At the very start of wine these 2 files are empty/nonexistent => the registry is empty. To initiate it, you must import values into it via the program regedit. Default values that works well are in winedefault.reg. When you issue 'regedit winedefault.reg', this file is read and its values are imported into system.reg and user.reg. Now your debugger problem : you have installed a previous version some months ago and wine architecture changed. winedbg isn't at the same place as before. You have the old value in system.reg so wine doesn't find it anymore. running 'regedit winedefault.reg' will update your old values with new ones and set the correct location for the debugger.

This is the worst of both worlds. Either use Tabs throughout so that a tab equals an indent and so people can set the tab size to whatever they like or else don't use tabs at all and use explicit spaces. (The usual argument for using tabs relates to the fact that they line up with proportionally spaced fonts but I don't think that worries us does it; I almost always use a fixed font for code display). I would argue in favour of using tabs for indent if it were not for the fact that we already have an enormous amount of code that doesn't and I doubt if we would refuse code that didn't. > > 8 char indents (as used by netbsd) to tend to leave you trying to > pretify code in about 16 colums sometimes. > Made more likely if your style involves 2 indents for a switch > statement, eg: > switch (...) { > case ...: > break; > > David > > -- > David Laight: david(a)l8s.co.uk > > Bill Medland

Winelib Apps page
by Jeff Smith Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Dimi, I like the idea of color-coding the apps for their status. But if you are going to change the background, you need to change the foreground as well. Many browsers make links blue or red (and other colors for 'active' and 'visited' links) by default. In some cases, these clash with the background (blue on red). In others there is not enough contrast (blue on grey). Please find colors that work well and integrate that info into your stylesheet. My vote is for black for all. For example (please note that this is untested, so I may have indicated the wrong attribute for this case): .todo {background-color: red; color: black} -- Jeff S _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Personally I work hard at using four space indent and no tabs at all. (I have experience of working with a lot of code maintained by some people who work with a four-space tab and some who work with 8 and so am fed up with having to keep swapping between two settings. Therefore I try and avoid tabs.) However my own opinion is that one should fit in with the existing local conventions. You are right; provided everyone sticks to 8-space tabs then it doesn't matter. But if one only uses spaces then it doesn't matter one way or the other. I merely offer this as a suggestion for people to consider. Bill

The patch is in > Alexandre's queue, and it should make it in the tree anytime now. Hmm. Which reminds me. In theory we could do even better. Since Alexandre has to approve each patch we get a slightly larger "turnaround" time for "obvious" fixes like the one this thread is about. So why not have a special CVS tree (or perhaps branch of the current tree) for Winelib users where anybody of the regular Wine developers could check in "obvious" fixes for immediate use. Lets impress even more people of our quick response. :-) While this perhaps is 1. Perhaps something CVS is unsuited for (but Alexandre said we might switch to Subversion eventually). 2. Perhaps something that should wait until post 1.0 it might be worth discussing.

Whither SwitchToThread()?
by Sean Mitchell Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

My apologies if this is the wrong list for this question... it seemed the most appropriate on the list. I'm doing a proof-of-concept for my boss to demonstrate that we can port a large-ish application developed on Windows (using mostly crossplatform libraries like wxWindows, STLport, Xerces) to Linux using winelib to cover a few WIN32 API calls we've made. I've just started into it, and have compiled a dozen files so far, but ran into trouble with the thread code. I cannot find SwitchToThread anywhere, not even in the winbase.h header file I expected it in. There are some changelogs to indicate that it exists, and the symbol does live in libntdll.dll.so, but I cannot find a header file that defines it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

MS MediaPlayer
by Rajesh Akkineni Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Hi all, Just today i have joined the mailing list. I hope i can find solutions for my problems here. Actually i am working with MS MediaPlayer (v7 I think). When i try that progam with debugger, the program is stopping with some 7 to 8 hreads running..and all the threads are stpping in the method "ConnectNamedPipe" When I have searched the MSDN about it..i came to know that it will return only when one of the two methods("CreateFile", CallNamedPipe") are called. I have kept a Break point on the "ConnectNamedPipe" and the program is stopping at that medhod.. But when i tried to set a BreakPoint in "CreateFile" and "CallNamedPipe" it dose not find the method in any of the DLLs. In which DLL the both methods are present? Why i am not able to find their definition to set the BreakPoint. How to make the program to procede further?? Any one working on the same program? (MS Media Player) thank all for any help, Rajesh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
