Run-time NPTL detection
by Vincent Béron Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

This is a first patch to let Wine run on either an NPTL enabled or not system. The remaining issues deal with linking ntdll to libpthread, and autodetection in configure. It's not production-ready yet, I'm aware that there are a couple rough edges (ie, nptl_check passing from libwine to ntdll, wine_pthread_init_(process,thread)_no_nptl, what really happens if run on a system without NPTL). It's been tested on RH9 with NPTL. Comments? Vincent

configure check for Xrandr extension
by Alex Pasadyn Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

When I originally submitted the patch to check for RandR during configuration, part of it looked like this: > + AC_CHECK_HEADERS(X11/extensions/Xrandr.h, > + [ dnl *** If X11/extensions/Xrandr.h exists... > + AC_CHECK_LIB(Xrandr, XRRSetScreenConfigAndRate, > + [ AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBXRANDR, 1, [Define if you have the Xrandr library]) > + X_PRE_LIBS="$X_PRE_LIBS -lXrandr -lXrender" > + ],, > + $X_LIBS -lXext -lX11 -lXrender $X_EXTRA_LIBS > + ) > + ], > + AC_MSG_WARN([[Xrandr extension not found, Wine will be built without it]]), > + [#include <X11/Xlib.h>]) > + But the version that made it into CVS did not include the -lXrender. At least on my system, the check fails without that because the Xrandr library itself calls functions in Xrender. Is there a better way to specify that dependency or was this unintentional? Alex

one more thing about resolutions
by Alex Pasadyn Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

One more thing I noticed about resolution changing: Sometimes a program running with Wine terminates without cleaning everything up. When XVidMode is used to switch resolutions, the user can use ctrl-alt-plus/minus to restore the resolution. Those don't work when the resolution was changed with RandR. A user would need to run xrandr -s 0 to restore it. Since that may be hard for some to remember, is it worth including a trivial Winelib program that does the same thing? ChangeDisplaySettings(NULL, 0); is all it needs to do to restore the default mode. I have been testing using a simple program that puts up a dialog box listing all the modes and lets you choose them. Is that worth including somewhere/merging with winecfg? Alex

uxtheme: msstyles ini files
by Kevin Koltzau Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

Within an msstyles file the primary specification is basically a unicode INI file within one of the resources (well, there are a few ini files for different parts of the theme) Currently I'm extracting the ini file from resources into a temp file, and then using GetPrivateProfile* to retrieve values..which is a lot of work :) the fact its an ini file is really meaningless as I basically just enumerate every section/key and load it into an internal table. I would like to remove the need to dump the ini file into the file system then call a (large) number of GetPrivateProfile* functions..but I also don't want to duplicate ini file processing One possible solution would be to call the PROFILE_* functions (which are located in kernel/profile.c) directly which seem to work in a way that would make this very easy, but overall sounds like a very bad idea... I think I answered my own question, but feedback would be very welcome.

openssl-based win32 programs
by Geoff Thorpe Oct. 16, 2003

Oct. 16, 2003

Hi all, I have just sent a post to the openssl list trying to solicit any developers of openssl-based win32 programs to try their programs under Wine. Eric Pouech helped me recently by fixing the one or two glitches in Wine that the openssl libs and utilities were stumbling on, and so openssl seems now to pose no problems for Wine. Anyhow, I just thought I'd post a link to this 'openssl-users' thread in case there's anyone else interested in this (in particular, if you think I've misrepresented anything about Wine or the process of testing win32 applications under it, feedback would be welcome); http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssl-users&m=106626702426381&w=2 Cheers, Geoff -- Geoff Thorpe geoff(a)geoffthorpe.net http://www.geoffthorpe.net/

If docbook is not installed then generating the doc should definitely yield an error. You are free to ignore the error in the rpm generation, but the makefile should still report it. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
