Vacation
by Alexandre Julliard Dec. 15, 2003

Dec. 15, 2003

Folks, There won't be any commits for a while, since I'm leaving now for a vacation in Switzerland, where I won't have net access. Assuming I survive the deprivation, I'll be back in two weeks. I hope you all have nice holidays, and I look forward to finding a few hundred patches in my mailbox when I get back... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

You can't do that, many of these tests succeed, which is not allowed inside todo_wine. And please try a 'make test' when you change a test, as already explained there's no point in submitting a patch that causes make test to fail. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

netapi32 and NetBIOS
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Dec. 15, 2003

Dec. 15, 2003

[sent also to samba-technical mailing list] hi, i've just been alerted to the netbios work in wine (hooray!) as part of an effort to get the network neighbourhood going (yippee!). there is a problem, which i can help overcome. the problem is this: imagine that there is no TCP/IP stack in linux. imagine that TCP/IP runs in two separate user-space services, both of which are GPL'd: the TCP service is a fork-on-demand one that binds to all interfaces, and the UDP service is even worse, it's a single-process running a state machine. let's pretend that neither of the processes understand anything but Web services, and now you want to add SMTP, or worse, HTTPS. you have to consider hard-coding and linking into a paired monolith of programs, and you have a licensing and logistical nightmare that is totally unacceptable for practical purposes. this is the situation that is faced by wine, because samba, which consists of two programs, smbd and nmbd, "controls" the NetBIOS transport, from both a server _and_ (due to some bugs in Windows) also a client perspective. a flawed attempt to make it possible to cut-in to the NetBIOS equivalent of Dynamic-DNS-plus-DHCP (the NBNS system on port 137) was added in 2000 into nmbd, however from the Wine perspective this is totally useless because the code to access the bypass mechanism is GPL'd (tdb - trivial database). happily there is a convenient way round the mess, because it is possible to create the equivalent of a "Network Address Translation" service, and working code along these lines, which maintained a state machine of NetBIOS connections, was created over three years ago. nmbd needs to talk via this NAT service, so does nmblookup and, once the code is all there, so does Wine's Network Neighbourhood browsing code. at present, all you have to do to get the Wine "Network Neighbourhood" code to work is to disable samba, which is going to be totally impractical for most people. it is not _yet_ necessary for such a service to be created, but by the time the NetBIOS code in wine is released, it will _become_ necessary. if anyone wants to sponsor me [pay money] to revive the experiments i made in late 1999 / early 2000 in order to implement a NetBIOS "NAT" service, please contact me. l. -- -- expecting email to be received and understood is a bit like picking up the telephone and immediately dialing without checking for a dial-tone; speaking immediately without listening for either an answer or ring-tone; hanging up immediately and then expecting someone to call you (and to be able to call you). -- every day, people send out email expecting it to be received without being tampered with, read by other people, delayed or simply - without prejudice but lots of incompetence - destroyed. -- please therefore treat email more like you would a CB radio to communicate across the world (via relaying stations): ask and expect people to confirm receipt; send nothing that you don't mind everyone in the world knowing about...

Extended window flag
by Fabian Cenedese Dec. 15, 2003

Dec. 15, 2003

Hi I have an application where I get the styles from a window with GetWindowLong(m_hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE); In Windows I get 0x00000110 but in wine I get 0x40000110. From the wine headers (mine seem to old) I get this means 'managed by the system'. Is this something wine specific? Do I need to pay attention to this? If it's a valid Windows flag why isn't it set in Windows? If it's just wine specific can I just mask it out? Thanks bye Fabi

Wine Segmentation fault
by Fabian Cenedese Dec. 15, 2003

Dec. 15, 2003

Hi I have a problem with starting wine itself. After trying the CodeWeavers wine I wanted to get clean again and removed everything I could find only slightly wine related (/usr/bin, /usr/local... etc). I even removed my cvs of wine of a few days ago. Then I made a fresh checkout and did the complete install with wineinstall. But still after this whole procedure I cannot start wine. Any ideas? Knoppix (Kernel 2.4.22) fabi(a)lx_fabi:/usr/local/bin$ gdb wine GNU gdb 5.3-debian Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. .. snip .. This GDB was configured as "i386-linux"...

OK, I have to confess, I was drunk when I wrote that :-) My real point is - SFU is yet another set of windows programs we can use to test wine, may as well grab a copy while they're 'free'. - Dan
