What creates fake files?
by Andriy Palamarchuk March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

I need to test a fix for a bug on a clean Wine installation. After removing my configuration directory, running tools/wineinstall I noticed that new Windows directories do not have fake files with 0 length I used to see in my old directory (shell.dll, shell32.dll, winsock.dll, wnsock32.dll, autoexec.bat, config.sys). All these fake files have exactly the same time, the same as some directories (e.g. Recent, SendTo, which do not exist in the new directory). Obviously, all these changes could not be made manually by me. Do you know what application created these files/directories or I just dreamed all this up?

Philipp, thank you for response. I know how to create files manually. I wandered if these files and directories were created automatically by wineinstall script.

WineHQ.com moving today
by Jeremy Newman March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

FINAL NOTICE! We are going to shut down the old Winehq.com box today. This will happen at 9pm CST. At that time the new winehq.com box should be operational. But as with all DNS transfers, there may be delay as the changes propagate the net. If you can't get to winehq.com, use winehq.org instead. There will be no difference between the two domains. This is the final opportunity for you to contact me if you have any questions or comments before we move. -- __ _WebGeek/NetAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1842980 Yahoo: laxdragon

Thanks -- well done
by law＠redhat.com March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

I've been following Wine development for the last 6 months, mostly watching for improvements for the 2 Windows applications I actually care about -- Quicken and TurboTax. Quicken has been mostly usable for that entire time period; however it's behavior has significantly improved. Far fewer hangs, crashes and other undesirable behavior. I won't enumerate the problems y'all have fixed, but the user-visible progress has been great. There's still some rough edges, but the improvements have been huge. TurboTax was basically unusable until recently -- but when I returned from a short vacation and updated my wine sources, all the show-stopping issues with TurboTax had been resolved. Amazing. The one issue in both tools that I still need to check on is both consistently ran out of GDI space, which I've hacked around with some tweaks to gdiobj.c. There was a 3rd application I've been evaluating (RentTracker) which was also unusable in mid-Feb, but which appears to work flawlessly now. I just wanted to let you know that you've made great strides recently and your work is greatly appreciated. jeff

making snoop.c not suck
by michael cardenas March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

Snoop seems to me to be an incredibly useful tool, when it doesn't crash. Attached is a patch that removes some of the functionality from snoop, but makes it crash less. Unfortunately, I still get a lot of crashes preceeded by the failure of the assert ordinal < nrofordinals in SNOOP_GetProcAddress. I tried to prevent this by adding an if statement there and returning zero if ordinal > nrofordinals, but that didn't stop the crashes. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Does anyone know why the ordinal number or the number of ordinals would wrong?

regsrv from ReactOS (was Re: [wine-license] Conclusions)
by Andriy Palamarchuk March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

> 2. regsrv32.exe from ReactOS might fix bug number 408. Steven, I think the correct corse of action for you would be to take the bug or, at least, add comments with this information. I took the bug some time ago and was going to start to work on it. I'm lucky I have not started coding before you give the complete solution. Also, as Patrick noted, we can use any application, even if it is GPL. Could you, please, provide more detailed information to the bug. If you want you can take it. Does ReactOS have any other useful applications we can use (winhelp, notepad, regedit come to mind)? Thank you, Andriy Palamarchuk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Running SetiQueue on Wine...
by Ken Reneris March 4, 2002

March 4, 2002

Dear fellows, I have a small program called SetiQueue, that is an add-on to the popular Seti At Home project. There has been a lot of interest for various Linux/Unix ports of SetiQueue. Instead of doing such a port I would much rather get it running on Wine. The program itself it rather basic in it's OS usage and I am sort of surprised it doesn't just run on Wine. As not having Linux myself, I would be interested in knowing if there is a Wine expert that would want to work with me in getting it running. Either through changes in SetiQueue or Wine where ever appropriate. In the end I think this would help both products be more robust. In you have any questions or interest, just reply. - Thanks, Ken

VxD's and hardlocks
by list＠vmn.com.br March 4, 2002

March 4, 2002

Hi, I am trying to run a point of sale app on wine. It uses a hard lock on the parallel port from www.proteq.com . This hard lock is implemented as a proteq.DLL , proteq.VxD pair. I read the documentation and browsed the mail lists and understood that VxD's have to be rewritten to work in wine. It is impossible to run a native VxD due to low level implementation conflicts between nix'es and Windows. All VxD's are builtin so to speak. I understand that www.proteq.com supports linux. Therefore, for my windows app to work under wine without modification, I would have to create a builtin proteq.DLL that accesses the linux's libs written by www.proteq.com. Is this correct? Thanks!

Painfully slow server

The last few days the NNTP server is painfully slow for winehq. Is this due to the movement I read about, or does this have other reasons? It takes often several minutes to retrieve a single mail.

March 3, 2002

Hi, I'm a Delphi Developer, and whilst my main project I am working on at the moment works beutifully under WINE, the autorun menu doesn't. This is (I believe) because it uses a RichEdit control. I believe this is currently being worked upon, and I would like to be able to help - I should be able to by creating test programs in Delphi and running them under wine. I am not on this mailing list, so please cc me in on any progress reports / replys. I attach the standard output of wine when running my autorun program, in the hope that it might help speed bugfixing.

DDE Problems and Thread Execution Order in win16 - win3.1
by list＠vmn.com.br March 2, 2002

March 2, 2002

Hi, I am trying to run a 16bit windows app on wine. The app is broken down into about 5 diferent EXE files. The init sequence is something like: --- PDV.EXE -> starts up and calls DISP.EXE -> DISP and PDV communicate through DDE BD2.EXE -> runs ctree, a dbf database ... (other apps get spawned by PDV.EXE) If above sequence is successfull - PDV's User Interface get's completely built PDV is ready for user interaction. --- PDV has 2 windows and DISP has one. All the other apps run minimized. I can't get the APP to finish this init sequence. It either hangs with a lot of err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x4010030c "syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=0897 errors and/or crashes with an exception. The app runs fine untill it get's to the point where it spawns a second EXE. It seems to me that the execution of these processess is not happening in the same order in win98 and in wine. Could this be the case? I read all I could find in the mailing lists and the manual on this issue, specially wine-devel manual. A good example to demonstrate this is the sequence where PDV.EXE calls DISP.EXE and then tries to set up DDE. The code in the APP is: 1. Run PDV.EXE 2. PDV.EXE Calls DISP.EXE - DISP initializes 3. Set up DDE The code being run by wine is 1. Run PDV.EXE 2. PDV.EXE Calls DISP.EXE - Disp starts initializing and control is returned to PDV.EXE 3. PDV.EXE thinks DISP.EXE is initialized and tries to set up DDE. The call fails 4. DISP.EXE finishes initializing , does not receive a DDEConnect and just sit's there with no work to do. The sequence where PDV.EXE calls BD.EXE is similar. It seems that BD.EXE is not getting enough processor time to finish it's init sequence, and so my app hangs during the init sequence. I don't know how to test this. I have access to the source of these apps. If I compile them with debugging info, will I be able to see them in winedbg? Is there a call in win16 to yield the app's execution? Maybe if I called this often in my PDV.EXE code, things would work out? I have been at it for about two days and would certainly appreciate an insight. Please help me out ! Thanks, Miguel --- I would like to note that the app was not drawing it's windows correctly - the windows where gray. I thought this was due to the same problem as the init sequence but when I set winLook=win31 in the .wine/config file, this problem is solved. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: webmail.vmn.com.br

update on bug #11 and #435, newbie questions
by jasonp March 2, 2002

March 2, 2002

I'm new to Wine development and was checking out bug #11 (from "tasklet" meta-bug #406) I added some comments for it. It seems beyond the scope of a beginner type bug. See bug for details. Also, the latest build was having problems getting configure to recognize freetype which was already reported as #435. It has some more details now. Something else I came across: the most recent tarfile for CVS dirs, "wine-cvsdirs-20011226.tar.gz", is missing the directory for "wine/dlls/crypt32/CVS" Should this be reported as a bug? I was going to look at bug #323 (close stdout/stderr for wineclipsrv, ie. run as daemon) Any suggestions or comments for that? Wouldn't the system call daemon() take care of it pretty easily?

Also I have seen some of the values being -1 or other small values. Making the changes to spy.c and seeing what the natvie control does will be the key. Guy

Update: Agenda for wineconf 2002
by Michael Robertson March 1, 2002

March 1, 2002

We have two full days planned (March 15th-16th). The sessions will go from 9-5 on both Friday and Saturday. I think all of the international attendees are coming in on Thurs, so they'll be rested up to start at 9am Friday morning. Both days, breakfast pastries will be provided at the conference premises along with lunch. Dinners will be within walking distance on Friday and Saturday shuttles will be provided to our dinner spot. We're also planning on providing transportation from the airport to hotels on Thurs for our out of town guests. So a rental cars may not be necessary unless you're planning on extra activities on Sunday that aren't part of the conference. As for the conference sessions, the attendees are the speakers, so we're asking those in attendance to prepare a 30-45 minute presentation meant to educate and inform as well as spur on discussion. If you don't see your name on the list below, please send me a topic you would like to give a presenation on. We have a great conference venue lined up which will have plenty of meeting rooms and state of the art presentation capabilities along with internet access. To give a presentation, you can either bring a laptop to plug into the video projection system or you can email to me your presentation and I will insure that it is on a computer plugged into the projection system for your presentation. There are 3 areas that we'll be focusing on: Business issues - This will be a combination of presentation from companies talking about their business experience with WINE as well as talks on the non-technical issues facing WINE. Wine Technology - There will be some advanced topics as well as some more general overviews. Since (http://www.lpbn.org) will be on hand to shoot video of all the session, our goal is to have a video series that those newer to wine can view at anytime via the net to get up to speed. There will be a series of more advanced topics as well. Future of wine - These will be talks focusing on looking forward to technology and business issues confronting wine. Alexandre's keynote will set the tone and provide a roadmap for many of the discussions. The specific times for the speakers below have not been set other than Alexandre's keynote which naturally will start the conference. Here's the working list. If you see your name below and don't like the topic, let me know that people have requested we're happy to change it. If you don't see your name below, let me know and we'll do our best to accomodate you! -- MR Business Talks ----------------- An Unique Commercial Application for WINE [Cadlink Technology/Hawkes] Gaming and Beyond [Transgaming/State] ReactOS - Where it's at, where it's going [ReactOS/Filby] Corel, A Look Back [Xandros/Tranter] Crossover Strategy [Codeweavers/???] Macadamian - Making It As A Software House [Hatheway] Developer Funding, Who Pays The Rent [???] Wine Technology -------------------- Approaches to debug a random windows program different approach [Weigand] Development Model [AJ] NORM - The secret weapon [Codeweavers/???] Making Fonts Not Look Like Crap [Davies] Regression Testing [???] How To Improve The Debugger [Meissner] Maximizing performance of WINE [???] Package streamlining of WINE [???] DirectX [Kaaven] WINE as a porting tool [Jacques] API Standardization [???] Future of Wine ---------------- AJ - Wine Keynote to open the conference 9am on Friday.

Mouse and keyboard events in DGA2 mode
