Well I have only played with the shell32.dll and in any file in there except "shelllink.c" removing "unistd.h" entirely had no negative effect whatsoever. This means to me that it is not needed at all. The use of fork(), execvp(), and waitpid() in "shelllink.c" however seems to require the "unistd.h" header. I'm not sure if shell32 should be considered a core DLL. It seems to me rather not. The desired operation could be possibly achieved with the use of Windows kernel functions as well.

Effectively, they "laid off" solx86, but added "we may ask you back..." Not promising at all.... -r

AFAIK they have only said that Solaris 9 SPARC will be released before Solaris 9 X86. Of course it is not a good sign if you read between the lines but still.

Re: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
by Sylvain Petreolle Feb. 7, 2002

Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème persistant avec wineconsole. Dès qu'il est chargé le système ralentit et wine grandit en mémoire jusqu'à saturation de la mémoire swap.(256M ram physique + 208M swap) Le message "fixme:bitmap:CreateCompatibleBitmap got bad width 1939840 or height 2457900" me fait penser que wineconsole se configure mal. Y a t il un moyen de spécifier une taille de fenêtre ? En regardant le code source (registry.c) jai essayé de mettre la proprété WindowSize à une valeur très petite, mais le lancement en mode debugmsg +reg montre que les valeurs sont ignorées par le programme. Comme vous etes en partie l'auteur de ce programme, je pense trouver un peu de répondant... --- Sylvain Petreolle <spetreolle(a)yahoo.fr> a écrit : > Hi, > > Using wineconsole to try a command line program > like ftp.exe (runs fine whithout wineconsole), > it appears that wineconsole slowdowns the system > and use incredible amounts of memory. > > These are the messages that appear on the wine > command > line : > > fixme:bitmap:CreateCompatibleBitmap got bad width > 1939840 or height 2457900, please look for reason > fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x1001dc5,1) - > no > error checking or testing yet > fixme:bitmap:CreateCompatibleBitmap got bad width > 1939840 or height 2457900, please look for reason > > then i got the shell prompt, look like the process > had > end up. > (the processes didn't end up of course). > i must kill the processes (the 2 windows desktops > displayed are complete empty and > do not close when asked to close) > > Running it with --debugmsg +relay, I saw that wine > took a long time when running x11drv.SelectObject. > and the last line in the debug text is > X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server > shutdown). > (this is before I do killall wineconsole wine). > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et > en français ! > Yahoo!

On a slightly related note, is it possible that we compile Wine with the MS headers? What would it take to do that? If we could, we would have one more degree of freedom: Platform Compilers BinFmt Headers -------- --------- ------ ------- Linux gcc ELF Wine *BSD MSVC PE MS Solaris Borland ReactOS(?) Cygwin Esentially, most of the above possible cobinations should work (except, of course Windows-base compilers and ELF). If we get this level of portability, would be nice to set an automatic compile farm which tries all the possible combinations, and reports problems early, so they get fixed. -- Dimi.

Favor: I need examples of un or poorly documented APIs
by Jeremy White Feb. 6, 2002

Feb. 6, 2002

I'm working with someone involved in the Microsoft trial, and they are looking for some information from the Wine team. Specifically, they need clear examples of Windows APIs that are not documented, or cases where the actual working of an API is substantially different from the documented behavior. I've asked around CodeWeavers, and we had a few examples, but we're in a bit of a time crunch (48 hours), and I was hoping to ask a broader audience to pitch in. In an effort to keep this off topic traffic down, please reply just to me; if you like, I can post a summary of the results. Thanks, Jeremy

flaky regression(?) - patch.py?id=1012510895681951425038278
by lawson_whitney＠juno.com Feb. 6, 2002

Feb. 6, 2002

Good day! Something in this patch makes my app set This->bigBlockSize of its inbox to zero when it gets a big batch of mail. Of course, the app (and my laola-based mailbox reader) is then unable to read the file. AFAICT, that is the only byte that is damaged, and it can be fixed after, but it is annoying. The app never did this before the patch, and hasn't since I reverted it yesterday. I will work on refining my observations, and I expect I will find and fix the error eventually. I'm just writing this in case it may be some help to anyone. Lawson

Well, I'm not suprised. I'm not 100% sure how his last name is spelled. I usually cut and paste or more often, only use his first name. :-) > Since this is > supposed to be > an open conference anyway, and it's not a secret (most of the > mail is just > a straight dump of the webpage they link to anyway), I > decided to forward > it to wine-devel (but without the HTML). Hmm. I noticed people on the special invitition list (that get air transportion payed) must register by 13th February, 2002. It is only a week until then, they could have given us some more time to consider it, I think. Anyway, I'm slightly intrested in coming. Providing of course that at least a few of the Wine people will come. I'm not particularly intrested in travelling at least 12 hours by air to only talk to the Lindows.com people. Anybody else interested? PS. Does anybody know if a VISA to the US is required for citizens of the European Union countries (like Sweden)?

Sounds like your makedep is broken! It needs to recognise <> and "" and treat them differently! David
