Installing Internet Explorer without windows
by Boris Dec. 4, 2002

Dec. 4, 2002

I just tried installing IE 5.5 from setup.exe and it never seems to install properly without windows being installed or modifying files. It would be nice to install Internet Explorer without patching anything. I hope more people work towards that.

Adding support for xxx_test.exe all
by Francois Gouget Dec. 2, 2002

Dec. 2, 2002

When running the tests on Windows you can either do 'xxx_test.exe' which gives you a list of the available tests for this executable, or 'xxx_test.exe foo' which runs test foo, and only test foo. So I propose the following patch which makes it possible to run 'xxx_test.exe all' which runs all the tests implemented by that executable. Do others find this patch acceptable? Useful?

"not enough space in GDI heap" / forking vstlib programs
by Kjetil S. Matheussen Dec. 1, 2002

Dec. 1, 2002

Hello, as I just announced I'm developing a vst-server, that loads and runs windows vst plugins. But after loading and unloading a lot of plugins, I get lots of "err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes" errors. I understand that the cause of this error is caused by a memory leak in a windows program. However, in the vst-server, there is no way to control memory leaks in the plug-ins, as those are made by various groups and persons. So is there a way around this error. Doing a fork for each new plug-in perhaps? Is that safe? I want to do that also to avoid having a plug-in crash the vst-server. --

RE: [RFC] Wine headers
by Patrik Stridvall Dec. 1, 2002

Dec. 1, 2002

> The only thing I don't like in my proposal is the win32 name, namely > the 32. I guess Win64 will go in the same namespace, as well as win16. > This is confusing. What about winxx or even better winapi? Windows uses the same header files for both Win32 and Win64. It is Win32 if _WIN32 is defined and Win64 if _WIN64 is defined. On 64 bit platforms we can never get 100% Win32 source compabillity because of compiler problems. If fact we can't get 100% Win64 support either for the same reasons so I guess Wine on 64-bit platforms will be some kind of pseudo mode. So we probably should have the same include directory for Win32 and Win64. As for the name well I think I like "windows" best. > > > plus a bunch of other things (like making it easy to use other > > > headers for the Win32 API, etc).

Fwd: Re: [putty]Winelib support + patch
by Dimitrie O. Paun Dec. 1, 2002

This is a very valid question. Alexandre, do we support generating regular executables for the apps we don't necessarily need the wrapper stuff for initialization purposes? ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [putty]Winelib support + patch Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 10:17:18 +0000 From: Simon Tatham <anakin(a)pobox.com> To: dpaun(a)rogers.com Cc: putty(a)projects.tartarus.org "Dimitrie O.

OK, I've now read the docs and I understand this a bit better now. My next awkward question is: I can see that this is necessary for some apps which have C++ static initialisers, or which load libraries that have C++ static initialisers, but why does that mean it's necessary for PuTTY? PuTTY contains no C++, and as far as I know it uses no libraries _except_ standard Win32 API ones. Surely it should be possible _for these particular applications_ to compile them as standalone binaries? Or does Winelib currently only support doing things the inconvenient way?

Texture problems under Wine - more info
by David D. Hagood Dec. 1, 2002

Dec. 1, 2002

As I've stated in previous mailings, I've started having problems getting HalfLife to run under Wine - while at one time I was able to complete all of HalfLife - Opposing Force running under Wine, now I am unable to get the textures to render correctly. I have more information - I subscribed to Transgaming, downloaded the current WineX, installed HalfLife under it, and it works correctly. So, that would tend to exonerate my libGL, my system, and HalfLife, and leave only Wine as the suspect in the problem. So, the question is "What is the difference between the WineX OpenGL library and the Wine OpenGL library?" I hope to do more research on this over the weekend, but thought I'd post this now in case it rang any bells with somebody else.

SetWindowHookEx
by steve.lustbader＠philips.com Dec. 1, 2002

Dec. 1, 2002

My app uses SetWindowHookEx to install a WH_KEYBOARD_LL hook. Currently, the wine implementation tells me "fixme:hook:set_windows_hook system hook WH_KEYBOARD_LL won't work right" when I try to use it. I'd like to implement this so I can get my app to run, but I'm not sure where to start, since I don't know why it "won't work right." Any hints/suggestions? -Steve

Reopened a bug
by Dustin Navea Nov. 30, 2002

Nov. 30, 2002

I have reopened bug #15 due to the fact that the bug still exists to a certain extent and in a different form. When sending an IM in AIM with any recent version of wine (including a couple of days before the latest cvs snapshot), I can resize the window and when the buttons go to reposition themselves, they move much slower than the border of the window, and you can see them updating their position. Would there be any debug traces I could post to the bug to help resolve this? -Dustin

that I have tried and needed yes, only valves with "acute accent" like you call it, excuse my english.. :) And I dont understand what you mean by dead key... but anyway... in every linux app I can type that right, only the new wine version breaks that, but I know it was fixed on 20021031 cause it worked great.
