net In fact, imagine if we get 3 done, and we can get all KDE/GNOME working in Wine! (I know it's not easily possible, but just the possibility is there :)) And yeah, don't ask me 'why would you want to do that?'. The answer is: Because We Can! :) Really folks, just think how cool these are! ;) Comments, suggestions, additions, are welcome. -- Dimi.
