MS' hidden API
by Zhang Shu July 9, 2002

July 9, 2002

Dear wine developers, I have one question on the development of wine. Long(one or two years) ago I've heard that Microsoft got some hidden APIs in their products of various windows, and they use these APIs in their own applications. I wonder if this is still a problem on their recent product like windows XP. If it is, I guess wine will not be able to run such MS applications which uses hidden APIs. Is this right? And, is wine designed(or its goal is) to run all applications(including MS product and non-MS product) that runs on windows? Please forgive me if this problem has appeared in the past. I just joined this list a couple of days ago. Thank you. Regards, -- Zhang Shu

dynamic .fon conversion
by David Chow April 3, 2002

April 3, 2002

Hi, I am new to Wine develop, I wish to investigate and join, the following is the topic I am interested in. Does Wine develpers planning to implement .fon files support? I mean loading it dynamically? Since Xfree86 4 supports true type fonts, and most of the Linux distribution are now using XFree86-4 . We can actually load these fonts into the Xsever dynamically at run time providing we have some dynamic conversion between the font files. David

Unicode, i18n support
by Francois Gouget April 3, 2002

April 3, 2002

Bug 98 - Unicode, i18n support is quite vague. How could I flesh it out? For instance I am thinking that we could convert this into a metabug and have one sub bug for each control that still needs to be unicodified. So: * which are the common controls that still need to be unicodified? * are there other controls that need to be unicodified * do common dialogs need work? As usual the goal is to make the individual tasks more visible so as to give inspiration to potential contributors, and so that we have a better idea of our progress and what remains to be done. Another issue, which would fall more in the i18n part is BiDi support. What is the scope of this? Does it require modifications of all the controls like unicode? http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/03/0236.html Shachar, it sounds like you started working on this, should I say so when I create a bugzilla task for this? Even better, can I assign the task to you? (it can always be reassigned later, it's just a more flexible way of doing things). -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Broadcast message : fin du monde dans cinq minutes, repentez vous !

CreateProcess design
by Eric Pouech April 1, 2002

April 1, 2002

before latest Alexandre patch, CreateProcess was able to use stuff like: CreateProcess(NULL, "foo.exe --wine_opt -- --foo_opt") --wine_opt was seen by foo as options for wine, whereas foo_opt could be a command line option for foo (in foo, the command line would only be "--foo_opt") since last night, this is broken: - --wine_opt is still seen as a wine option - however, the command line passed to foo isn't cleaned up... we get the whole line "--wine_opt -- --foo_opt"... what should we do. I think Alexandre long term option is to really get rid of the options on the command line and use the WINEOPTION(S) env var (we could still have a wrapper script to do the conversion) should we adopt this right away or clean up the command line option ? as a consequence, you no longer can use any CUI program in the user/graphical mode, including winedbg - it still work as a unix console though A+

make test leaves 2 wine processes running
by Sylvain Petreolle April 1, 2002

April 1, 2002

Hi, Running make test with a desktop window leaves ok but 2 processes are still running and the desktop windows not closed. They cannot be closed when I use the cross or the close command, i must kill them. (don't have to use -9 parameter) Running processes are : /home/wine/wine tests/vartest.c /home/wine/wine tests/sysparams.c (wineserver is here) I tried to winedbg them, but got error when I typed attach : error 5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED). ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !

problems with the alt button and window switching
by Rizsanyi Zsolt March 31, 2002

March 31, 2002

Hi! If I change the window with keyboard (eg with ALT-TAB), then when I switch back to the wine window wine still thinks that the ALT button is depressed. I happens, because the key event of pressing ALT arrives to the wine window before the switch. And I see in the console (with --debugmsg +key) the next lines: trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent state = 10 trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent KeyPress : keysym=FFE9 (Alt_L), ascii chars=0 / 0 / '' trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent keycode 0x40 converted to vkey 0x12 trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent bScan = 0x38. trace:key:queue_kbd_event wParam=0012, lParam=20380001, InputKeyState=81 trace:key:TranslateMessage (WM_SYSKEYDOWN, 0012, 20380001) trace:key:TranslateMessage Translating key VK_MENU (0012), scancode 38 trace:key:X11DRV_ToUnicode (0012, 2038) : faked state = 10 trace:key:X11DRV_ToUnicode ToUnicode about to return 0 with char bbc6 trace:key:queue_kbd_event wParam=0012, lParam=c0000001, InputKeyState=1 That is the key state has been changed. And when I return to the wine window (by keyboard or mouse) it acts like if the ALT button were depressed. The solution is that the key states should be reset when the wine gets back the focus or loses the focus. That is more exactly in windows/winpos.c in the function WINPOS_SetActiveWindow when the hWnd is NULL ! That is the case when switching from a wine window to an non-wine window. So I have found the place :), just I dont know whats the preferred way to reset all the key states to not pressed. I have added the next few lines: --- oldwinpos.c Fri Mar 29 16:54:59 2002 +++ winpos.c Fri Mar 29 16:55:08 2002 @@ -1217,6 +1217,12 @@ if ((wndPtr = WIN_FindWndPtr(hWnd))) hWnd = wndPtr->hwndSelf; /* make it a full handle */ + /* reset key states when switching to a non-wine window */ + if (hWnd == 0) + { + InputKeyStateTable[VK_MENU] &= ~0x80; + goto CLEANUP_END; + } + /* paranoid checks */ if( hWnd == GetDesktopWindow() || (bRet = (hWnd == hwndActive)) ) goto CLEANUP_END; And now my problem is fixed. But I have experienced the same problem with the Control button (altough it is harder to reproduce). So maybe all the key states should be reset. So I would like to have this patch or something similar in wine. Best regards Zsolt Rizsanyi

WineLib newbie question
by Boris Buegling March 31, 2002

March 31, 2002

Hi all. I'm wondering how difficult it is to port an application to Linux with WineLib. There are quite a few N64 emulators with source code on Windoze and I want to port one of them to Linux, because there is no decent native emulator, First, is it possible that things which don't work well with Wine, work when they are ported using WineLib ? Second, how much work is involved ? Regards, -- Boris Buegling <boris(a)icculus.org> "Sleep less - live longer." - "Ok good, 1 down...

DIB engine
by Francois Gouget March 31, 2002

March 31, 2002

The DIB engine was discussed quite a lot at WineConf. I am now trying to summarize these discussions to update bug 421 - Implement a DIB engine. http://wine.codeweavers.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=421 Is the following accurate, complete, etc? Comments? Other ideas? Any volunteers? This was discussed quite a bit at WineConf. Ideas that were floated around are: 1. Have X export the required API --------------------------------- XFree86 4 has all the needed code, for all bit depths and layouts we care about. We could try to have the X guys export this in the form of an API ala Xft. Wine could then link with this library to implement the DIB engine (or dlopen that library). * Is the needed API already available? * If not, are the XFree86 guys willing to export it? * Almost everyone is using XFree86, but what about people who don't (embedded devices, Wine on Solaris...). We need a fallback. * We won't have to maintain that code which is a good thing, although it is not supposed to change much once written. * Will we be able to do all that we need with that API? Probably yes since it can be expected to match the X API quite closely and we are abel to use the X API. 2. Copy the relevant X code into Wine ------------------------------------- Since X has all the code and that code is under the X11 license we could copy it all into Wine. * This means we will have to maintain the code ourselves, although it is not supposed to change much once written. 3. Copy the relevant code from MicroWindows/NanoGUI to Wine ----------------------------------------------------------- MicroWindows/NanoGUI also has code that could help us bootstrap our DIB engine. We probably don't want Wine to depend on these projects but we could copy their code into Wine. * Are the licenses compatible? * Do they support all the bit depths and layouts we care about? * This means we will have to maintain the code ourselves, although it is not supposed to change much once written. 4. Copy the relevant code from GGI to Wine ------------------------------------------ GGI also has similar code. Again we probably don't want to introduce a dependency on GGI so the same questions apply: * Are the licenses compatible? * Do they support all the bit depths and layouts we care about? * This means we will have to maintain the code ourselves, although it is not supposed to change much once written. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Utilisateur" (nom commun) : Mot utilisé par les informaticiens en lieu et place d'"idiot".

Seems like the file isn't being created. (Uwe Bonnes helped me with this). But we disagree what part of WINE (or outside WINE) is wrong. The first part of the log shows a CreateFileA that is unable to create a file. This API works fine when the file is in the same dir as the application (had tested it). The second part of the log shows the last screen I get after start the program (MessageBox API). MFRTS32 is a .dll the program calls. We thougth of there too. But this program works under Windows. Everything is in the path. Both wine.conf and Linux. I could reproduce the error in Win2k this way: Created a set of programs (L1, L2 and L3) that will run one after one with conditions. If the field in L1 is fulfilled then we jump directly to L3. Else We fulfill the field in L2 and then jump to L3. In details: L1 would creates a file with a name if the filed is fulfilled an L3 NEEDS to know that name. If we had to run L2 then the file will be with another name and L3 will get data from that file. But the file ins't created in neither of the cases. So a screen shows up: "External path string <G-PATH> not found. File FILE-LINUX." That message is the same I get under WINE: "External path string <UPCW56-DEV-DATA-DIR> not found. File IYF029." Refers to a file (IYF029), that exists (located in the ./data dir) but was not filled with data it need to work, or incorretly filled. Both G-PATH and UPCW56-DEV-DATA-DIR are variables of a file that has a number of them inside. As here we use APIs I'll list 2 of them that are used within the function and their definiton, took from MSDN: CreateProcess CreateProcess( LPCWSTR lpszImageName, LPCWSTR lpszCmdLine, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpsaProcess, LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpsaThread, BOOL fInheritHandles, DWORD fdwCreate, LPVOID lpvEnvironment, LPWSTR lpszCurDir, LPSTARTUPINFOW lpsiStartInfo, LPPROCESS_INFORMATION lppiProcInfo); ........ StartupInfo.dwFillAttribute dwFillAttribute Ignored unless dwFlags specifies STARTF_USEFILLATTRIBUTE. Specifies the initial text and background colors if a new console window is created in a console application. These values are ignored in GUI applications. This value can be any combination of the following values: FOREGROUND_BLUE, FOREGROUND_GREEN, FOREGROUND_RED, FOREGROUND_INTENSITY, BACKGROUND_BLUE, BACKGROUND_GREEN, BACKGROUND_RED, and BACKGROUND_INTENSITY. For example, the following combination of values produces red text on a white background: FOREGROUND_RED| BACKGROUND_RED| BACKGROUND_GREEN| BACKGROUND_BLUE OBS.: We do NOT use this to send this kind of attributes. We DO send more data as we saw that it handles well. We also DO use this in gui applications. typedef struct _STARTUPINFO { DWORD cb; LPTSTR lpReserved; LPTSTR lpDesktop; LPTSTR lpTitle; DWORD dwX; DWORD dwY; DWORD dwXSize; DWORD dwYSize; DWORD dwXCountChars; DWORD dwYCountChars; DWORD dwFillAttribute; DWORD dwFlags; WORD wShowWindow; WORD cbReserved2; LPBYTE lpReserved2; HANDLE hStdInput; HANDLE hStdOutput; HANDLE hStdError; } STARTUPINFO, *LPSTARTUPINFO; ............... CreateFile HANDLE CreateFile( LPCTSTR lpFileName, // file name DWORD dwDesiredAccess, // access mode DWORD dwShareMode, // share mode LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes, // SD DWORD dwCreationDisposition, // how to create DWORD dwFlagsAndAttributes, // file attributes HANDLE hTemplateFile // handle to template file ); .................. Any thoughs? Thanks, Ricardo.

Improving the regression testing infrastructure
by Geoffrey Hausheer March 30, 2002

March 30, 2002

I know regression testing isn't as interesting as doing real development, and so I appologize with once again spamming the list with regression questions... As I've been writing tests (only for the last week or so), I realized that as we get a lot more tests, it will be very difficult to keep track of what is being tested, and what is not. I'd like to propose a list of which functions for each DLL are being tested, which file tests it, as well as any comments on the current tests. Currently, there is no great way to do this. I may use several functions in a directed test which I am not actually testing (for instance I've found it necessary to retrieve the page-size using GetSystemInfo, but my tests have nothing to do with this function, and so writing a directed test for it is a task for another day). Thus just grepping for which functions are used in a test is not sufficient. Also, I have found that some functions, or even specific task functions are very difficult to test, and so I've been leaving these out so that perhaps people ore skilled than myself could take a crack at them late (A good example is testing inheritance with CreateThread. It is a task that is beyond my capabilities at the moment, at least until I can find a good way to test CreateProcess...this would be much easier if Windows had something equivalent to 'fork'). In any case, I've tried to be thorough about commenting what I do and don't test, but it would be a lot more convenient if this information was more easily parsed than trying to find my comments intersperesed through the tests. So does anyone thing that creating a easily parsable list with the state of the current tests is this a reasonable thing to do, and would creating a simple file in each /tests directory with the information be good enough? If so, I can add one to my next test, and update it with what I've done so far. In general, while Francois' presentation is a good place to get started, I think it'd be a lot easier if there was a document off of winehq with recommendations on how to build, test, and document tests. Lowering the difficulty threshold, is more likely to draw more people to do so. Thanks, .Geoff

What color depth are you running at? My guess is that it is 16. If this is correct then try increasing it. It may be that the text is just not showing up because of this problem.

Unicode header control used by listview
by Uwe Bonnes March 29, 2002

March 29, 2002

Hallo, some application made from a zip archive "4957.exe", that uses the listview.c sample from microsoft floating around since at least 1996, uses commctrl headers and shows only the first letter of the text in the header tabs. This is caused by (wine) listview.c creating the header windows as unicode, but in the commctrl initialization the header class was registered as ascii. When the header text is inserted, it is translated to unicode. When it is read out for display, it is treated as ascii, as the unicode flag of the header control isn't set. So reading of only one character succeeds. So either we set the header unicode-flag when creating the header control in listview, or we register the header class as unicode. Appended patch switches the charset after creating the control in listview.c. Does this sound right? Feedback welcome!

cvs doesn't build .. my fault?
by Paul Millar March 29, 2002

March 29, 2002

Hi, A couple of things: First, I've noticed cvs didn't build for me anymore. The problem was because I removed the header files for ncurses (ie removed the ncurses-devel RPM). The file dlls/ttydrv/bitmap.c then failed to compile. Having had a look at the code in ttydrv, its fairly obvious it wont build without either curses or ncurses installed. A simple patch (wine-diff-1) provides a better error message. It shouldn't be needed (with the next patch), but might help bug finding in the future. But, shouldn't wine simply abstain from building ttydrv if a (n?)curses package isn't available? I've attached another patch (wine-diff-2) that does that. AFAIK, there's no knock-on effects. Second problem, when attempting to verify the build-failure on a different machine (hathi), it failed, but in a different part of the build! It only succeeded on the third machine (romulus) On hathi, a RH-7.0 (w/ Linus-2.4.3 kernel) I got: > make[2]: Entering directory `/disk/hathi1/paulm/wine/dlls/ntdll' > LD_LIBRARY_PATH="../../unicode:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" > ../../tools/winebuild/winebuild -fPIC -L../../dlls -o ntdll.spec.c > -spec ./ntdll.spec > make[2]: *** [ntdll.spec.c] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [...] After some investigation, it transpires that gcc on hathi (the RH-7.0 machine) builds broken winebuild programs (the unicode library was fine). The RH-7.1 (romulus) could "fix" the problem by recompiling just the winebuild directory. The problem turned out to be because I had old gcc-2.96 RPMs installed. After updating to the latest upgrade RPMs winebuild is built correctly, but wrc is now broken: it segfaults whenever its run. Can anyone with a 7.0 machine verify this? Cheers, Paul.

how to unsubscribe?
by Ludootje March 29, 2002

March 29, 2002

Hello, First of all I'd like to say I'm sorry to both you people with this. I tried some stuff to unsubscribe by going to the default urls of sourceforge lists etc, but that didn't helped. I went to wine.sf.net, but didn't found any public mailing list, and I can't remember where I subscribed to this list. The reason I want to unsubsribe (temporariliy) is that I'm off for vacation, and don't feel like reading tons of wine-devel mails when I'm back ;-) So, where can I unsubscribe, and resubscribe (for when I'm back)? Or even better, is there an option like with sourceforge lists where I just edit my preferences and check the box which says I don't want to receive any mails anymore temporarily? Thanks in advance, Ludootje --- Linux: because rebooting is for adding hardware. M$: because choices are confusing.

update in EDIT_WM_SetText
by Rizsanyi Zsolt March 29, 2002

March 29, 2002

Hi! I have this next patch: --- controls/edit.c Fri Mar 29 19:03:25 2002 +++ controls/edit.c Fri Mar 29 19:03:09 2002 @@ -4727,7 +4727,10 @@ * if it is multiline, or it is part of combobox */ if( !((es->style & ES_MULTILINE) || es->hwndListBox)) + { EDIT_NOTIFY_PARENT(hwnd, es, EN_CHANGE, "EN_CHANGE"); + EDIT_NOTIFY_PARENT(hwnd, es, EN_UPDATE, "EN_UPDATE"); + } EDIT_EM_ScrollCaret(hwnd, es); } Which fixes an update problem in my program. As much as I understand the program reeds the state of the edit on every EN_UPDATE event. And because EN_UPDATE was not sent, so the program operated with undefined values and could not find the words (its a dictionary program). I see, that the above code is somewhat weird, because two events are sent. But of course if the programs rely on it, then it has to be so. I will let to somebody more acquinted with wine and windows to decide whether this solution is ok. Best regards Zsolt Rizsanyi

wineinstall patch
by Chris Morgan March 29, 2002

March 29, 2002

This patch has some significant changes to wineinstall, the most notable being that we no longer let the user run wineinstall as root user and that we use su -c"command" to run 'make install' and to modify the users /etc/ld.so.conf file if necessary. I wanted to get feedback from people on these changes. Thanks, Chris *tools/wineinstall: Chris Morgan <cmorgan(a)alum.wpi.edu> Prevent the user from running wineinstall as root, add script commands so we 'su root' for installing and other commands that require root access. Fix modification time comparison of wrong file. Added missing sed line. Always 'make ' before we run make install so no build files become owned by root.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I did search the wine source code and found stubs for DisconnectNamedPipe and SetNamedPipeHandleState these two Win32 calls in dlls/kernel/sync.c. What is the purpose of this sync.c file. Is this file linked into Kernel32.dll? According to the Changelog in Wine relaese directory, the DisconnectNamedPipe was implemented on 2001-8-23. What does it mean when it says the function is implemented in the ChangeLog? These questions will help me to understand Wine community's practice and approach in resolving problems. Once again thank you very much.

server socket handling...
by michael cardenas March 27, 2002

March 27, 2002

I'd like to ask a question about the wineserver socket handling... this is from server/sock.c --------------- /* if a network event is pending, signal the event object it is possible that FD_CONNECT or FD_ACCEPT network events has happened before a WSAEventSelect() was done on it. (when dealing with Asynchronous socket) */ if (sock->pmask & sock->mask) set_event(sock->event); --------------- but, if an app is turning off it's event notification with an event mask of 0, this will cause the pending messages to come in after the notification is turned off and the event is already orphaned, if the app only has one thread for socket event handling. which is what happens in aol7, here: 8d3b068:Call ws2_32.WSAAsyncSelect(000002e0,00020076,00000000,00000000) ret=6cc0c73a trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent post: event bit 4, error 0 trace:winsock:WSAAsyncSelect 02e0, hWnd 0076, uMsg 00000000, event 00000000 trace:winsock:WSAEventSelect 000002e0, hEvent 00000000, event 00000000 08d3b068:Ret ws2_32.WSAAsyncSelect() retval=00000000 ret=6cc0c73a 08d3b068:Call ws2_32.ioctlsocket(000002e0,8004667e,44266e50) ret=6cc0c751 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent socket 000002e0, event 0000031c trace:winsock:WS_ioctlsocket socket 02e0, cmd WS_FIONBIO, ptr 44266e50 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent orphaned event: 00000010 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent orphaned event, self-destructing is there any way to make the pending events go through before turning off the event notification? -- michael cardenas lead windows compatibility engineer www.lindows.com "Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi

Announcing CrossOver Office - official support for Microsoft Office and Lotus Notes
by Jeremy White March 27, 2002

March 27, 2002

Hi everyone, I thought I'd let you guys know that today we have launched version 1.0 of our next product, which we are calling 'CrossOver Office'. Basically, we've tuned Wine so that it installs and runs Office and Notes very nicely, and we're selling that in a nice bundle. Since it's LGPL, the Wine code to do that will be coming back to Wine shortly. Please give us a bit of time; we're going to be overwhelmed here shortly, and I'd like to make sure that as the code comes into Wine, each developer gets proper credit for their work. I did want to extend an offer to everyone here, though. I'll cheerfully send any wine hacker a copy of both of our products for free (heck, we couldn't have done this without your help; taking your money wouldn't be right). Just email thanks(a)codeweavers.com and we'll send download instructions to wine hackers whose email we recognize. Finally, I wanted to dedicate this release to Aric Stewart, who has through some unfortunate circumstances not been credited for all of his hard work on Wine. Thanks, Aric - you made this possible. This is it, everyone. I think Wine is really ready to rock and roll this year. Yeeha! Cheers, Jer

Re: ntfs filesystem
by Lonnie Cumberland March 27, 2002

March 27, 2002

Hello Dante, I must be confused. I know about the different types of filesystems that can be made and mounted on the Linux VFS, but doesn't Wine allow you to specify in the ./wine/wine.conf the filesystem type? In Windows NT for example, the user can assign permissions in a similar way that Linux allows. the same is true for Windows 2000 and I suspect for Windows XP as well. So this is really related to wine and how it interacts with the psuedo filesystem. Is this correct?

That's true, but the paradigm SetCursor(LoadCursorA(...)); happens in a lot of places... What I'm suggesting is replacing them with something like: HCURSOR cursor = LoadCursorA(...); if (cursor) { SetCursor(cursor); } else { SetDefaultCursor(); } As I said, if you don't think this will ever happen in 'real life', I'm happy to leave my hack in place locally until I get the cursor thing sorted out correctly...

It really does make the fonts (in MS Word in particular) not suck! Nice job. Guess I will stick with this configuration. I came across two issues. The first is that virtually all dialogs and some windows were being drawn too narrow. The window/dialog height was normal. Looking at traces with and without the client side rendering, I saw this difference: Server rendering: trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 DIALOG 0, 0, 287, 165, 0 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 STYLE 0x80c820c0 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 EXSTYLE 0x00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 CAPTION L"Open" trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 FONT 8, L"helv", 0, FALSE trace:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance L"System", h=16, it=0, weight=400, PandF=22, charset=0 orient 0 escapement 0 ... trace:font:XFONT_GetAvgCharWidth retuning 6 trace:font:XFONT_RealizeFont physfont 3 trace:font:GetTextMetricsW text metrics: Weight = 400 FirstChar = 0 AveCharWidth = 6 Client rendering: trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 DIALOG 0, 0, 287, 165, 0 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 STYLE 0x80c820c0 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 EXSTYLE 0x00000000 trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 CAPTION L"Open" trace:dialog:DIALOG_ParseTemplate32 FONT 8, L"helv", 0, FALSE ... trace:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance L"helv", h=-10, it=0, weight=0, PandF=00, charset=1 orient 0 escapement 0 ... trace:font:WineEngGetTextMetrics OS/2 winA = 1854 winD = 434 typoA = 1491 typoD = -431 typoLG = 307 FT_Face a = 1854, d = -434, h = 2355: HORZ a = 1854, d = -434 lg = 67 maxY = 2124 minY = -665 trace:font:WineEngGetTextMetrics xAvgCharWidth 904 x_scale 20480 tmAvgCharWidth 4 trace:font:GetTextMetricsW text metrics: Weight = 400 FirstChar = 32 AveCharWidth = 4 Suspecting the average char width, but not understanding the code that generates it, I cheated. In WineEngGetTextMetrics(), I added: if (ptm->tmAveCharWidth == 4) ptm->tmAveCharWidth = 6; And this fixes all the dialogs and windows for me. The other problem I ran across is shown in these pictures, showing server and client side rendering. My little hack above had no effect on this particular problem. http://www.leewardfpga.com/server.png http://www.leewardfpga.com/client.png As can be seen, the vertical text is getting chopped off slightly. The font with the problem is Tahoma, and this is with a ~/.wine/config that contains [fonts] "Resolution" = "96" "Default" = "-adobe-times-" "DefaultFixed" = "fixed" "DefaultSerif" = "-monotype-times new roman-" "DefaultSansSerif" = "-microsoft-tahoma-"

Do you agree that we should handle the 'failed to load cursor resources' problem in a better way that just drawing no cursor? If not, I'll just leave my change in locally until I get the cursor loading fixed on solaris. Once I get the problem fixed it may not be a big deal... If so - how do you suggest we address it? One possibility would be add a new function named something like 'X11DRV_SetDefaultCursor' and have SetCursor call it when LoadCursor fails... Anyone have a better idea? Warren

Here's some of the output of running aol with --debugmsg +winsock: trace:winsock:WS_socket af=2 type=1 protocol=0 trace:winsock:WS_socket created 0320 trace:winsock:WS_bind socket 0320, ptr 0x40595b7c, length 16 trace:winsock:WSAAsyncSelect 0320, hWnd 006f, uMsg 00000468, event 00000033 trace:winsock:WSAEventSelect 00000320, hEvent 00000328, event 01000033 trace:winsock:WS_connect socket 0320, ptr 0x40595b50, length 16 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent socket 00000320, event 00000328 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent post: event bit 4, error 10061 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent socket 00000320, event 00000328 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent post: event bit 5, error 0 trace:winsock:WSAAsyncSelect 0320, hWnd 006f, uMsg 00000468, event 00000000 trace:winsock:WSAEventSelect 00000320, hEvent 00000000, event 00000000 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent socket 00000320, event 00000328 trace:winsock:WINSOCK_DoAsyncEvent orphaned event, self-destructing this seems to happen over and over again. My application sets up it's socket to send it a window message when the event happens, but the event takes too long and so the app turns off the notification, and the event becomes orphaned.

Re: debugging longman dictionary
by Laurent Pinchart March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

I looked at the trace log you attached to your email, and recognised (unfortunately) familiar copy protection output :-( Is anyone working on implementing what would be needed to successfuly run copy-protected softwares ? I ran into the same problems when I tried to play The Longuest Journey with Wine. I disassembled a large part of the code and rewrote it in C to try to understand what was going on. If anyone is interested I can send my work by e-mail (I won't send it to the list as the files are quite big). Basically, the copy protection scheme I studied used the following technique. One of the sections in the PE file is encrypted. The decryption key is generated from the content of the other sections. The process of decrypting the encrypted section tried to detect if a debugger is running, and fails to run properly if so. This results in the inability to decrypt the PE file if the unencrypted section is modified or if a debugger is running. There must be some code to detect if the application CD is genuine but I've never been able to go past the decryption part. To detect if a debugger is running, the following actions are performed (in no particular order): - the code tries to open some files using CreateFileA : "\\.\SICE", "\\.\SIWVID" and "\\.\NTICE". This fails as the SoftICE VxDs are not loaded, so no problems there - it also tries to read/write to the debug registers. this produces an unhandled exception. should be trivial to write an exception handler to support that (right ?) - the code writes binary code to the interrupt vector table (at address 0 - division by 0 handler), and then cause to the division by 0 interrupt handler to be called by dividing a value by 0. - the TIB (Thread Information Block, which address is located at fs:0) is read. The following C code illustrates the technique (which I don't understand :-) bool detect_debugger_from_TIB { char *pTIB; asm ( "mov %%fs:0x18, %", "=g"(pTIB) ); if ( pTIB[0x20] == 0 ) return FALSE; else return TRUE; } - another debugger detection technique uses int 0x68, functino 0x4300. If the content of eax when returning from int 0x68 is not 0x4300, a debugger is present. This is not performed on some NEC Japanese systems, which probably use int 0x68 for another purpose. - the last attempt to detect a debugger uses int 0x01 (enter SMM/ICE mode), which checks if an external hardware emulator is connected to the processor. I haven't been able to understand what the code is supposed to do. There might be some other anti-debugging techniques, I gave up after 2 weeks of disassembly :-) Hope these observations will help someone. Laurent Pinchart

Hello Again All, I just had another thought and was wondering if someone was working on the NTFS filesystem for Wine? I am guessing that this is what is being used in the Windows2000 and Windows XP as well, right? cheers, Lonnie -- Lonnie Cumberland OutStep Technologies Incorporated EMAIL: Lonnie(a)OutStep.com : Lonnie_Cumberland(a)yahoo.com The Basis Express Virtual Office & Data Backup and Recovery Services URL: http://www.basis-express.com "The Virtual Office without boundaries!!!"

similar WIne projects for MAC?
by Lonnie Cumberland March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

Hello All, I am really starting to get involved with the wine project and am trying get up to speed so that I can start to implement some of the FIXME functions as soon as possible. I was just wondering if there was also an type of Wine project that would allow MAC to run on Linux as well, but not in the respect of having to load the MAC os like VMware?

Hack/work-around for cursor problem on sparc-solaris
by Warren_Baird＠cimmetry.com March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

Hi all, I've managed to come up with a work-around for the cursor problem on sparc-solaris. What I'm not sure about is whether this should be checked in as a general fix. The problem was that if X11DRV_GetCursor (dlls/x11drv/mouse.c) is called with a NULL CURSORICONINFO pointer, it would explicitly create a completely empty cursor... This doesn't seem like the right thing to do to me - it seems to me much better to create a default cursor from the provided X11 cursor font, and use it. The question is, does anyone rely on this behaviour? From what I've seen of the code, this only happens if there is a problem loading the windows cursors, in which case it would be much more sensible to show a default cursor than no cursor at all. If someone is relying on this to create an empty cursor, it might be better for them to explictly create a CURSORICONINFO that creates an empty cursor. What do people think - should I submit this as a patch? Warren

Duplicated functions?
by Warren_Baird＠cimmetry.com March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

Hi all, I've been digging around trying to track down my cursor issues, and I noticed that there seem to be 3 identical implementation of the function find_entry_by_id implemented in dlls/user/exticon.c, dlls/version/resource.c, and loader/pe_resource.c. Is this intentional? It seems like the danger for the the functions to get out of sync is quite high (especially since there aren't sufficient comments indicating that other versions need to be updated). If it isn't intentional, I'll open a bug about it (I don't really have time to fix it right now), otherwise I'll add a couple of lines of documentation indicating that there are multiple versions that need to be updated to each of the functions comments.

pthreads issues?
by Chris Morgan March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

I've been working on a wine driver for the jack audio server, jackit.sourceforge.net. The concept of the server is to open audio ports and setup a callback function that will be called whenever the server needs more audio data. Everything works fine until the point of starting up the client and starting the calls to the callback function. With the latest cvs version of the jack server and some changes to the driver I haven't been able to get the driver to start the client up successfully, it just hangs after the below first two pthreads errors although I suspect this may be due to the same issues as before. Previously only about 50% of the time would the client be started up correctly, the other half of the time it would report failure to connect to the server and I would have to kill wine and restart a few times before it finally would work. I got errors like below: ~/c/Program Files/winamp$ wine Winamp.exe FIXME:pthread_cond_init FIXME:pthread_cond_signal FIXME:pthread_cond_wait fixme:ntdll:RtlNtStatusToDosError no mapping for 00000102 It appears that something went wrong between wine and wineserver communication and that strange 102 got stuck in there. I've also had strange X errors and another person reported: "I'm having problems getting jack to work with a GTK+ app. 3 times out of 4 when I start I get: engine has shut down socket; thread exiting Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x102)!" Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

Cursor issues on sparc-solaris
by Warren_Baird＠cimmetry.com March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

Hi all, I alluded to this in a post on Friday, but I'm going to ask about it explicitly now. In the sparc-solaris port, most bitmaps are now showing up fine (with a few fixes in wrc), but when the mouse enters a wine window the mouse cursor disappears. The mouse still works if you can figure out where to click it. I've been tracing through the code, trying to figure out what is going wrong. with a breakpoint in LoadCursorA, I've stepped down through the resource loading code, until I get to PE_FindResourceW. It calls find_entry_by_nameW, which calls find_entry_by_id. The inputs seem fine, but the resource id (0xC) doesn't show up in the IMAGE_RESOURCE_DIRECTORY, which has only 3 entries, with ids 4, 5 and 6... I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss so far. My instincts say that the id is fine, and that something is breaking during the loading of the image resource directory - I'm trying to trace back where the image resource directory is populated, but I haven't found it yet... Any suggestions would be distinctly welcome... I'm hoping to get a linux box set up here today, and maybe tracing through the same process under linux will indicate the problem. Thanks! Warren

Re: Introduction and Sparc Solaris Status

> On Sparc processor? you mean you're emulating all the other layers too? like > processor, ram, video etc? isn't it kinda ... slow? Note that I said "winelib", and not "wine". Winelib only allows you to *recompile* win32 apps on *nix platforms. So I can take win32 source code, and compile and run it on solaris, hence no emulation is required... > Have you managed to run something a bit more complicated then notepad? again - > I (and I'm sure others) will be happy to hear about this stuff... Not yet. I've built the winemine, notepad and clock sample programs so far... My intent is to try to get the cursor issue fixed, and then worry about porting the rest of our code... Warren

OT: Buggy fonts
by Russell Howe March 25, 2002

March 25, 2002

I'm afraid this is a little off-topic, but every time Wine starts, as it builds the font metrics, xfs-xtt (the font server) dies. I'm assuming there's a font (or few) in the system which it doesn't like, or which are corrupt. It makes wine rather annoying to use (and means that if I kill wine and restart the font server, it thinks the metrics are already done and ignores most of my fonts!) Does anyone know an easy way to find out which fonts they are? -- Russell Howe rhowe(a)wiss.co.uk

answer 1/ try to find the font that crashes and remove it answer 2/ try to upgrade to a newer freetype library. resistance to bad font files has been improved A+ > I'm afraid this is a little off-topic, but every time Wine starts, as it > builds the font metrics, xfs-xtt (the font server) dies.
