include/cursoricon.h

by Michael Stefaniuc

Hello, the conversion of HICON to void* seems to be a hard one ... while trying to do that i found that msdn dosn't know anything about include/cursoricon.h, it seems to be an internal header and therefor should go to dlls/user/ or at least to include/wine. I could do a patch for that. An other question: in windows/cursoricon.c there are some internal functions, that are using a HGLOBAL for a HICON or HCURSOR. I would change that to HICON because HCURSOR is compatible to HICON and HGLOBAL seems too generic (HGLOBAL is a HANDLE and thus wont catch any handle conflicts). 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

If you are doing the kernel part too, why don't you pass the interpreter as argv[0]? That's the way binfmt_misc does it under Linux, and it's a lot more useful since you can use anything you want as interpreter, you are not limited to specially modified apps. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Lotus Notes 5.0 Installation problem

by Boris

I have downloaded the latest CVS today and compiled it and tried installing the Lotus Notes 5.0 Client part only. The installation got further then last time I checked [Their used to be a problem that when I ran install, the parent window didnt show up so it looked like an empty screen indefinately] but now when I run nlnotes.exe, It asks me to setup for the first time and it says that I have successfully installed lotus notes and then it asks me to select which Time Zone I am in but theirs *nothing* that I can select. I dont see any time zones? Any ideas why their arent any timezones and does that have to be added to Wine?

just for your info

by Igor

Found here: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-ivit.html?n-l-9262 the following: W: But the trade-off is that you break backward compatibility to get there. Mosberger: From a technical point of view, it's clearly what you want to do, and it's not quite correct to say it's breaking backward compatibility. Itanium is as backward compatible as anything else out there. The performance of x86 code isn't all that great, but quite frankly I use it every day to do Acrobat, Open Office, RealPlayer, those kinds of things. I think that point is overstated, especially for Linux, because all of the important open source software has been ported to 64-bit and recompiled native for IA-64, so the only things you need to run in emulation mode are those proprietary apps that, for whatever reasons, you can't get natively. And for those, it's just fine. Last week, I ran TaxCut under WINE on an IA-64 Linux machine and it worked fine -- even performance-wise.

Re: Add support for CCSelect sound

by Eric POUECH

>Objet : Add support for CCSelect sound Hi Guy, I wonder if a call to WCHAR name[] = { 'C','C','S','e','l','e','c','t','\\','.','c','u','r','r','e','n','t',0}; PlaySound(name, 0, SND_ALIAS|SND_ASYNC); wouldn't do the trick (didn't check it, but it's very likely it's gonna work). I can't test it (I'm away from my home PC will all my wine env) A+

I found the problem I had : Because of a clock skew, I made a 'touch' on my entire repository because updated files had dates set in the future. And because the dates of the files are false, cvs was running very slow as it check all files, line after line. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
