Linking to _wtol function
by Robert Shearman Aug. 4, 2003

Aug. 4, 2003

Hi, I'd like to get people's opinions on how I should link to the _wtol function from a Wine DLL. Should I: a) Link to NTDLL and use the function there b) Link to MSVCRT and use the function there c) Create a new function in unicode.h d) Copy the function into my DLL Rob

If I take Mikes updates and these updates and apply them againt the faq.template in /lostwages can we just update the faq there ? And whenever a large amount of changes have been made just build a .sgml of it. Or just make sure we update both at the same time ? Because the way were going I have sent patches to update the .template and you guy's have sent patches againt this one and before long there going to be two very different faq's. Comments ? Tom

If it can help, I can run this on windows server 2003 (Evaluation copy, I would never buy anything from m$).

It comes from this code. #include "windows.h" #include "stdio.h" main() { printf("GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION) = %d\n", GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION)); } For determing thumb size, I use MS ControlSpy, available here: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0798/controlspy.aspx That includes binaries. Just run the Trackbar binary, click on "TBM_GETTHUMBLENGTH" in the window on the lower left, and then click the "Send" button. In the window below that button, it should say something like: lResult: 21 (0x15) which means the thumb size is 21.

Re: CVS Update: reactos

There have been some minor additons to ReactOS's pe.h to help identify X-box applications. It is my understanding that X-box applications use a form of directx and a NT like kernel so maybe the WINE project can make use of some of the initial work we are doing to add support these applications.

I've decided I'll include the wine faq and wine user guide into my next wine rpm, but I've noticed that the docs need some updates. For a start, they need a version for rpm packages, it seems a bit crazy to install a binary rpm of wine, open the user manual, and find a guide on where you can download wine and howto compile the source, one would usually expect something like 'thank you for installing wine, we hope you enjoy out product'. Also, as the wine packaging guide says that rpms should get the user up and running in minutes, using a script or something like winesetuptk, so I don't think that a guide for end users that what to install office/there new windows 3D game/whatever should have a long description of the wine config file (I don't remember seeing documentation about the windows registry anyware after installing windows 98). The current manual presumes that one doesn't have wine installed, so all the where to get/how to install part should go, at least from the version we want i packages after 1.0, and something like 'you can download the most recent version of wine from <link to the wine sourceforge download page>' should go in it's place. Once wine reaches 0.9, I would be happy to help updating the docs, so we have something very user friendly before 1.0, and I could also translate the docs to italian.

> Changelog: > Oops, initial thumb length doesn't appear to depend on > SM_CYCAPTION after all. Thumb length DOES depend on GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYCAPTION) on a native platform. ( thumb_length = GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYCAPTION) + 2 [with no select range]) If wine uses standard values from windows there's no matter. But if a user decides to change these values in its registry, trackbars won't reflect those changes in their sizes. So i think that thumb length still need to depend on this metrics value.

how to use wine on linux??
by csy annie Aug. 2, 2003

Aug. 2, 2003

hi, i'm new to WINE. I've install it on linux in order to run my developed chat application (which need to run with a file called 'client.dll). Inorder to run windows application on linux i've choose to install WINE. However, i don't know how to use it after installing & configuring it on my linux(mandrake). For example, if i want to run my java file 'Client.java'. Do i type java Client.java to run as normal java program?? If so, will WINE automatically detect it's a windows file & execute it?? If not, what should i do?? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Download ringtones, logos and picture messages from MSN Malaysia http://www.msn.com.my/mobile/ringtones/default.asp

[antony@antgel.co.uk: .msi files]
by Antony Gelberg Aug. 1, 2003

Hi Wine developers, I posted this to the wine-users list but no joy. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice? Does Windows Installer work? Sorry for posting here, but I have searched and searched and just can't find anything helpful on the subject. FYI - I'm using ~/.wine/fake_windows, as I want to eventually get rid of my Windows partition altogether. But if anything needs copying across, I can do that. On another note, I'm really surprised that the wine-users list is so quiet as it's such an important bit of software. Antony ----- Forwarded message from Antony Gelberg <antony(a)antgel.co.uk> ----- From: Antony Gelberg <antony(a)antgel.co.uk> To: wine-users(a)winehq.com Subject: .msi files Hi all, I've done some searching, but no joy. Anyone have any idea on how to install software that needs Windows Installer to install? I've tried installing bout the 98 and 2K versions under wine, but only get: cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine ./instmsiw.exe fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored fixme:process:CreateProcessA (X:\IXP000.TMP\msiinst.exe,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored cdrom $ /usr/local/bin/wine --version Wine 20030709 cdrom $ Any ideas?
