Minor build system change for the Windows ports
by Steven Edwards June 7, 2002

June 7, 2002

Anyone got any input on this? We need to be able to link to imports for kernel32 other then the standard libkernel32.a. Mingw doesn't keep all of the kernel32 import information in libkernel32.a instead it is like MSVC where it has a libth32.a and libthunk32.a. What is needed here is a change to the build system that allows for importing of these libs at link time when building a dll that needs those exports. Psapi.dll needs the toolhelp lib and one of the directx dlls needs the libthunk. I submitted a dirty patch for this a week or two ago but it wasn't accepted. The other option is to make the "make implib" rule and change the search path for the import libs. Thanks Steven "Every revolution was once a thought in one man's mind" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do we need Direct3D? How about OpenGL?
by Roland June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Hello, I just thought about this. AFAIK most good 3D games support OpenGL anyway. That means, they can run without D3D, right? If this is true maybe it would be more of an advantage to concentrate on other parts of DirectX first. Postpone D3D to a later moment...in a few years or so :)) Roland

If the sentence implies that you said that then perhaps it is because english is not my main language. A better formulation would perhaps be: Secondly what other people do for living is not of your concern. This was an reaction to your statement: "What do you mean by 'bought out'? I suppose there where WINE contributors who now work for TG, right? If this is the case it is another point in favour of the LGPL..." This I interpreted as you MIGHT be against that some of Wine's contributors starting working with Transgaming and that is was POSSIBLE that you thought (or hoped) that a LGPL:ed Wine would have prevented that. Thus I replied as I did in the event that you really was against it. I should perhaps have formulated myself better, though. You one the other hand shouldn't interpreting everything litterary. This is especially true when discussing things with non native english speakers. > Please keep your twisted logic for youself, I won't bother > discussing this > anymore, I have better things to do... I don't think logic have very much to do with it in this case. It lies more in the realm of miscommunication.

GlobalAlloc returning memory that isn't 8-byte aligned?
by Warren_Baird＠cimmetry.com June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Hi all, It looks to me like the wine implementation of GlobalAlloc is only returning addresses that are 4 byte aligned, not 8-byte aligned as MSDN says it should... Unfortunately on Sparc-Solaris double values need to be 8-byte aligned, and if GlobalAlloc is returning 4-byte aligned addresses - this is pretty hard. I'm afraid I don't really understand all of the magic going on in dlls/ntdll - I tried redefining ARENA_SIZE_MASK to ~7 instead of ~3, but this caused seg-faults in various places... Any suggestions on how to convince GlobalAlloc to actually return 8-byte aligned addresses would be greatly appreciated! Warren

winebootup

June 6, 2002

After searching through the docs to see why there isnt any code in wine to run the normal windows bootup routines, i.e. Run/RunOnce/winboot.ini, see bug 717, I found something mentioning winebootup in the programs directory. I did a search for it on my whole system and didn't find it. What happened to it? Does anyone still have an old copy of it, I would like to put some of it's code directly into wine, or maybe reimplement it if it was problematic... Any info/help would be appreciated... -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

Obviously the author can relicense his code to whatever he wish. Now if if there are LGPL:ed parts that his code depends on he must remove them and if he wishes make his code usable in other contexts rewrite the LGPL:ed parts. Note that copyright only covers unique expression. Whether some his code was based on facts or ideas discover by authors of LGPL:ed licensed code doesn't count as far as copyright law is concerned. Also note that the LGPL has been fulfilled by since the other LGPL authors can keep his code so it will be quite hard to make additional claims especially since as I said copyright only protects unique expression. > >Secondly who are you to tell people what they can or can't do > >for a living? > > Huh?

Problems converting DLL to unix SO with winelib
by list＠vmn.com.br June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Hello All At Wine-Devel! I am trying to convert a win32 DLL to a unix SO. The dll named if32dt is basically a wrapper over the serial port, interfacing some custom hardware. It is therefore a driver to the custom hw. This is part of a project to port a windows sales app to linux. There are about 6 DLLs with similar structure and my aim is to show my superiors that using winelib is much better than simply rewriting the DLL to use unix system calls. 1) I have sucessfully copied my project over to unix and built the so file The project is basicaly a couple of headers and the c file ifdt32.cpp bash# cd ifdt32/ bash# mv ifdt32.cpp ifdt32.c #the file is plain C , cpp was confusing gcc bash# winemaker --nomfc -imsvcrt.dll -I/usr/local/include/wine/msvcrt --dll . bash# ./configure bash# make bash# make install The DLL uses msvcrt so I added it. => I read some issues between msvcrt and crt in winehq.com After changing a couple lines of ifdt.c I was able to build libifdt.so . I had a lot of warnings like ifdt32.c:176: warning: comparison between pointer and integer My ifdt32.spec file is unchanged from what winemaker created name ifdt32 type win32 mode dll init DllMain import msvcrt.dll import advapi32.dll import comdlg32.dll import gdi32.dll import kernel32.dll import ntdll.dll import odbc32.dll import ole32.dll import oleaut32.dll import shell32.dll import user32.dll import winspool.drv ifdt32.c only uses msvcrt.dll, ntdll.dll , kernel32.dll, user32.dll I added simple printf calls to DllMain to see if it was being called when the SO is loaded make install correctly put libifdt.so in /usr/local/lib I ran ldconfig in /usr/local/lib with bash# ldconfig -v -n . libifdt32.so -> libifdt32.so libwine_unicode.so -> libwine_unicode.so.1.0 libwine_tsx11.so -> libwine_tsx11.so.1.0 libwine.so -> libwine.so.1.0 2) I created a trivial program to test libifdt.so bash# cat test.c #include "windows.h" #include "stdio.h" #include "stdlib.h" #include "string.h" #include "io.h" #include "conio.h" #include "fcntl.h" #include "direct.h" #include "time.h" #include "IFfunc32.h" printf("before start"); int main(void) { printf("before start"); if( IF_IFDT32_OPEN("COM2") == 0 ) { printf("We are working") ; } else { printf("Oh no!"); } } bash# make gcc -g -c test.c -I/usr/local/include/wine -I/usr/local/include/wine/msvcrt -I/home/nwine/ifdt32/ifdt32 gcc -o test test.o -lifdt32 -L/usr/local/lib This program seg faults.

It is hard to debug because the seg fault happens very early and I havent been able to get winedbg to work. I have tried this on wine-20020509 and wine-20020122 with exactly the same problem.

opengl32 wglSwapLayerBuffers
by Jesse Allen June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Hi, I've been on a kind of rampage trying to Warcraft 3 working the best it can under Wine. I have previously tried WineX, which works pretty much right out of their CVS. WineX has some of D3D8 done, thus War3 works easily. But however, it has some graphics bugs, and possible some what slower framerate than in Windows. Warcraft 3 has a secondary, opengl graphics driver in it. You can access it by running wine War3.exe -- -opengl for example. But when doing this on either Wine or WineX it would say wglSwapLayerBuffers... stub !, and there would be no graphics output. I investigated this and of course found that there was nothing there. I searched through gl headers and the wine sources for an opengl equivilant, and found a SwapBuffers(hdc HDC) through GDI/x11drv? I decided to call that from wglSwapLayerBuffers. In doing that, this still ignored a parameter of UINT fuplanes. I really don't know what fuplanes is for. So this is not at all a complete implimination of this function. An attached patch file shows my changes to wgl.c as from current release. I went ahead and tried War3 again with opengl. This time, it outputs graphics. In comparison with D3D8, there are no graphical errors, and it seems slightly faster. But DXGrab no longer works, but a quick solution is to switch to the same game resolution. The game looks like its working perfectly now!! No side affects have been seen with ignoring fuPlanes. I'm haven't worked on wine before, but I'm willing to work with whoever to figure out how to correctly implement this function or others related to this. Perhaps I can figure out what fuPlanes is?

Need better documentation of Windows 16/32 APIs for Mingw Port
by Steven Edwards June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Does anyone where I can find some good information on the win16/32 APIs? Any book refrences to amazon mabey? I'm trying to make a detailed list of what needs to be done to seperate all of the Wine 16/32 code and fix the locations of 16bit api call importations and it is turning in to a PITA. Finding anything on the normal APIs in MSDN is gettin harder everyday with all of the .NET crap they keep adding and the fact they tend to have a lot of bugs in there own docs. I will be submitting a few issues to bugzilla and emailing wine-devel this weekend with all of the TODO for proper seperation.

Bug 586
by admiral coeyman June 6, 2002

June 6, 2002

Before retiring this bug with a patch, I have to check some things with somebody who knows the memory functions used in DOS emulation. I got the return address using CTX_SEG_OFF_TO_LIN on SegSs and Eip. Then, I used DOSMEM_MapDosToLinear on the return of DOSMEM_MapRealToLinear( (DWORD)*retpointer ) where retpointer is the result of the CTX call. I'm hoping that this gave me the linear address of the return address. Backup once, write a NOP ( 00 ) Backup again and write the 0x9b wait instruction. That should overwrite the interrupt call. Then, I have to back the return address up two bytes, to execute this code. Since my code pointer points to the first byte that I changed, I used DOSMEM_MapLinearToDos((LPVOID *)codepointer) and stored that value in *retpointer. Do these functions do what I think that they do and did I get my offsets right? If I got all of this right, I'll be able to complete the rest of these emulation interrupts, assuming an FPU is installed. There is one thing that bothers me. My resources say that this emulation code is part of the programs that use it. I don't have this program to test with.

Asymmetric mouse movement in DGA2 mode
by J. Christopher Pereira June 5, 2002

June 5, 2002

Hi: I patched 'windows/x11drv/event.c' to run Starcraft in DGA2 mode. In DGA2 I noticed that the mouse movement is't symmetric, ie: mouse speed when moving left/up < mouse speed when moving right/down. To fix this, I modified 'dlls/x11drv/mouse.c', adding: void X11DRV_DGAMotionEvent( HWND hwnd, XDGAMotionEvent *event ) { update_key_state( event->state ); // HACK: fix asymmetric mouse motion if(event->dx < 0) event->dx *= 2; if(event->dy < 0) event->dy *= 2; send_mouse_event( hwnd, MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, event->dx, event->dy, 0, event->time ); } (just empirical values) Why does this happen? Is there any cleaner solution? Observation: in 'send_mouse_event' says: "/* Relative mouse movements seem not to be scaled as absolute ones */" BTW, in this application, when the mouse reaches the border of the screen (moving the mouse cursor out of the window), the view is supposed to be scrolled in that direction. This doesn't work in DGA mode, but works when not using DGA Any idea? System: latest winex CVS version + XFree86 4.2.0

Having just fixed Bug 671, I think we need an owner for the Valve Hammer application. It demonstrates numerous bugs on the CVS version (4 days old). The bugs range from LoadLibrary errors during the installer run, to gui problems with the main screen. Even the tab control demonstrates differences from native in this package. I don't have the time to use this program as a test base and hope someone can step up and do it. The installer is the second attachment to Bug 671 and is all you need to get started.

As many of you know, I have been in the process of porting the WINE shared libraries to Mingw as Windows PE dlls for the ReactOS project. Below are results of testing the dlls that we can build from the current WINE tree under Windows98SE. We were going to use win2k for this test however the Windows File Protection was giving us to much trouble for it to be worth it at this time. Another test is planned at the end of the month using win2k. Thanks to Chris Gianelloni for helping to setup and run these test in VMware.

I noticed :-) Dustin, thank you for the great work you do. It was long overdue to clean these old issues. I have some comments - sometimes you mark as resolved and ask to reopen if the bug still exists bugs with very nice reports. I think this is good approach when you can't check whether the problem still exists or for some obscure applications, but many of the bug reports you closed are short, nice and consious. I think better approaches with these sort of bug reports is: a) try to reproduce yourself - the best approach. Your confirmation in the bug comments is very important for developer who may try to fix the issue. b) if research looks complex - a half a way to solving a bug, you can add comment, smth like "Needs to be confirmed". In both cases bug can be assigned to the component owner. c) ask to confirm without resolving the bug All these approaches insure that bug report won't be forgotten and this can happen if the bugs are just marked as "resolved". Could you try to go through the old bugs you marked as resolved? I already started to do this. I'll leave my comments in the bugs I reviewed.

Improving debugging (gdb) support
by tijs＠connectux.com June 4, 2002

June 4, 2002

Hi, I'd like to improve debugging support for Wine, and have time to undertake a larger project. Either I could work on winedbg to match gdb's features, or I could try to make gdb understand Wine better. Given the amount of useful frontends for gdb, it seems wiser to go for the second option. I'd love to be corrected if you think working on winedbg is a better choice. Gdb seems to have trouble understanding the way windows processes run in Wine. If anyone has thought about this, I'd like to know your opinions on a good solution to this problem. Furthermore, it seems useful to make gdb parse the .pdb format, or other debugging information. Winedbg already has a working pdb parser, which I could port to gdb. Feel free to push me in the right direction. -- Tijs van Bakel, ConnecTUX, <tijs(a)connectux.com>

I'm experiencing problems with this. Just updated to the lastest CVS (June 4 2002) and I'm getting the following WINE error when trying to run any application: Invalid path 'c:\windows\system' for system directory: does not exist Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file. Relevant snippets from my wine config file: [Drive C] "Path" = "/windows" "Type" = "hd" "Filesystem" = "win95" [wine] "windows" = "C:\\windows" "system" = "C:\\windows\\system" And from /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /windows vfat rw,auto,umask=000 0 0 /dev/hda1 is a Fat32 partition and does indeed contain \windows and \windows\system subdirectories. All lower case. winecheck gives me a "99% correct" score, and reports no problems with "Drive C" (all errors are related to file permission issues on Drive D which is not being used here.) snippet from winecheck output: ----------------------------- checking config file ----------------------------- 003. Checking config file access... OK. >>> Checking drive C settings: 004. Checking Path option... OK. 005. Checking Type option... OK. 006. Checking Filesystem option... OK. --> OK. So, I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? Regards, Dan Schwarz http://www.winecentric.com/

If you are interested in owning R4, that's fine by me. For what it's worth, from 1993-97 I was a programmer on the team that designed and wrote Notes R4 and R5 (Iris Associates) so I have some knowledge of application internals (although, sadly, no source code.) I'm following the discussion and bug report 466 although I have not been able to test with the latest CVS due to wine config problems detailed in my earlier message to the list. Regards, Dan Schwarz

Lotus Notes application owner
by Ian Pilcher June 4, 2002

June 4, 2002

I was under the impression that there already was one, but it looks like I was mistaken. I will volunteer to own the Notes *R4* client, which I regularly use. (I suggest having a different owner for Notes R5.) My employer only recently began providing a VPN access option for Linux, so I've only been back to using Notes with Wine for a few weeks, but it seems to be working very well. The only bug I've noticed is that the left pane of the mail window (in which the "views" are shown) is resized to a zero width when the window is redrawn. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher pilchman(a)attbi.com ========================================================================

linux kernel thoughts

June 3, 2002

I'm sure people have asked questions about integrating wine into the linux kernel. Probably got flamed by everybody, yeah? But that's not what I'm posting about. Not directly, anyway. =) I'm thinking of writing a kernel patch for PE executable support. Is there any reason why wine libraries should not be used in a similar manner as standard linux libraries? Granted wine is more than just it's libraries. Anyway, good idea, bad idea? And please keep the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comments to yourself. No progress is made with that mentality.

by Massimo June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

I am finishing a gui front end for wine that allows to start and stop wine app on the fly, capture wine output and filter debug cannels as required. It's done calling wine with --debugmesg +all and filtering it, so it'll slow down in some extents wine app.... For the moment I didn't find a way to remotely control wine debug channels from my app. I think that with little wine code changes it would be possible, i.e. passing a pipe to wine with something like --debugpipe num, and using it to start-stop debug channels output on the fly... But I can't code it.... If someone knows how to implement that stuff, I'd be glad to change my app... it would be much faster than now. BTW, I'll post my app (a QT based one) on next days after some testing. Regards Max

A problem with winmm and word
by Duane Clark June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Word2000 seems to work good for me, except when I exit. It than invariably crashes in winmm, of all places: Backtrace: =>0 0x44056d9f (MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound+0x12f(pszSound=0x0, hmod=0x0, fdwSound=0x40, bUnicode=0x0) [mmsystem.c:639] in winmm.dll.so) (ebp=405b6bfc) 1 0x44056e37 (WINMM.DLL.PlaySound+0x13 in winmm.dll.so) (ebp=405b6c14) 2 0x30962b08 (MSO9.DLL._MsoFShowTooltip(a)8+0x123b in C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\MSO9.DLL) (ebp=405b6d78) 3 0x30a92306 (MSO9.DLL._MsoFGetCursorLocation(a)8+0x23f in C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\MSO9.DLL) (ebp=405b6d9c) 4 0x30170343 (winword.exe.EntryPoint+0x16d9a3 in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe) (ebp=307cd7d0) 5 0x00000012 (ebp=00000000) MULTIMEDIA_PlaySound() gets called three times. The first two times work ok, but on the third time, it is called with a NIL pszSound. This causes wps to never be set, causing the crash on line 639: wps->lpNext = iData->lpPlaySound; I added a simple test to return if wps is not set, and Word exits fine. But I have no idea whether that is the right thing to do.

Do you think it's REALLY needed > or is there non-solvable problems? I'm interested in the Wine project, in particular, the kernel module being developed to speed up execution of win32 programs. It would really benefit from what you're proposing. (Wine is currently starting to do its own SMB client stuff, probably using the same shared library you're proposing to use, but not in a way that would be usable by the wine kernel module, I think. Wine could use your enhanced smbfs, if present, to allow all file operations to be handled by the wine kernel module.) > > Question: how will you carry the SMB token around? > > Let's imagine somebody starts a script that runs two programs > > that access SMB shares, and that they're initially not logged in at > > all. > > If this were Windows, it would prompt them once for their username > > and password, and then allow access from then on. ... > > For The user/pwd problem, you are right, user should be prompted for a > password.

I favor #4, it's the simplest. When the time comes that somebody wants closer emulation of windows behavior, something fancier could be done. > For the token [itself], it could be a file on the disk: > /tmp/user.smb.token, like with kerberos If that's how kerberos does it, that's probably fine. (In fact, in the future, won't you just use kerberos for a lot of windows networks?) But it might be awkward to access from inside the kernel, so I can imagine you might want to store it inside your smbfs kernel module instead. > What about putting that in a ENV VAR? Nope, environment variables are not global enough. Some posters have proposed using autofs to do the mounting. That's a good idea if it saves work and lets you have the per-user semantics you want. So all you need to do is implement an smbfs that uses the user's token to validate each open/rm/mv, and you're done. (Modulo somebody hooking an smb browser into an ldap server, but that may already have been done.) - Dan

problem : win16 stack selector freed twice
by Christian Costa June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Hi everybody, I encountered the following problem that completely broke MapLS. I investigated a little and here is what I've found : 1) a selector is allocated for the win16 stack in THREAD_InitStack 2) the selector is freed and the stack replaced by another (the DGROUP of the module) in NE_StartTask 3) MapLS is called, allocates the freed selector and keep it in a linked list 4) the selector is freed in SYSDEPS_ExitThread which believes it to be the selector of the initial task 5) the selector being freed is allocated (from where is not important) and the associated descriptor is modified 6) further call to MapLS (wich makes the function to use this selector) make wine to crash because the descriptor has been overwritten So 2) and 4) are conflicting but I think only 4) is wrong. 4) should free the selector of the new stack instead of the old one. Or should do nothing if the stack has been changed. Any idea? A+ Christian

Win16 Support again
by Steven Edwards June 3, 2002

June 3, 2002

Ok I changed my mind, I want to disable it for now. What is going to be the best way to go about doing it? We currently have the -DNO_WINEWINSOCK should I just #ifndef the code out with -DNO_WIN16 ? Thanks Steven "Every revolution was once a thought in one man's mind" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
