Is wineinstall needed anymore? README seems to indicate you can install Wine just fine without it. - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer? See http://kegel.com/academy/getting-hired.html

replace a wrong fixme in dlls/winmm/playsound.c
by Rémi Assailly Nov. 18, 2004

Nov. 18, 2004

I tested a software ( a monopoly game ) and the error was that a sound was still playing so I think that is not a wine bug. Before submitting this patch to wine-patches I would like to know what do you think about it, what should be WARN, FIXME, if choosing ERR to all is correct or if some cases are useless.

profiling GTA4. question about polling
by Brian Gunlogson Nov. 17, 2004

Nov. 17, 2004

GTA4 (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) runs on Wine with no additional tinkering! Albeit horribly slow. A profile of GTA shows that only one D3D function (drawStridedSlow) needs major optimization. According to the oprofile results, polling seems to be the major bottleneck. (the top of a flat profile generated with oprofile) samples % image name app name symbol name 2177620 14.0147 d3d8.dll.so wine-preloader drawStridedSlow 1681661 10.8228 vmlinux vmlinux do_pollfd 1025198 6.5980 vmlinux vmlinux pipe_poll 515461 3.3174 vmlinux vmlinux add_wait_queue 423342 2.7245 vmlinux vmlinux poll_freewait 423185 2.7235 vmlinux vmlinux __pollwait 354490 2.2814 vmlinux vmlinux fput 285473 1.8372 vmlinux vmlinux sys_poll I'd like to optimize this.

incomplete relay when accessed from winedbg
by Bill Medland Nov. 17, 2004

Nov. 17, 2004

Guys Any chance of help on this? I am trying to figure out why some numbers are misformatted through Crystal Reports ToText function. (e.g. 6..0 instead of 599.95) I tried to turn +relay on from within winedbg so that I could see just what functions got called. All that relay gave me was "window proc", "hook proc" and wineps calls; no ntdll or anything else. Any idea why it isn't giving me everything?

appdb linux links
by James Hawkins Nov. 17, 2004

Nov. 17, 2004

One of my conceptions of wine is as a stepping stone for users switching over to linux from windows that still only feel comfortable with windows apps or those that don't know what linux apps are available. What do you think about adding a 'Similar Linux Application' link or section to each windows app where applicable that would point them in the direction of the linux equivalent of the windows app and thus help with the transition process? They might not necessarily use the app, but at least they'll be more aware. What are some ideas about this? -- James Hawkins

Winetest questions
by Dan Kegel Nov. 17, 2004

Nov. 17, 2004

1. Why are all the archived posts to wine-test-results empty? See http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-tests-results/2004/11 Every message body is empty! What's up with that? 2. The URL http://test.winehq.org/data/ appears to contain digests of all winetest results received by the server, but this information is not documented anywhere I could find at www.winehq.org. Seems like a top level page is in order. 3. winetest.exe currently assumes you're running under Windows. See main.c line 577: (putenv ("WINETEST_PLATFORM=windows") || Wouldn't it be useful to allow Linux results to be computed and reported via winetest, too? Presumably it could detect that it's running on Linux somehow. (perhaps by running uname -a...) - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer? See http://kegel.com/academy/getting-hired.html

Hi, i found this very simple app which just pops up a window: #include <windows.h> LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam) { switch (msg) { case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); return 0; default: return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam); } } int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE instance, HINSTANCE prev, LPSTR cmdLine, int cmdShow) { WNDCLASSEX class; MSG msg; HWND window; /* this stuff is just boilerplate */ memset(&class, 0, sizeof(WNDCLASSEX)); class.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); class.hInstance = instance; class.lpszClassName = "MainWnd"; class.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; class.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_WINDOW + 1; if (!RegisterClassEx(&class)) { MessageBox(NULL, "Could not register window class", "", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR); return 1; } window = CreateWindowEx(0, "MainWnd", "Main Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW & ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 200, 150, NULL, NULL, instance, NULL); ShowWindow(window, cmdShow); /* Every thread that creates a window must pump the message loop */ while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } return 0; } Now i tried to implement this in a dll (avicap32.dll) in capCreatecapturewindow like this: /*********************************************************************** * capCreateCaptureWindowW (AVICAP32.@) */ HWND VFWAPI capCreateCaptureWindowW(LPCWSTR lpszWindowName, DWORD dwStyle, INT x, INT y, INT nWidth, INT nHeight, HWND hWnd, INT nID) { HWND ret; HINSTANCE dummy; LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam) { switch (msg) { case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); return 0; default: return DefWindowProcW(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam); } } int WINAPI Try(HINSTANCE instance, HINSTANCE prev, LPSTR cmdLine, int cmdShow) { WNDCLASSEXW class; MSG msg; HWND window; /* this stuff is just boilerplate */ memset(&class, 0, sizeof(WNDCLASSEXW)); class.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEXW); class.hInstance = instance; dummy=instance; class.lpszClassName = "MainWnd"; class.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; class.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_WINDOW + 1; if (!RegisterClassExW(&class)) { MessageBoxW(NULL, "Could not register window class", "", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR); return 1; } window = CreateWindowExW(0, "MainWnd", "Main Window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW & ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 200, 150, NULL, NULL, instance, NULL); ret=window; ShowWindow(window, cmdShow); /* Every thread that creates a window must pump the message loop */ while (GetMessageW(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessageW(&msg);} return 0; } Try(dummy,NULL,NULL,0); return ret; } Now when capcreatecapturewindow is called no window shows up at all.

rsaenh.dll
by Michael Jung Nov. 15, 2004

Nov. 15, 2004

Hi, the attached patch incorporates code from the public domain library LibTomCrypt (http://libtomcrypt.org) into rsaenh.dll. This allows us to get rid of the compile and run-time dependencies on OpenSSL, and - as far as I understand it - might solve some license problems for ReactOS (http://www.reactos.com:8080/pipermail/ros-general/2004-February/000706.html) It would be nice to get some comments on what remains to be done before I submit the patch to wine-patches. I renamed the implossl.[ch] (OpenSSL glue logic) files to the more neutral implglue.[ch]. How to I get diff to produce a patch that reflects this change? Greetings, Michael

How to port c++ program to linux using winelib
by Jia L Wu Nov. 15, 2004

Nov. 15, 2004

Hi, I have a win32 program written in C++. I am trying to port it to linux using winelib. The software contanis one exe file and several dll files. I would like to keep this structure when moving them to linux. That is, I still would like to generate several corresponding shared libraries (instead of statically linking all files together) in llinux and they will be loaded at the runtime. However using winelib tools(winemaker, configure, make) for shared library generation, I get unresolved symbols error. It seems that I have to write a spec file for each dll to import(and export) functions provide by other dlls. However, since they all written in c++ and what need to be imported can either be class or class method, and parameters can be class either. SO I don't know how to handle this in spec file. Beside each dll file exports many functions or classes. It would be tedious to write a lengthy spec file manually. My question is that if it is possible that linking is not invoked during shared library generation under wine (but during the runtime)? How should I do it? Thanks. Wu

I'm putting together a mini-lab course on "Software Engineering with Wine".

It's at http://kegel.com/wine/sweng/ Comments welcome. (In particular, are there any other test suite gotchas I should tell the students about?) - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?

Kernel 2.6.9 - Issue Found
by Jesse Allen Nov. 14, 2004

Nov. 14, 2004

Hi, For the past two weeks I've been tracking an issue that I found with kernels greater than 2.6.8 / 2.6.8.1 and wine. Starting with kernel 2.6.9-rc1, Warcraft III copy protection would not work -- ie please insert disc. I found changes to the cdrom driver in rc1. Reversing them did not work. For a while I was lost to what could have changed. Then I had an idea: search for changes that could affect the way processes run. That led me to reverse changes related to ptrace, and I found a series of patches that break Warcraft III copy protection code. Patch 1: ptrace single-stepping fix Included in 2.6.9-rc1 By Davide Libenzi? http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset(a)1.1803.1803.144.55 This change includes a note that it could break debuggers. Reversing this change would allow War3 to work in rc1, but kernels greater than rc1 would still not work. Patch 2: make single-step into signal delivery stop in handler Included in 2.6.9-rc2 By Roland McGrath http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset(a)1.1832.59.196 The next patch may depend on patch #2 because it is a bug-fix based on 2. Patch 3: Fix PTRACE_CONT after single-step into signal delivery Also 2.6.9-rc2 By Roland McGrath http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset(a)1.1847 Reversing patches 1, 2, and 3 in kernels 2.6.9-rc2 and greater (through 2.6.10-rc1) will allow War3 to work. I tried 1 & 3 without 2, but it failed leading me to believe that 1 & 2 are required. I didn't try 1 & 2 alone because I think reversing 2 would require 3 reversed. All the patch changes seem to be on ptrace single-stepping. However, there is at least one ptrace single-stepping patch that seems to make no difference at all: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset(a)1.1803.144.70 There are other single-stepping patches for different non-i386 architectures but I have no idea on these because I don't run the others. They are meaningless for wine anyways. Now that I've identified a problem, I'm curious where else it's cropping up. Paul Rupe, could you try reversing these patches to see if this fixes your crashing problem? And how about those people having trouble with debugging? Then I guess the next step is to find out if this is a wine bug or not. If it's not, then it may be a kernel bug and we should report it to the kernel devs. Jesse
