I'm still not quite sure why A: and D: are not commented out if they are not found. If the user added a floppy then it could be made available again. For me I get the error each time, until I indentify the paths are wrong, then comment it out myself (or correct them). the fstab should have all the info to create a working "config" file though I think...

DLL Mapping in wine?

by Gerhard W. Gruber

When I use winedbg I noticed that it lists all the DLLs and so files that are loaded. In case of DLLs that are already present in wine the original DLL is requested and the appropriate so file is loaded. Where is that mapping done for wine to determine which so to load? I noticed that there is a setupapi.dll.so but the program tries to load setupapi.dll and setupx.dll.so is loaded instead. Is this correct? I would have expected setupapi.dll.so to be loaded. Consequently the program gets an exception telling me that it has some wrong INF stuff. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.

Bug in WineDbg

by Gerhard W. Gruber

Wine-dbg> wine_dbg_cmd: Exception c000013a fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed In the above example I pressed CTRL-C on the commandline from Winedbg. The exception message is shown and a dbg xterm window has been opened. After exiting from gdb winedbg exits. Is this a bug? I suppose so. :) -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

That's not how it works under Windows, is it? I've never used shift when copying from a dos window in Windows. It's always "click on the mark icon", select, "click on the copy icon". Maybe what I'm looking for is those icons in the toolbar of wineconsole... Also, on those occasions where I've dared to try copy and paste in spite of the gyrations you have to go through to enable it, it produced corrupted data. In particular, duplications. That's right -- not only was it hard to try, but it didn't work right once I figured it out. This was three months ago or so, I think. I'll try it again soon and see if it's improved. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

I fixed a bug last week on this issue (especially, if you increased the window size by hand before selecting/copying) A+ -- Eric Pouech

We sometimes doubt will be able to support correctly FindFirstChangeNotification under Wine without proper kernel support, which doesn't exist yet... so it'd be a hard task A+ -- Eric Pouech

miranda

by Geoff Thorpe

Hi all, I've been fishing round for something resembling a feature-full yet not overly flakey I-M client (with support for the commonly-used protocols). After finding many of the X11-native clients insufficient in many respects, I'd been making do with trillian under wine. However that too experiences many problems and the modern win32 obsession of creating irritating GUI mutations is probably the reason. Eg. window creation sometimes hangs wine, dragging window location sometimes hangs wine, fonts seem to go haywire from time to time, preferences dialog seems to have various breakages, etc. So I was interested in trying out "Miranda I-M" which looked from the screenshots (in default mode anyhow) to be a reasonably conventional-looking win32 GUI client and seems to be under active development judging by sourceforge stats. Unfortunately after installation, which went pretty well, the program fails to start quite early on with this; fixme:file:FindFirstChangeNotificationA this is not supported yet (non-trivial). <sigh> Am I going to regret enquiring what this means? :-) So my question is in two parts; (1) is the above something that I can work on and/or help anyone else work on? (2) does anyone know of any other win32-based I-M client (supporting at least ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, AIM) that is stable under wine?

That would be the least confusing of all, I'd think. wineconsole has exactly the same behavior as windows... quick edit flag comes from Windows wineconsole registry layout is the same as Windows' and in Windows, quick edit flag is off by default >> I'm not saying this is easy to find out, but there's no other way out >> of it (we could however have default values in our default registry to >> get correct behavior for most used apps) > > > Can this flag be set like in NT, where you click on the upper left > corner widget to bring up an edit menu? yes, in user backend mode, right click in the window, and select properties in the menu - you'll have the ability to pick up all the settings, either for current session, or to retain the settings for all further sessions of the same executable (in last dialog box after you click ok)... as Windows do!
