Good News : WineMine Works on Mac OS X :)
by Pierre d'Herbemont July 16, 2003

July 16, 2003

Hey! I have some good news. I am able to play with WineMine on Mac OS X :) See the screenshot here: http://stegefin.free.fr/WineMine.jpg But comctl32 is not working and probably some others dlls, so I still have some work, but this is a good step. Cheers, Pierre PS : I would like to know if the color of winemine are the colors which are supposed to be, thanks.

Locales with the same language
by Vincent Béron July 16, 2003

July 16, 2003

I have problems displaying Wine's app in my locale (fr_CA). They seem to prefer to go to the English locale, although if launched with LANG=fr_FR wine notepad they will obey the French locale. LANG=fr wine notepad will display a warning about the plurality of locales with "fr", but will display the app in French nonetheless. I have a feeling it might be from dlls/kernels/nls/frc.nls, where both LOCALE_IDEFAULTLANGUAGE and LOCALE_ILANGUAGE are defined as "0c0c", while for fra.nls (fr_FR) LOCALE_IDEFAULTLANGUAGE and LOCALE_ILANGUAGE are defined as "040c". Somebody else noticed this, or have an explanation? Vincent

IFAIK, this is how apartments are implemented and this comes from Windows 3.1. Christian.

Doesn't help. I tried it. It still does that horrid ncurses stuff, and setting ttydrv to 'none' doesn't help. It looks like wineconsole is only useful for non-filters. It might be fine for, say, a win32 implementation of vi, but not for one of ls. Ideally, one should be able to use Windows commandline tools that don't try to position the cursor as normal Unix commandline tools. The commandline client for Microsoft Source Safe is a perfect example. The unix user doesn't want to know he's using Wine; he wants to be able to say 'ss get foo.c' and grab the latest foo.c from sourcesafe. (This requires having a little shell script or alias to translate ss into wine ss.exe, but that's easy.) I've used Wine for over a year like this, and it really helped integrate Linux into the Windows network where I work. It was hard to set up, so periodically I try setting it up from scratch without any tricks to see if it's gotten easier (or harder!) in the meantime. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

Help with Errors on Darwin
by Pierre d'Herbemont July 15, 2003

July 15, 2003

Hey! I am having some success on darwin. I am able to run small winelib exe like expand.exe.so... I am still having trouble with comctl32 which won't loads (this is symbols lookup related). I have also trouble with the x11drv, and I would like someone helps on the errors I get. With every exe I get: err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report MyComment : allocating DOS mem to 0xb20000 fixme:reg:GetSystemInfo not yet supported on this system err:heap:HEAP_CreateSystemHeap system heap base address 0x65430000 not available Are those errors deranging or could exes run with them without trouble? expand at least is ok with those. But when I try to launch winemine, the x11drv fails when it launch, here is the backtrace on gdb (it gives a Bad access signal): #0 GetProcessHeap () at ../../memory/heap.c:229 #1 0x016c37cc in X11DRV_PALETTE_BuildSharedMap (sys_pal_template=0xbfffda30) at ../../graphics/x11drv/palette.c:563 #2 0x016c2c04 in X11DRV_PALETTE_Init () at ../../graphics/x11drv/palette.c:227 #3 0x016c10c8 in X11DRV_GDI_Initialize (display=0x1) at ../../graphics/x11drv/init.c:60 #4 0x016e145c in process_attach () at x11drv_main.c:359 #5 0x016e17a4 in DllMain (hinst=0x1, reason=24099216, reserved=0x0) at x11drv_main.c:485 #6 0x006c03a4 in MODULE_InitDLL (wm=0x301690, reason=1, lpReserved=0x0) at loader.c:574 #7 0x006c05b8 in MODULE_DllProcessAttach (wm=0x301690, lpReserved=0x0) at loader.c:660 #8 0x006c1484 in LdrLoadDll (path_name=0x1, flags=0, libname=0x0, hModule=0xbfffdde0) at loader.c:1170 #9 0x00692108 in LoadLibraryExA (libname=0x1 <Address 0x1 out of bounds>, hfile=0x16fb990, flags=0) at ../../loader/module.c:699 #10 0x00df2e20 in load_driver () at user_main.c:72 #11 0x00df3568 in process_attach () at user_main.c:231 #12 0x00df36c8 in UserClientDllInitialize (inst=0x1, reason=24099216, reserved=0x0) at user_main.c:302 #13 0x006c03a4 in MODULE_InitDLL (wm=0x2d08a8, reason=1, lpReserved=0x1) at loader.c:574 #14 0x006c05b8 in MODULE_DllProcessAttach (wm=0x2d08a8, lpReserved=0x1) at loader.c:660 #15 0x006c056c in MODULE_DllProcessAttach (wm=0x2d0658, lpReserved=0x1) at loader.c:652 #16 0x006adeb4 in start_process (arg=0x1) at ../../scheduler/process.c:455 #17 0x006cf4cc in SYSDEPS_SwitchToThreadStack (func=0x5b58c <interlocked_xchg_add>, arg=0x16fb990) at sysdeps.c:246 #18 0x006ae470 in __wine_process_init (argc=1, argv=0xbffffc4c) at ../../scheduler/process.c:591 #19 0x0005b1fc in wine_init (argc=2, argv=0xbffffc48, error=0xbffff790 "", error_size=1024) at loader.c:439 #20 0x00001d4c in main (argc=1, argv=0x16fb990) at main.c:33 #21 0x00001ad4 in _start (argc=2, argv=0xbffffc48, envp=0xbffffc54) at /SourceCache/Csu/Csu-45/crt.c:267 #22 0x00001954 in start () I think it is related with the HEAP_CreateSystemHeap which fails. What is the system Heap, how is it allocated and how is it important? Thanks, Pierre.

good "beginners projects"?
by Jonathan Wilson July 15, 2003

July 15, 2003

I know a good deal about C and C++ and enough about Win32 API (plus there is always MSDN for win32 api stuff) but not that much about linux programming or about the WINE sources themselves. Is there something I can "hack on"?
