In Windows it uses any old printer driver just to open the printer port, then sends commands to the plotter through the printer driver. Should it not be possible to do this with Wine? Possibly not with CUPS though...

You can use Wine build system in order to test your dll. For that you just need to make your new dll a part of the Wine dll tree (which you will need to do anyway). Wine makefiles already have all the needed tweaks to strip stdcall @xx suffixes when building under MinGW or Cygwin. > Looks like my .spec file should work when I solve this bitblt problem, > finish testing and move the code over to linux to add it to my WINE tree. ok. -- Dmitry.

And [parallelports] "Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0" [ppdev] "378" = "/dev/parport0" [ports] "read" = "0x779,0x378,0x379,0x280-0x2a0" "write" = "0x779,0x378,0x379,0x280-0x2a0" in my ~/.wine/config Should this be enough to get it working? Or does the fact I get error messages about not being able to open LPT1 mean that the Windows program is behaving in such a way that the port access translation you describe will never work? > Perhaps look around if you don't > find some tool that talks to your device with direct hardware access.

having problems with my spec file for cards.dll
by Jonathan Wilson July 25, 2003

July 25, 2003

the MS Cards.dll is complled with "the dll does the cleanup" set to on (i.e. its using retn xx instructions). When I compile it, i get the @nn on the end of the names. This is a problem since cards.dll exports the names without the @nn How do I set things up in my .spec file?

I'm interested in how exactly it prevented you to compile them, as I didn't have any problem to do so (although some other errors have caused the compilation to fail in the past). Special more strict switch? Docbook validator? Vincent

Focus Bug
by Dimitrie O. Paun July 25, 2003

July 25, 2003

Summary: Clicking on the caption of a manage window does not move the focus as it should. This results in ugly artifacts. Steps to reproduce: 1. Fire up Notepad 2. Open the "Open" dialog (File | Open) 3. Expand the "Look in" dropdown (the one at the top, with the drives) 4. Click on the dialog caption, and drag it away Result: The dropdown does not close, and remains on the spot. Any way to know that the WM has now the focus, so we can release it? -- Dimi.

Still problmes about building winelib dll using winemaker and winedump
by dd jj July 25, 2003

July 25, 2003

Hello everyone, Sorry to bother if there are lots of repeated comments with my original posts... So far, I failed to use winelib dll generated by wine tools: 1)winemaker: I copied all windows source codes (.h .c .dll .dsp files which are used to build natives dll under visual studio) into one directory, then execute: %winemaker --lower-uppercase -nomfc . %./configure --with-wine-includes=/usr/local/inlcude/wine/windows %make When I run wine ./ping.exe it shows the error then terminate: err:module:import_dll Loading module (file) pingdll.dll (which is needed by C:\ping\ping.exe) failed (error -1073741595) (Sorry, I forgot to mention this last time) 2)winedump: I generated a stub dll which fowarded all the requst to native dll, but I can't figure it out where I can put the exported function codes to the stub dll, cause I need reimplement windows dll to be a local shared library. Could anyone give me some comments on what I should solve these? I really got headache on this... Thanks a lot. -Lechun --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't think that's a good idea. There is no guarantee that the full path is valid on other systems, and we don't want to bypass the user's LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
