I'm wondering how your patch works at all, the call should smash the stack since it misses WINAPI modifier. -- Dmitry.

Re: RPCRT4: reimplement UuidCreate() with Win32 APIs (resubmit)

However, iphlpapi was created to allow you to do things that were platform-specific and often undocumented. In this case, rpcrt4 is trying to get the MAC address. On Windows 9x, you used to use WsControl for this, and this calls the appropriate VxD. Wine's WsControl forwards to iphlpapi instead (on Win9x iphlpapi calls WsControl). On Windows NT, you use a DeviceIoControl on the network device driver. Wine doesn't implement any of these. Wine could use ioctl on a UNIX fd, but I doubt this is what Hans wants to do, since he's trying to implement this using Win32. It appears to me that this is the most straightforward way to get the MAC address in Wine (but since I wrote iphlapi, you could count on me saying that ;) ) --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: 2 Fatal Problems With Winesetuptk-0.73 (BOTH Sourceforge Release Formats)
by Ivan Leo Murray-Smith April 27, 2004

April 27, 2004

If you build a binary for older versions of Linux, let me know and I'll put your binary on the sourceforge page. AFAIK winesetuptk will only work correctly with the itcl/tck libs shiped in the tarball. Ivan.

Winsock help...
by António Serra April 27, 2004

April 27, 2004

Hi all! I'm porting a windows application to Linux using the winelib. I created a project with KDevelop and include all ( at least I think all ) the .dll.so needed by my project. After compiling a linker error message appears, saying that /windows/D/ HICOD2000/j2kserver/j2kserver/kdu_server.cpp:2894: undefined reference to `WSAWaitForMultipleEvents' . It happens that I included the ws2_32.dll.so in my project. Am I missing something? TIA -- ______________________ António Serra aserra.wine(a)iol.pt ______________________

Don't use it. Have a look at the implementation of GetDaylightFlag() or use it directly. - You state that on NT, 2K and XP the return code is TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN when the daylight saving time is not in effect. This is only true if the transition dates are undefined. This is true in the current implementation, but those transition dates are a bigger FIXME then the correct return value. - I am not sure if it is worth the trouble to be so correct for windows 9x. The NT return value is not impossible under win9x and unless there is an application that depends on it, Wine defaults to the NT behavior. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

Re: Winetest: outstanding issues (USING)
by Dimitrie O. Paun April 27, 2004

April 27, 2004

Now for the second installment: USING (Feri) ----------------------- A. winetest Winetest will have to support a new option -B <filename> This will add a new section to the report, just before the test results, called "Build Info". The body of this section will be read from <filename>, with each time indented (say 4 spaces), and a blank line to end it (for neatness). B. Dissect & gather Need only recognize the "Build Info" section as optional, and ignore it for now. Maybe dissect should do that as a rule, ignore sections it doesn't understand. This way we can easily add more data in the future, without needing to constantly patch dissect. Such sections would have all lines indented, and would end with a blank line. BTW Feri, can we indent the body of our current sections? Would that break stuff? It would be nice to, would make the report more readable. We should be more forgiving with the parsing, like HTML is. The idea would be: "we should look only for stuff that we need for the report, additional stuff should be ignored. Moreover, non-essential stuff should be optional, and if not present/parsed, don't display". -- Dimi.
