Good solid bug reports in bugzilla are the best way to get these bugs fixed. Please file as many bug reports as nessarry to document the difference in bahaviour using native vs built in . Also it is very easy to use CVS to keep up to date with Wine (to see if thing are fixed) if you are not already doing so. http://bugs.winehq.org Tony Lambregts

woops, I guess I didn't reply to all on all those emails back and forth with Rein. but for those who are intersted. it seems if one has the comctl32.dll and comdlg32.dll listed as native for newsbin, it will work pretty well, except for one big thing. It seems the main window disappears if you try to view the preference/otion window. The app works fine if you use the builtin version of those dll's instead, so I got around it, by setting the options I want up front, and then switching to the native dll's for real usage. if anyone has any other reccomendations for figuring out what happened, I'd be interested in hearing about it shaya On Fri, 2002-08-09 at 12:19, Rein Klazes wrote: > FOn 08 Aug 2002 22:08:41 -0400, you wrote: > > > [please cc: me as not subscribed to list] > > > > I was wondering if there was any wine hacker out there who was somewhat > > of a usenet binary user (for me its my version of tivo, don't have time > > to watch all the shows I want and vcd quality sucks, so the caps that > > are posted are useful).

I find it is quite useable, provided you use some native Windows dll's. I /think/ only the common control's are essential. One major problem with builtin common control is that performance drops to unacceptable levels when the listsviews get very long. Rein. (properly licensed) -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

As you have sources of the library you are trying to use you can create a minimal example which works on Windows but fails on Wine by commenting out unnecessary stuff.

You are also free to add the debugging message to Wine itself (install Wine from sources for this). Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

making FreeReport work...

by Grzegorz Prokopski

Hello! Since 2 days I am trying to get FreeReport working. (http://freereprot.sf.net/) It is important part of an app I am trying to use with wine. Or rather the part that causes the problem :-/ For tests - I created 10-liner app (with Borland C++ Builder) that only uses FR and calls one function from it. It crashes exactly the same way as the big app. I attached the output (it looks terribly in email clients, as the lines are much longer than 80 chars). However the line that starts all the problem is DLL/BPL initialization: 9 0x40d8656e (FREEREPORT.BPL.(a)Fr_prntr@initialization$qqrv+0x2e it than calls 8 0x406051b8 (VCL50.BPL.(a)Printers@TPrinter(a)GetPrinterIndex$qqrv+0x10 and so on... then I am getting: 0x41534d1a (PSDRV_UpdateDevCaps+0x3f2 [init.c:221] in wineps.dll.so): fldcw 0xfffffff8(%ebp) 221 physDev->horzSize = (physDev->horzRes * 25.4) / physDev->logPixelsX; physDev->logPixelsX is equal 0 (I tried to detect it is 0, and avoid error here, but if I do - then some related error was occuring elsewhere, so I belive that one should be fixed first) I have sources to freereport and to vcl, but I was unable to force builder to create BPLs with debug info that could be used with wine. It only creates the info as separate file freereport.tds. I tried year old FR and 3-week, fresh one - with the same result. So I think that is wine's bug. Questions: 1. Do you know of any way that would let me use builder's debug info? 2. Is anyone else digging ito this? Has anyone been trying to get freereport working with wine? (so that I didn't reinvent the wheel) 3. Can you give me some advices where to start? I know assembler, I can use dbg. Got the tools - what am I looking for? (I know winapi as I used it some time ago, but not VCL) I suspect there's some problem enumerating available printer devices (I disabled printing in wine config, but I was told that cups is being automatically detected anyway - I removed everything from /etc/printcap - nothing changes). FR/VCL tries to get data of a printer device that doesn't exist. For ex. in GDI_CallExtDeviceMode16 lpszDevice parameter string is empty - "". Any hints are welcomed Grzegorz B.

wine ui control hacker?

by Shaya Potter

[please cc: me as not subscribed to list] I was wondering if there was any wine hacker out there who was somewhat of a usenet binary user (for me its my version of tivo, don't have time to watch all the shows I want and vcd quality sucks, so the caps that are posted are useful). Well, the program I really depend on for this is newsbin pro (http://www.newsbin.com) it somewhat works in wine, but many of the ui controls just dont work right, which makes it very difficult to use. I've spoken with the author of the program, and he's interested in seeing the program work well under wine, so would be willing to throw in a license key to a wine developer who could get it working well under wine. The author doesn't want to be inundated with many "I can do it", so he asked me to vet people interested in working on it. you can get a trial version from the url I gave above so you can get an idea of what has to be done to get the program to work well. anyone interested? thanks

Bug #931

by Dusan Vujosevic

I seems that the problem I noted in bug #931 goes away when "PerfectGraphics" is set to false (????). I tracked the problem down to implementation of PATINVERT in BITBLT_InternalStretchBlt() (in graphics/x11drv/bitblt.c). It check whether 'perfect_graphics' is on and if it is it actually doesn't do the drawing: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (perfect_graphics()) break; Maybe I'm missing soemthing here but I think that test should be: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (!perfect_graphics()) break; That would give a more logical behaviour where there would not be any drawing errors when "PerfectGraphics" is set to True. (There are other spots where this is used in similar fashion) Another question is why have the "PerfectGraphics" option at all when it produces drawing artifacts? D.
