Using WIN32 DLL from Unix library
by Vittorio Ballestra April 7, 2003

April 7, 2003

Hello, I'd like create a unix shared library that will make some call to a WIN32 DLL using wine. Is this possible, and if it is so, where may I find some documentation pointers on how to achieve this ? Tnx, Vittorio

Re: [msimg32] Implements GradientFill
by Roderick Colenbrander April 6, 2003

April 6, 2003

I think this patch shouldn't be applied. Today I was playing with some winxp apps that spit out a lot of unimplemented stuff. I found the following undocumented function: GdiGradientFill. After some searching on google I found some info about a function that looks a lot like it (brother or sister). This is the prototype as it can be used from good old VB: Declare Function GdiGradientFillRect Lib "gdi32" Alias "GdiGradientFill" (ByVal hdc As Long, pVertex As TRIVERTEX, ByVal dwNumVertex As Long, pMesh As GRADIENT_RECT, ByVal dwNumMesh As Long, ByVal dwMode As Long) As Long compare with: BOOL WINAPI GradientFill( HDC hdc, TRIVERTEX *vert_array, ULONG nvert, void * grad_array, ULONG ngrad, ULONG mode ) Mike Hearn and I assume that GdiGradientFill and GradientFill are the same. The one redirects to the other. Creating circular dependecies isn't a good problem I think. So I think this code should be moved to gdi32 and that msimg32 forwards it.

Clearly c) because that will work properly even when doing hotplugging of pcmcia cards and doing interactive dialup to an isp. Might want to cache it for 10 seconds or something, and you might need to worry about what happens when programs are reading the reg entries *while* an interface is changing. (heh.) BTW there is a system call getifaddrs on many flavors of Unix that does this kind of query, and there's a library implementation of it for linux. See http://www.kegel.com/dkftpbench/dkftpbench-0.45/getifaddrs.c http://www.kegel.com/dkftpbench/dkftpbench-0.45/getifaddrs.h The registry code should probably just call this function. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

Wine and Glibc 2.3.2
by Roderick Colenbrander April 5, 2003

April 5, 2003

Hi, I know there are/were glibc 2.3x problems and wine. My system is running Debian Unstable. I'm trying to help the mono guys a bit with Windows.Forms. Because of some bugs in the glibc 2.3.1-16 version debian is using, the winelib based app needed by mono didn't work. (dlopen related problems) I upgraded my glibc to 2.3.2-1 using the packages that will move into Debian soon. I recompiled my wine (latest from cvs) and wine itself runs. (still the /tmp problems ..) Compared to other distributions which use 2.3.2 debian isn't using nptl. Monostub (the winelib app from mono) and winedbg are not working fine. Is it correct that Wine still isn't compatible with glibc2.3.2 version that are not using nptl? For example I'm getting errors like this when trying to use monostub but winedbg isn't being launched: wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x4029486b Thanks, Roderick Colenbrander

Re: Implements languagegroups functions

Hi, Just a few comments, things that have been mentioned to me so I should probably pass along :) Here: - FIXME("stub\n"); - SetLastError( ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER ); - return FALSE; + TRACE("\n"); + + unsigned int i,j,nStrLen; Normally you'd put a TRACE with the parameters passed after the variable declarations, I think otherwise it might violate strict C. Also putting the parameters into the trace statement makes debugging easier as you don't have to decode a relay trace to see what was given. Again, I'm not a C expert but I think it's invalid strict C to declare variables half way through a block, they all have to be at the top of the function together. + } + + // 1 to 17 is the constants for LGRPID_xxx + for(i=1;i<=17;i++) { + sprintfW(val,valm,i); + length = sizeof(installed); Wine doesn't like C++ style comments (//) because some C compilers don't accept them, I think you have to use /* */ Not sure how rigidly this rule is followed though.

Launching files with params
by Vilppa Salt April 5, 2003

April 5, 2003

Hello! This kind of command fails with wcmd: start /wait somebatfile.bat This was related to the T++ and random garbage characters bug. When executables are launched from other executables Wine freaks out and used to output T++ and random garbage characters. Now wine doesn't do that anymore but outputs: Sharing violation However, if run such a program with --debugmsg +seh this happens: U++ €&#"/#&(&)€(€( So the bug is still remaining in the debug channel (I guess). One program that does this is Valentine Dancer winamp plugin (nice visualizer BTW :) It can be downloaded from: http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/detail.jhtml?componentId=44849 It extracts two files to the windows\temp directory (valentinesdancer_winamp.exe and wtinstallpimp.bat) and runs the bat file which is: @echo off if NOT EXIST %1\valentinesdancer_winamp.exe exit start /wait %1\valentinesdancer_winamp.exe del %1\valentinesdancer_winamp.exe del %1\wtinstallpimp.bat and the crash happens at the start /wait command because Wine doesn't find the file. Attached is the debulog.txt that should have the relevant parts of the --debugmsg +relay output. So actually there are two bugs here. The debugmsg +seh bug and the wcmd bug. I hope here is enough information for someone to fix these. --- Vilppa- Sunpoint.net ilmoittaa: Sunpoint.net tarjoaa kaikille rekisteröityneille käyttäjilleen kuukausimaksuttoman Internet -yhteyden (pvm). http://www.sunpoint.net/SunAds/click.htm?mode=footer&id=71&jump=http%3A%2F%…

gdi32 and wine
by KK singh April 5, 2003

April 5, 2003

Hi, I am new to wine and it seems I would be sticking to it for sometime. I saw the builtin gdi32.dll specs. They seem quite different from What I see in dependency walker for gdi32 on windows xp. Actually, due to this difference, I get Function Not implemented error when i run wine. I am using the 20030318 build of wine from winehq. When i opened the gdi32.spec.c file, the header says it is automatically generated and that it should not be edited. Now, I want to contribute to wine by updating the builtin gdi32.dll parallel to the native one installed on xp. But, how to go ahead with it ?? Or more precisely How gdi32.spec.c is generated using winebuild. How can I add missing functions.. (NamedEscape) and how can i update export table of gdi32.dll.so Any suggestions pointers are welcome TIA kks __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Chances are very high that with every new function you implement even as stub you just run into the next missing export!

This library looks to me like a full featured font type manager and then some. Does a full API description exist at all? How big are the chances, that implementing such a library will conflict sooner or later with patents of some sort?
