Your code is obviously a straight transcription of the disassembled code, with lots of magic numbers and meaningless variable names. That is not an acceptable way of implementing something for Wine. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Mouse not working in old DOS game ("MadTV")

by Christian Neumair

Today I tried to play a game, which is cult in Europe and nearly unknown in the USA: MadTV. When trying to start it, I encountered a problem: The mouse cursor of the game wasn't moved together with the wine mouse cursor and wine spit out a lot of int irq fixme messages: "fixme:int:DOSVM_Int33Handler Position mouse cursor" So I created a log with --debugmsg +int appended. Since the first ~300.000 lines contained a lot of repititions I decided to completely trash them. The attached backtrace contains a few thousands of lines output. Maybe sb, of you already experienced this problem, too - or even works on a solution. regs, Chris

dmusic loader question

by Rok Mandeljc

I was planning to (properly) implement DirectMusic Loader, based on example I've found in MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmusic/ht…) But as I don't have enough experience with COM interfaces, I got stuck with implementing IStream interface; how does one declare interface, which consists of two other interfaces (CMyIStream class in example code is actually IDirectMusicGetLoader and IStream at the same time)? BTW, is it illegal to use MSDN examples to implement stuff in wine (EULA...)? -- Rok Mandeljc <rok.mandeljc(a)gimb.org> "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. >From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." -- J.R.R.

fontview.exe...

by Jonathan Wilson

Its used by windows to display fonts before and after installation. And I know of at least one setup program (might have been a Corel app, I forget) that displays a long list of fonts which you can select from to install and then uses fontview.exe (I think its fontview.exe, it loks very similar anyhow) for previewing the fonts (so you can see what they look like before they are installed). Anyone want to comment on this: 1.does anyone else remeber the app and/or the dialog? 2.does anyone know if it really is fontview.exe? 3.does wine need a fontview.exe? and 4.if I was to code a fontview.exe, would it be of use to anyone (wine, reactos etc)?

Are the notepad improvements from crossover office going to be merged into the main wine tree? What has to happen first?

How to compiling spec file and source file to generate a wine dll

by dd jj

Hello Finally I found the HOW-TO winelib which gives me a pretty useful example in it: 2. a Windows executable with WineLib DLL... .... During the compile process, a command like winebuild -fPIC -o winedll.spec.c -spec winedll.spec will be executed to create the file winedll.spec.c from information in the file winedll.spec. The file winedll.spec.c and winedll.c are compiled into object files and used to create the shared library. ...... My question is How to generate winedll.dll.so from winedll.spec.c and winedll.c and other source file like winedll.h if needed.. I am wondering whether someone can give me a detailed implementation command about this: It should something like "gcc -shared -Wl, -Bsymbolic -o ... or use winebuild directly..

Well that should work with cups too, you need to configure a printer with model "RAW". bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart
