Although this may duplicate effort, I am familiar with several strange combinations of exception handling that I know work with Visual C++ 6.0; I will put them a test program for you. You can never have too many test programs, right?

[PATCH] winemaker fixes
by Martin Wilck Sept. 9, 2002

Sept. 9, 2002

Hi, the patch below fixes a few things in winemaker. It seems to work with my app, but needs more testing, especially for MFC apps. Modified files: tools: winemaker documentation: winemaker.man Changelog: - adapt winemaker to the new way winebuild handles imports. - fix crashes due to winemaker-generated wrapper app closing libraries (is this one correct??) - Fix some minor bugs in the wrapper.c template. - change semantics of --nomfc option such that it overrides automatic setting of --mfc if stdafx.h or stdafx.cpp are found. (this may cause problems to some people. For me the old behaviour was a pain in the neck, because VC++ generates stdafx.h always, even for pure C projects). Feedback, please ! - Add --nodlls option to suppress auto-generated import list for simple apps. - Adapt man page. -- Martin Wilck Phone: +49 5251 8 15113 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 5251 8 20409 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring 1 mailto:Martin.Wilck(a)Fujitsu-Siemens.com D-33106 Paderborn http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergy Index: tools/winemaker =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/tools/winemaker,v retrieving revision 1.39 diff -u -r1.39 winemaker --- tools/winemaker 14 Apr 2002 19:31:23 -0000 1.39 +++ tools/winemaker 22 May 2002 16:49:18 -0000 @@ -233,6 +233,14 @@ my $TF_MFC=4; ## +# User has specified --nomfc option for this target or globally +my $TF_NOMFC=8; + +## +# --nodlls option: Do not use standard DLL set +my $TF_NODLLS=16; + +## # Initialize a target: # - set the target type to TT_SETTINGS, i.e. no real target will # be generated. @@ -435,23 +443,37 @@ push @{@$target[$T_LIBRARY_PATH]},$option; } elsif ($option =~ /^-l/) { push @{@$target[$T_LIBRARIES]},"$'"; - } elsif (@$target[$T_TYPE] != $TT_DLL and $option =~ /^--wrap/) { - @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_WRAP; - } elsif (@$target[$T_TYPE] != $TT_DLL and $option =~ /^--nowrap/) { - @$target[$T_FLAGS]&=~$TF_WRAP; - } elsif ($option =~ /^--mfc/) { - @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_MFC; + } elsif ($option =~ /^--wrap/) { if (@$target[$T_TYPE] != $TT_DLL) { @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_WRAP; + } else { + print STDERR "warning: option --wrap is illegal for DLLs - ignoring"; + }; + } elsif ($option =~ /^--nowrap/) { + if (@$target[$T_TYPE] != $TT_DLL) { + @$target[$T_FLAGS]&=~$TF_WRAP; + } else { + print STDERR "warning: option --nowrap is illegal for DLLs - ignoring"; } + } elsif ($option =~ /^--mfc/) { + @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_MFC; + @$target[$T_FLAGS]&=~$TF_NOMFC; } elsif ($option =~ /^--nomfc/) { @$target[$T_FLAGS]&=~$TF_MFC; - @$target[$T_FLAGS]&=~($TF_MFC|$TF_WRAP); + @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_NOMFC; + } elsif ($option =~ /^--nodlls/) { + @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_NODLLS; } else { print STDERR "error: unknown option \"$option\"\n"; return 0; } } + if (@$target[$T_TYPE] != $TT_DLL && + @$target[$T_FLAGS] & $TF_MFC && + !(@$target[$T_FLAGS] & $TF_WRAP)) { + print STDERR "info: option --mfc requires --wrap"; + @$target[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_WRAP; + } return 1; } @@ -541,7 +563,7 @@ } elsif ($dentry =~ /\.c$/i and $dentry !~ /\.spec\.c$/) { push @sources_c,"$dentry"; } elsif ($dentry =~ /\.(cpp|cxx)$/i) { - if ($dentry =~ /^stdafx.cpp$/i) { + if ($dentry =~ /^stdafx.cpp$/i && !(@$project_settings[$T_FLAGS] & $TF_NOMFC)) { push @sources_misc,"$dentry"; @$project_settings[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_MFC; } else { @@ -551,7 +573,7 @@ push @sources_rc,"$dentry"; } elsif ($dentry =~ /\.(h|hxx|hpp|inl|rc2|dlg)$/i) { push @sources_misc,"$dentry"; - if ($dentry =~ /^stdafx.h$/i) { + if ($dentry =~ /^stdafx.h$/i && !(@$project_settings[$T_FLAGS] & $TF_NOMFC)) { @$project_settings[$T_FLAGS]|=$TF_MFC; } } elsif ($dentry =~ /\.dsp$/i) { @@ -774,10 +796,13 @@ push @exe_list,$target; } # This is the default link list of Visual Studio, except odbccp32 - # which we don't have in Wine.

New CVS and Agent
by Oliver Sampson Aug. 3, 2002

Aug. 3, 2002

Howdy, I just built a new CVS version--the first one in a while. I got caught by the -managed and the -winver options going away--a little searching through the list archives, and the problems were solved! Anyhow, I generally run with two instances of Forte Agent v1.9 open. Since I've built the new CVS, there's a change in behavior that I thought I'd the devel community know about. When pressing the shortcut buttons on the Agent instance that was first opened, nothing happened. When pressing on the buttons in the second instance, they worked normally. I closed the second instance, and the buttons in the first instance now work normally. Perhaps the messages are being captured and sent to the wrong place? (They're not being sent to the wrong instance of Agent.) Also there was no obvious output messages in the console window. That's the only change in behavior I've found so far. It still runs great. Thanks to the devel community! Oliver ==================================================== Oliver Sampson olsam(a)quickaudio.com http://www.oliversampson.com

Translation wine documentation to other languages
by Andriy Palamarchuk Aug. 1, 2002

Aug. 1, 2002

Sorry for crossposting initial message to both lists. I think the topic may be interesting for both - users and developers. Any volunteers to help to translate the documentation to languages other than English? This is very big job, so there can be more than one person, working on the same language. Among responses to my call for volunteers I got response from Pedro Restrepo suggesting his help in Wine localization. See his message below. Damian Wojslaw requested information on the same topic on wine-users. --- Pedro Restrepo <pedrores(a)tutopia.com> wrote: > Hi Andiry, > > First, thank you and thanks to all people working on > Wine.

Currently Wine does not have official documentation in other languages. Some winelib applications are localized to other languages. Documents with highest priority for translation: * README file * Wine User Guide * user-oriented pages on Winehq Plus, we'll need to keep translations in sync with original documentation.

Would save some conversions. yes & no HMIDIIN cannot be used for a HMIDIOUT (anyway, this will be checked internally by our mmsys implementation: all HMIDI???? handles are stored in the same table, and we never rely on the HMIDI??? handle type but on the actual object type) however, HMIDI can be used for a HMIDIIN (or HMIDIOUT or HMIDISTRM) handle (see midiConnect for example) it's true that midimap dll should use HMIDIOUT instead of HMIDI in its internal data structure A+

Your previous patch was better :-) Basically, we use MSVCRT(xxx) for all symbols for which we may get a conflict with the native C library headers. On Unix systyems, the _xxx functions are never defined (though there may be a couple of exceptions) so we don't use MSVCRT() for readability's sake. But if you find a system where there is a conflict, then it's best to just systematically use MSVCRT() than to use ifdefs that make it even harder to read. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced Operating System is indistinguishable from Linux

dos console apps question
by Chris Morgan July 30, 2002

July 30, 2002

Lately I've been trying to get some dos console apps running under wine. These apps run great under wineconsole but not so much just under wine due to the lack of a server side console for the routines in dlls/msdos/vga.c to output too. So, after poking all around it seems that at some point during the normal loading of an app that we should be calling out to the server with alloc_console to create a default console, and binding this console to the current terminal. Does anyone have any suggestions about this? What function this should be done in? Thanks, Chris

How far along is the patch you have and would you be in need of any assistance? I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to have the parent process communicate with the child process and how this affects things. Is the problem how to capture and render the output from the application that was directed to the console and the standard handles? Couldn't this just be done in the appropriate win32 console functions for input/output and with standard unix handles passed around for stdio? Thanks, Chris

winedbg again :-)
by Max July 30, 2002

July 30, 2002

Some questions about winedbg usability ! 1) - Would it difficult to add an options (something like SHOWREGS=on/off) that allows to have regs displayed automatically after a breakpoint AND after a NEXTI command ? I find it painful to have to issue NEXTI and then INFO REGS each time.... remember old good ms-dos debugger !!! :-) 2)- What about the possibility to set off-code breakpoints ? It happens often that I must set a break (in asm code) that is in a DLL which isn't already loaded... That gives a BAD ADRESS, of course. Borland debugger accepts the breakpoints and set it when the code gets loaded. Now the only way is to set breaks in dll-loading routine, wait up to the wanted dll gets loaded and then put the break... awful ! 3)- And now the difficultest ! After solving the point 2, what about a way to store/retrieve breakpoints settings from disk ? Finding a bug in asm code often requires days (hmmm... nights !) of stepping, and a way to save breakpoints settings would spare tons of notes on paper :-) Regards Max

I may well ask you to add some more TRACEs in the code to help me understand better what happens (ie if it's blocking in Wine code or in application code). But I would be interested on a +opengl trace too. And maybe you should try to remove all trace of glide2x.dll of your system (maybe once Tribes manages to load the glide2x it cancels OpenGL as it supposes that a system with Glide2x will work better with it than with OpenGL).

Including winnt.h
by LUSTBADER,STEVE (Non-A-hsgAndover,ex1) July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

I ran into a problem (syntax error) with some functions that are declared __cdecl using WineLib. Including winnt.h directly fixed the problem, but it doesn't seem like the right solution. Shouldn't winnt.h be included automatically (ie, by another header file somewhere that's included by WineLib)? I'm not really sure how to track that down, which is why I emailed the list. ****************************** Steve Lustbader

The problem is this line in X11DRV_EnumDeviceFonts: if (physDev->dc->gdiFont) return FALSE; so if the font is "MS Sans Serif", it will return 0, and old VB apps at least won't like that.

question on _lclose16

What does this mean? Taking it out doesn't seem to hurt anything. I understand from this block: static void FILE_InitProcessDosHandles( void ) { dos_handles[0] = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); dos_handles[1] = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); dos_handles[2] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); dos_handles[3] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); dos_handles[4] = GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE); } why we don't want to close those handles probably. But why would I see that message, do sloppy windows programs try to close a range of handle numbers or something? Tell me what needs to be properly converted to what and I'll try to do it :P

CUPS and Wine
by David D. Hagood July 28, 2002

July 28, 2002

I've been having trouble with my RH7.2 LPRng based printing, so I decided I'd try installing CUPS. After fighting for hours to get this so-called easier printing system installed and working, I finally got to where I could print from Linux apps. Now, however, Wine steadfastly refuses to bring up a meaningful print dialog. I've gone into system.reg and win.ini and removed all the entries relating to the printing system, to no avail. Wine sort of recognises that there is a printer named "Color" managed by CUPS, but it cannot get any kind of properties for it - no paper size, no queue, and any attempt to accept the dialog is either ignored or results in a fault. This is with a CVS pull and clean rebuild as of 30 minutes ago. Where do I go from here?

CallNextHookEx16 strageness
by Michael Stefaniuc July 27, 2002

July 27, 2002

Hello, while trying to convert HHOOK to a void* i found this strangeness: CallNextHookEx16 expects its first parameter to be a real HHOOK, that means it checks the HIWORD of the HHOOK to see it it contains 'HK' if (HIWORD(hhook) != HOOK_MAGIC) return 0; /* Not a new format hook */ In wine there are only 2 functions that call CallNextHookEx16, one is DefHookProc16, the other is ShellHookProc16. The first one calls CallNextHookEx16 with first parameter queue->hCurHook (an HANDLE16), the second one with WH_SHELL (the number 10). This parameters gets implicitly transformed to a HHOOK and will have their HIWORD set to 0, thus CallNextHookEx16 will always fail and return 0. I don't know what the right fix would be, I'm seeing two possibilities: - remove in CallNextHookEx16 the check if (HIWORD(hhook) != HOOK_MAGIC) return 0; - or transform in DefHookProc16 and ShellHookProc16 the first parameter passed to CallNextHookEx16 to a real HHOOK with the HIWORD set to 'HC' Comments? bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart

However the structure of both the .wine/config and registries and thier contents has changed over time and as new features are added to wine. For example over time more functionality has been added to the various dlls and in the default config file various dlls now default to builtin rather than native. So running wineinstall once a month and letting it overwrite your old config is not a really bad idea. Your old config is called config.sav and you can run "diff -u config.sav config>config.dif" to see what it has changed . Tony Lambregts

Shouldn't it be: xstart = tmpfn + strlen(tmpfn) - 1; Here's why: If tmpfn is "X", then strlen(tmpfn) = 1. Hence, xstart will point to the '\0' at the end of the string, and hence the loop will never be run. Other than that, your patch looks great.

Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug
by Kristoffer Ericson July 26, 2002

July 26, 2002

Just a small update: I load the Dinput.dll (DirectX5, but DX6 works also) that fixes keyboard. I'm trying now to get OpenGL to work, i've run through the ./configure --enable-opengl, and checked the config.log to see that everything checks out (Which it does). OpenGl in X windows works fine OpenGl in windows demos also works fine (tried a couple small ones, where i clearly can see that opengl is in use) When i run the game it doesn't detect my OpenGL (i can't select it under video) so i've been trying to get it to work all day. When using a -dll opengl32.dll=n it can set the mode to opengl, but Tribes immediatly crashes after klicking apply. I've checked around on the web and found some old logs that tell about the exact same problem. http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2001/03/0630.html (OPENGL in Tribes) I get the exact same errors as that person, minus the mouse errors.. I've also tried an interesting thing that could be of some use for others, considering Tribes also can use Glide i got an idea to try a windows Glide-Wrapper = Translates Glide instructions into OpenGL. It worked somewhat, but due the lack of any 100% glidewrappers and that they are generally slow it wasn't a good solution. But i can imagine other "glide" based games would work with this, if there's no other choice. Isn't there anyway to nativly do this in linux?

Re: Threading on Solaris
by Gregg Mattinson July 25, 2002

July 25, 2002

Hey everyone. I've been trying to update threads by following Francois' directions, and I think I may have come across a bug. Can someone help me out here... Why does the SYSLEVEL structure have a CRITICAL_SECTION inside it? Shouldn't a mutex be used instead? According to MSDN, the function EnterCriticalSection has the following property: If a thread terminates while it has ownership of a critical section, the state of the critical section is undefined. Also, WaitForSingleObject returns WAIT_ABANDONED if: the specified object is a mutex object that was not released by the thread that owned the mutex object before the owning thread terminated. Ownership of the mutex object is granted to the calling thread, and the mutex is set to nonsignaled. So, if a thread _EnterSysLevel and is then terminated, no other threads can enter that sys level. This seems wrong to me... Should I replace the CRITICAL_SECTION with a mutex? Any objections? Or, should EnterCriticalSection be fixed so that it has similar behaviour to WaitForSingleObject, instead of "undefined" behaviour (which is currently to block forever) Let me know what you guys think, Gregg Mattinson Co-op Developer Sun Microsystems of Canada >From: Gregg Mattinson <gm138242(a)opcom-mail.canada.sun.com> >Subject: Re: Threading on Solaris >To: wine-devel(a)winehq.com >Cc: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com >Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 07:21:46 -0400 (EDT) > >Threads on Solaris are a big issue for Sun, so I will start tackling this >problem today.

Sounds like we need some regression tests that run DOS progams like 'find' and 'more', and make sure they work properly. I myself use the sourcesafe commandline tools, which are of the sort that just pipe characters to stdout and from stdin, and was horrified to discover that sometime after 9/2001, wine stopped running them correctly -- it started putting stdout in raw mode (!), which caused all line-oriented reads from stdin to fail. It also did curses initialization (!!), which made things look very messy indeed. I'm still running my snapshot from around 9/2001, but if I ever get up the energy, maybe I'll write a regression test to make sure e.g. DOS "more" works correctly. - Dan

Re: dos console apps question
by Jukka Heinonen July 25, 2002

July 25, 2002

Yes, many DOS console apps don't work under plain Wine because DOS emulation does not create console for the applications. Some applications actually make Wine crash because the application gets illegal coordinates when GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo fails. The correct place for console allocation would likely be VGA_SetAlphaMode; call to normal Windows AllocConsole() function should be enough, no server calls are needed. Additionally, if DOS console application tries to call a routine that requires console, VGA_SetAlphaMode should be called in order to initialize console (see VGA_SetCursorPos). I have been thinking doing this myself, but I have always ended up being uncertain about how this change is going to affect piping input and output of DOS programs that use only stream IO and not console IO. Anyway, I don't have time for this stuff so I would appreciate if you could work on this. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

It was one of those things I did awhile ago, and was going to look into more, but never got around to. I found this problem on two applications, and now it is apparently showing up on two more.

The problem appears to be here, at about line 779 in windows/painting.c: else /* entire window or client depending on RDW_FRAME */ { if( flags & RDW_FRAME ) hRgn = 1; else { GETCLIENTRECTW( wndPtr, r2 ); hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); } } Reading the MS docs, it appears to me that in this case RDW_FRAME should be ignored. What happens is the program has an area that needs to be repainted, but this part of the code causes only a portion to be repainted, leaving a portion of the screen still "invalidated". This causes another paint request, which since nothing has changed, still does not result in the correct repainting. And so it is stuck in an indefinite loop. This rather simple patch appears to fix things, but I did not submit it because it did not completely clear up the screen corruption (for example testing on Kaleidegraph, for which a free download is available somewhere...), though it did stop this bug: Index: windows/painting.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/windows/painting.c,v retrieving revision 1.71 diff -u -r1.71 painting.c --- windows/painting.c 5 Jul 2002 01:23:31 -0000 1.71 +++ windows/painting.c 25 Jul 2002 00:44:15 -0000 @@ -779,15 +779,9 @@ OffsetRect( &r2, pt.x, pt.y ); hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); } - else /* entire window or client depending on RDW_FRAME */ + else /* entire window */ { - if( flags & RDW_FRAME ) hRgn = 1; - else - { - GETCLIENTRECTW( wndPtr, r2 ); - hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); - } } }

DTR / DTS vs RTS/CTS vs Wine
by List vmn July 25, 2002

July 25, 2002

Hi, I am testing a serial printer driver that uses DTR/DTS hardware flow control on wine. While testing the driver running winedbg everything worked, not so when I ran the program directly from wine. I sent this problem to the printer manufacturer and they put a data scope on the serial line. It seems that the DTR/DTS signal was not being caught by the computer and therefore the computer was sending info over the serial port when the printer was not ready. I read on the net that the linux kernel does not implement DTR/DTS but only RTS/CTS hardware flow control. I also read that it is usual for cables to be built that connect the RTS/CTS pins to the DTR/DTS pins therefore tricking the computer and printer [the computer understands RTS/CTS and the printer DTR/DTS ] and getting good results. The output of --debugmsg +comm after SetCommState was called was ~IXONN ~IXOFF. Can anybody indicate that If I build the correct cable and ask for RTS/CTS with SetCommState , that the serial io will work? Any limitation of wine with RTS/CTS? Is it correct that windows does not do ANY hardware flow control? If so, how can this app work under windows since it only uses standard SetCommState, ReadFile, WriteFile calls... Thanks, Miguel Feitosa

Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug
by Kristoffer Ericson July 25, 2002

July 25, 2002

Greetings, I've been working with this problem for about 2 weeks now (play alot of tribes) and it's finally working with keyboard. I tried dinput about a week ago but couldn't make it work but as you said i should have used directx5 or 6 instead. Keyboard works fine but i still have other issues, to make the game fully functional. Dsound komplains somewhat and the sound sounds pitched (plays to fast, thus giving the smurf syndrom), i tried to use -dll dsound.dll but it says that it can't find the file. I know i've done right so i checked around on irc.openprojects.net and they said that not all -dll's can be used natively, is this right? Also i fail to get opengl to work, i simply can't select it in game. Any ideas? I've compiled with --enable-opengl and i've run a testprogram using opengl which works fine. Tribes running in fullscreen mode it feels slow and strange, but running it in window mode makes it feel fast and stable. Why? i tried to use native ddraw.dll but then the game won't even start, there's just a black screen. Thank you for all your support, considering i've been running around looking at homepages and chatting on irc when you all solved my problem within 1 day, THANKS(!). Other than that Tribes works fine. >From: Steven Edwards <steven_ed4153(a)yahoo.com> >To: Kristoffer Ericson <kristoffer_e1(a)hotmail.com>, wine-devel(a)winehq.com >Subject: Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug >Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 15:11:53 -0700 (PDT) > >You need to use the windows dinput.dll as ours is (still) not up to spec.

Calling a winelib program (wcmd) from inside wine with arguments
by Uwe Bonnes July 25, 2002

July 25, 2002

Hallo, how do I call a winelib programm with arguments from inside wine. I tried several appoaches in a first hack for Batch file support in wine, but I didn't succeed. It seemed that either the winelib programm insisted on the "--" divider or it tried to interpret it.

Never mind, if WAS a stupid question :-) For who needs it too, just add __asm__("int $0x03\n\t") ; at the required point, maybe inside an huge if(....) Regards Max
