Authors.c Won't Compile

by Robert Shearman

Hi, I can't compile authors.c due to some encoding issue with sed. I can generate the authors.c file fine on the command line, but the same command in the Makefile won't generate compilable code due to it terminating the string constant before a UTF-8 character. I am using Fedora Core 1 with latest updates. $ sed --version GNU sed version 4.0.8 Rob Example of errors: authors.c:19: error: stray '\366' in program authors.c:20: error: `m' undeclared here (not in a function) authors.c:20: error: initializer element is not constant authors.c:20: error: (near initialization for `SHELL_Authors[18]') authors.c:20: error: syntax error before string constant

The handling of the buffer sizes looks very suspicious. For instance you check for namesize being NULL, but later on assign something to it anyway. Also allocations have to be in bytes but length arguments (for instance in the GetProfileStringW call) have to be in WCHARs, this isn't done correctly. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: time: rework of GetLocalTime speedup

Hello Huw, I know you may not have a lot of time =P but while you are working on the Wine time implementation could you look at rpcrt4 and its use of gettimeofday? Most of the WINE rpcrt4 implementation should be portable to Windows/ReactOS but currently I have to use a hacked implementation of this function and would rather it use the Win32 or NT api.

It now parses the screenshots.xml file with the layout like above. All paths are relative to the /images/shots directory. Output in $vars is the same. I've also made the /images/shots/screenshots.xml file with all current screens. Added some new descriptions. Patches submitted to wine-patches. Tell me what you think. Regards, Paul van Schayck

Re: RPC Update Patch

by Mike Hearn

Wow, fantastic! One thing, could you write up some basic info on the structure of format strings? I'm just a bit concerned that one day we'll have to rewrite the typelib marshaller to use this interpreter and not know how, as this stuff is pretty opaque :) thanks -mike On Thu, 26 Feb 2004 20:04:51 +0000, Robert Shearman wrote: > Hi, > > I have uploaded the big stubless RPC patch to a website as it is rather > large (~120k).

RPC Update Patch

by Robert Shearman

Hi, I have uploaded the big stubless RPC patch to a website as it is rather large (~120k). You can get it here: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~csvmc/rpcrt4_3.diff As you can probably see, a lot of the stuff in this patch is a bit rough around the edges (lack of copyright notice in some files), but it does seem to work for a lot of cases. Rob P.S. It doesn't work for native OLE32 yet because we need some undocumented interfaces in RPCSS.

Re: Help needed to get the application work for native linux editors

by Robert Shearman

Hi, I can't really give you any advice on using the X API, but I can tell you that the Win32 and X API are completely different. If you want to support native X apps then you will have to either completely rewrite your Windows program in Linux or you will have to compile the Linux editor as a Winelib app and run it under Wine. I suggest you find a good book on the X API and/or contact the appropriate mailing lists to find out which functions you should use. Rob >>> "saravanan" <saravananv(a)erdcitvm.org> 02/26/04 11:17 AM >>> Hai friends, I successfully ran a script manager(keyboard Manager/driver) developed for windows (using VC++) in Linux using wine. Its working in the wordpad application called using wine.I want to make it work in Linux editors. The technical details about the working of the keyboard driver is as follows. 1) The keyboard driver is a keyboard hooker program. The keyboard driver will trap all the keystrokes from the keyboard and convert the Ascii value to the appropriate native language Character code. 2) First we have to get the handle of the window/control where the cursor is currently located, for that the GetFocus API is used. 3) Virtual-key code of the key that generated the keystroke message is converted to appropriate another code for making the keyboard Inscript or phonetic and send using Postmessage API. I have some doubts. Do these APIs written for windows work in linux. In linux , How could i get the handle of the window where the cursor is currently located. What are the changes that i should make in the source code to make it work for linux editors. Looking for your suggessions. Thanks in advance .
