How to submit patches
by Sylvain Petreolle March 6, 2002

March 6, 2002

In documentation/wine-doc/patches.html, Albert den Haan says : " For additions: mention that you have some new files and include them as either separate attachments or by appending the diff -u /dev/null /my/new/file output of them to any cvs diff -u output you may have. Alernatively, use diff -Nu olddir/ newdir/ in case of multiple new files to add. For removals, list the files." I understood how to do when I have an addition, but not when I have a removal. Could someone give a sample ? ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo! Mail : http://fr.mail.yahoo.com

Re: GetStdHandle Problem
by Ignasi Villagrasa March 6, 2002

March 6, 2002

Referred to the last message about this issue, I must say that it was my mistake to think wcmdmain.c was already the winebuild precompiled file. But it isn't. I must generate it. I created the .spec file as documented, but winebuild doen't find wcmdrc.res. So I try to create wcmdrc.res using wrc utility from wmcdrc.rc, that comes with CVS sources. I get errors. I'd like to maintain the application as it was created in order to get it work properly. [nacho(a)griserver mcvis32]$ /opt/wine/bin/wrc -r -L -I/opt/wine/include -DWINELIB -D_REENTRANT -o wcmdrc.res wcmdrc.rc wcmdrc.rc:1:147: Warning: Unmatched text '#' (0x23); please report wcmdrc.rc:2:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 1) wcmdrc.rc:3:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 1) wcmdrc.rc:4:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 1) wcmdrc.rc:6:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 5) wcmdrc.rc:7:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 5) wcmdrc.rc:7:246: Warning: Unmatched text '#' (0x23); please report wcmdrc.rc:9:91: Warning: Unmatched text '#' (0x23); please report wcmdrc.rc:10:84: Warning: Unmatched text '#' (0x23); please report wcmdrc.rc:11:1: Warning: Newline in string constant encounterd (started line 10) wcmdrc.rc:11:233: Error: Unexpected end of file during preprocessing [nacho(a)griserver mcvis32]$ I have not much experience in using window resources. So I don't know where these errors come from. Could anyone help me ? I'll try to follow step by step the migration process. I'll test a little application, and then will test the big one. Thanks in advance. Ignasi Villagrasa.

WineHQ.com Move Complete
by Jeremy Newman March 5, 2002

March 5, 2002

The WineHQ.com move is complete, but not without some issues. The 1st issue is that our mailing lists (mailman) sent out a huge amount of email because the newsgroup gateway changed. It basically thought all the messages on comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine were new. Apologies go out to the users whose email inboxes we filled up. So in the meantime, the newsgroup gateway, and the NNTP server on winehq.com are offline until further notice. If you notice any other issues that I am not aware of, please let me know. There is a lot of things to a site that has been running as long as Winehq.com has. -- __ _WebGeek/NetAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1842980 Yahoo: laxdragon

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?
