REQUEST: symlinks behaviour change
by Raul Dias Aug. 25, 2002

Aug. 25, 2002

Hi, I would like to suggest a new way for wine deal with symlinks in some situations. The change in wine should be trivial, however I would like to know how do you feel about this. When building a fake windows tree, some files are symlinks to winelib apps in the DLLDIR . e.g. c:\windows\notepad.exe -> /usr/lib/wine/notepad.exe.so c:\windows\system\regsvr32.exe -> /usr/lib/wine/regsvr32.exe.so Some applications tries to replace this files. The way they do this is to open the file for writting. However, if the fake_windows tree is owned by a non-root user (and wine is ran by a non-root user), but the DLLDIR files are owned by root, the open will fail. This is because the user has no writting permition to the symlink destination file. This is a Good Thing, because if wine was run by root, the file in the DLLDIR would probably be replaced. However, some applications needs to replace this files. I noted this with the Internet Explorer Installer (5.01 sp1 and 6.0). If it cannot replace the c:\windows\system\regsrv32.exe file it will abort. However, as the c:\windows\system\regsrv32.exe is a symlink and wine has permition to move/delete this symlink, I would link to suggest that wine first delete the symlink file when an application tries to write on it. This has 2 benefits: 1 - wine will be able to replace files that are symlinks to files it does not have write permition. 2 - root run wine programs will not overwrite files in the DLLDIR if it tries to overwrite the symlinks that points to them. So, what do you think? []'s Raul Dias

Hola Sorry about being so late in getting back to you but I've been busy. I'm going to adapt your test for mingw and commit it to the reactos tree so I can test our comctl32.dll.

Detecting wine
by Fabian Cenedese Aug. 24, 2002

Aug. 24, 2002

Hi Is there a possibility that a running program can detect if it's running on a real Win OS or if it's on Linux/Wine? I want to use this to disable stuff in my program that maybe won't run (yet) on Wine. Is there a variable in environments? Thanks Fabi

Wine Win98 setup problems...
by Steve M Aug. 24, 2002

Aug. 24, 2002

Hi, I am having problems getting Wine to startup right. I would like to know, is there a way you can use Windows 98 Second Edition setup CD from within Wine, or does it have to be pre-installed? (e.g. I did it with wine --winver win98 setup.exe) and here are the errors it came up with: fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetIdeInterface not implemented for BSD fixme:reg:GetSystemInfo noy yet supported on this system wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x2811563e I loaded the program using KDE 3.0, included in FreeBSD 4.6 Stable. Basically, this is the wine that came "out of the box"(as opposed to the tarball). I have checked other posts and I have corrected my .wine/config file for my cdrom, but it still comes up with the same error(This was based on the GetSystemInfo error msg). The only thing I changed was my config file and the error that complained about the SHAREDMEMLOCATION variable, which I copied from the source tarball(Wine-20020804.tar.gz). I tried to compile that source which is the same one on the CD, but to no avail. --------------------------- checking Wine base files --------------------------- 001. Checking for file "wine"...

Wine configuration correctness score: 68.64% ... Any hints on how to correct these errors? Also, my /dev/dsp is symlinked to /dev/dsp0. I have a Sound Blaster Live, which comes up as follows: bash-2.05a# dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> port 0xe000-0xe01f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 ... Anything to make this thing work right, is worth a try! Thanks for your time! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RFC: 'test' bugzilla keyword
by Francois Gouget Aug. 23, 2002

Aug. 23, 2002

Hi, I think that conformance test failures should generally be easier to analyze and fix than general application failures. Thus I think we may get a community of contributers interested in specifically tracking these issues to fix them, and that some in this community may not otherwise be interested in tackling the complex diagnosis of general application failures. In other words, if we make it easy to track conformance test issues in Bugzilla, we may get new contributers (sure I realize it's not a magic bullet either). Thus I propose to add a 'test' keyword to make it easy to find such issues in bugzilla for people specifically interested in conformance tests. This keyword would apply to reports concerning a conformance/regression test that: * fails to pass on Windows * fails to pass on Wine * fails to pass on specific architectures (e.g. FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.) Note that this would be different from the regression keyword which only applies to reports describing something that used to work and no longer works. Obviously, if a conformance test used to pass in Wine but no longer does, then both keywords would apply to the report. So for instance, if one finds that a conformance test passes on Win98 but not on NT4, then one would create a bug report with the keyword 'test' and OS 'Windows NT'. If a conformance test fails to pass on Solaris systems, then the report would have the 'test' keyword and the OS would be 'Solaris'. Comments / Objections / Better names for the keyword? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- from some indian guy

broken input
by sauer＠studcs.uni-sb.de Aug. 23, 2002

Aug. 23, 2002

i succeded to run the game "Wizardry 8" with original wine. Now the input is broken, almost every event is handled twice (e.g. i hit a and 2 a's appear, clicking with mouse results in doubleclick) and it does not seem to be a problem with dlls/x11drv/[event.c|keyboard.c|mouse.c]. Also the windows/input.c sends all requests only once! to see this insert in windows/input.c line 113 (the queue_raw_hardwar...): if (message == 0x0100) printf("request KeyDown\n"); if (message == 0x0101) printf("request KeyUp\n"); here, 0x0100 is WM_KEYDOWN, 0x0101 is WM_KEYUP now, i've added to scheduler/client.c line 745 (the wine_server_call): if (req->u.req.send_message_request.msg == 0x0100) \\ printf("sending KeyDown\n"); if (req->u.req.send_message_request.msg == 0x0101) \\ printf("sending KeyUp\n"); In most cases this results in two send_requests per action (mouse also) and sometimes (nondeterministic) i've got only one WM_KEYDOWN => only one keypress (at the end of the mail is some output). I'm stuck now at this point and do not know how to debug furhtermore. It's obvious that wine_server_call gets called twice (once from windows/input.c and the second time from ?!?). Can someone help me and tell me how to continue. What do I have to do now to find the bug ? mIc P.S.: Yes, beeing addicted to computer games make's me debug wine!!!!! Output: request KeyDown sending KeyDown sending KeyDown request KeyUp sending KeyUp sending KeyUp request KeyDown sending KeyDown sending KeyDown request KeyUp sending KeyUp request KeyDown sending KeyDown sending KeyDown request KeyUp sending KeyUp sending KeyUp request KeyDown sending KeyDown request KeyUp sending KeyUp sending KeyUp request KeyDown sending KeyDown sending KeyDown request KeyUp sending KeyUp sending KeyUp

freereport initialization crash - cups problem?
by Grzegorz Prokopski Aug. 23, 2002

Aug. 23, 2002

Hi! I finally narowed down the problem with crashing freereport app while it is initializing freereport dll. I got a workaround, but real fix should be trivial for someone who knows a bit more about wineps driver. App was crashing int wineps/init.c:PSDRV_UpdateDevCaps at: physDev->horzSize = (physDev->horzRes * 25.4) / physDev->logPixelsX because physDev->logPixelsX == 0 In wineps/init.c:PSDRV_CreateDC I see: physDev->logPixelsX = physDev->pi->ppd->DefaultResolution; physDev->logPixelsY = physDev->pi->ppd->DefaultResolution; in turn ppd->DefaultResolution is filled in wineps/ppd.c:PSDRV_ParsePPD where it scans for "*DefaultResolution" or "*DefaultJCLResolution" in ppd file. For me it was /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd (HP DeskJet 694C, Foomatic + cdj550) Unfortunatelly there was NO "DefaultResolution" information in it. For now, because the app has more problems with running (now it hangs) I just added: "DefaultResolution: 20" to this file. But long term solution would be IMO to check in either ppd.c or CreateDC if adequatly ppd->DefaultResolution or physDev->LogPixels* are not 0. If they are... hm... no idea - maybe we can somehow calculate some values for that? Surely it shouldn't stay as it is now. Dividing by zero in wine's code is Bad Thing(tm). Anyone would propose "the right fix" for this? Regards Grzegorz B. Prokopski

Bug in VirtualAlloc
by Robert Lunnon Aug. 23, 2002

Aug. 23, 2002

An Interesting one, on my system wine has been broken for a little while failing with a bad heap message I have tracked it down to one solitary line in Virtual.c:(115) and here it is : #define ADDRESS_SPACE_LIMIT ((void *)0xc0000000) /* top of the user address space */ when making an anonymous mmap Solaris returns (gdb) disp ptr 11: ptr = (void *) 0xdf620000 (ptr gets copied to base later) Which is somewhat larger than 0xc0000000 and a comparison at around line 1010 if ((base <= (char *)granularity_mask) || (base + size < base) || (base + size > (char *)ADDRESS_SPACE_LIMIT)) { SetLastError( ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER ); return NULL; } Fails Q. Why is there a hard limit on this ? Is this a Windows thing or a Linux thing. My only way to work around it would be to "strongly Suggest* mapping addresses to the OS which would be very messy. Suggestions (Constructive ones) warmly received Bob

quick question about windows.h and then a long one if anyone is interested.
by Steven Edwards Aug. 22, 2002

Aug. 22, 2002

I've been playing around with building the wine dlls with the headers in winsup for cygwin/mingw. I've included the mingw headers after the local directory but before inclusion of the wine headers. I can build some of the more simple like twain and mapi doing this but I must also include windows.h in the sources. I noticed in wines windows.h it says it should not be included internaly so I assume this is also wrong for Mingw/MS_VC. Simple Question: Is my assumption right? Long Question: If so then does anyone have any recommendations on testing 3rd party headers under mingw. Thanks Steven __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
