The poster shows the startup and > messages. If the version was printed by default, it could help debugging This will break apps checking on stdout output. It is also not very helpful, since for larger apps it will be printed dozens of times. Ciao, Marcus

How long for a patch?
by Gerhard W. Gruber May 18, 2003

May 18, 2003

I submitted a patch about a week (maybe more) ago to include a new DLL w95inf32 into wine. The patch has not been included and there was also no feedback as to why it is not included. How long does it usually take until a patch will be taken in? Or is there some other reason why this is not done? -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

Perl on Redhat 9 switches to character semantics
by Hans Leidekker May 18, 2003

May 18, 2003

Hi, On Redhat 9 I get errors like this one when doing a 'make htmlpages': Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x6e, immediately after start byte 0xfc) in substitution (s///) at ../../tools/c2man.pl line 313, <SOURCE_FILE> line 2. This is because I have LANG="en_US.UTF-8" as part of my environment, and perl will now switch to character semantics (as opposed to byte semantics) when it detects a Unicode character set. Wine source files contain characters with ordinals > 127 (it looks like the Wine sources are ISO_8859-1) and of course, these usually don't also form valid UTF-8 sequences. Off hand I see three solutions (in order of increasing acceptability): 1. Convert Wine source files to ASCII-7 or UTF-8 2. Set character set to "C" or "ISO8859-1" prior to running perl on the sources 3. Force perl back into using byte semantics 1. Most non-ASCII-7 characters are in C comments (in the names of authors, e.g. Ove Kåven). But there are files like dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c that contain them as part of a C string. Going this way would mean these characters would have to be escaped. Of course this is a step backwards. It would degrade readability of the sources and probably offend some awkwardly named authors ;^) It would also require a change of pratice, which is hard to accomplish. Converting to UTF-8 seems more promising. C strings still need to be escaped but then our Hungarian, authors can finally have their names spelled properly in the sources! Still, there are more programs that have to interpret C source files and I estimate that most of them do not yet handle UTF-8 properly (though vi and emacs are amongst the capable). 2. Changing the character set beforehand will get rid of the errors and is much less controversial than the above solution ;) But it's still cumbersome to have to do so. 3. This will work regardless of the character set specified in the user's environment. The attached patch does this for c2man.pl Bye, -Hans Changelog: Force perl to use byte semantics

PuTTY breakage uncovered
by Dimitrie O. Paun May 17, 2003

May 17, 2003

Alexandre, It seems that this patch: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/08/0158.html broke PuTTY. Before the patch, the dialog would come up, after the patch, it doesn't. You can get putty.exe from this link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe it requires no installation, just do $ wine putty.exe to run it. -- Dimi.

If we're not compatible with LPK, why add a DLL in the first place, and not implement those functions in their respective DLLs? -- Dimi.
