Re: Marlett Replacement Useful for Wine?

by David Hammerton

There already is one, We (TransGaming) created one called TGMarlett which we released under a BSD license. It should be floating around somewhere, and at least Huw (from Codeweavers) has it. Perhaps I should send our version in for inclusion in winehq CVS? I have both the .ttf and the .sfd - the native file format for the program I used.

Linking with 3rd party DLLs

by Scott W Gifford

I'm working on two apps that link to 3rd party DLLs. For both DLLs, I have a .dll file and a .lib file, but no .def. For the first app, in order to get things working I had to load all of the functions myself with GetProcAddress. That worked fine, but was tedious to set up. I know there's a better way, but nothing I've tried has worked. I tried to create a .spec file, compile to a .def file, and link with that. If I copy ActiveWaveLib.dll to libActiveWaveLib.dll, create an ActiveWaveLib.spec file, compile that with winebuild to libActiveWaveLib.def, then compile with: wineg++ ... -lActiveWaveLib it compiles, but when I run it complains: err:module:import_dll No implementation for ActiveWaveLib.dll.rfCallTags imported from L"Z:\\home\\gifford\\prog\\activewave-test\\activewave.exe", setting to 0xdeadbeef If I instead use: wineg++ ... -iActiveWaveLib it won't compile: activewave.o(.text+0xce): In function `main': : warning: undefined reference to `rfRegisterReaderEvent' Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what else I can try? Thanks! ----ScottG.

winelib application taking 100% of the CPU

by Scott W Gifford

Hello, I recently ported a small application from Windows using winelib. The app uses a third-party DLL that I don't have source for (which is why I'm using winelib instead of just writing a Unix program). It seems to work fine, but it takes up 100% of the CPU all the time: 24916 activewv 25 0 1080 1080 920 R 50.2 0.2 44:06 0 wineserver 24938 activewv 16 0 0 0 0 Z 24.5 0.0 3:52 0 wine-pthread <defunct> 24913 activewv 15 0 0 0 0 Z 24.1 0.0 17:38 0 wine-pthread <defunct> Also Linux claims that the two threads of the program are zombies, and are taking up 25% of the CPU, which doesn't really make any sense. The app isn't CPU-intensive under Windows. The app is just sending a short request to the serial port every 5-10 seconds, and sometimes getting back a short response. When I strace wineserver, it's doing: 31132 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=28, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, { fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=32, events=0, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=33, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=36, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=44, events=0, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=45, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=48, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=56, events=POLLIN}, {fd=57, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=60, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=63, events=POLLIN}, {fd=64, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {! fd=71, events=POLLIN}, {fd=72, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=75, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}], 69, -1) = 4 31132 read(33, "&\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0L\0\0\0\0\0\0@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 write(34, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\t\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 read(45, "\25\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0l\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 write(46, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\377\377\377\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 Those file descriptors are all pipes according to lsof, and I'm not sure what they're connected to---although it seems likely they're connected to those two threads, especially since those are the only threads this copy of wineserver is servicing. I'm not really sure how to go about figuring this out; I'm about to port another similar application, and I'd prefer not to have both of them trying to get the CPU all the time. This is with Wine-20040309, compiled myself for a Fedora Core Release 1 (Yarrow) Linux. I'm not really sure what my next step is in figuring this out. Any ideas? Thanks! ----ScottG.

Marlett Replacement Useful for Wine?

by Robert Shearman

Hi all, I have several people interested in creating a replacement for the Marlett symbol font included in Windows (used for drawing of window decorations and some widgets). Would this be useful for inclusion in Wine? If so, would just the TTF file be ok, or would you need whatever propietary formatted file they will probably be working with (I think it will be some Adobe product)? Rob

(Not that I can replicate it since now the screen has changed but) "Click" on what!! I had aleron set up as my default. I could click on any of the radio buttons and click on the "Set as Default" button but I still couldn't actually download anything. Anyway it seems to be fixed now; I guess the main problem was that all the mirrors were busy.

Printing problem; RHEL3U1 (CUPS) with 20031118

by Bill Medland

(Yes, I know 20031118 is a little old) Anyone any ideas what is going on here or any simple tests I can do? I am trying to get our company's software running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 1. I am using the wine-20031118-1rh8winehq.i686.rpm I am printing to a SMB printer elsewhere on the computer. I can print the test page from the printconfgui I can print a text file from the command line (lp /etc/passwd) I cannot print from notepad; nothing seems to happen I cannot print from our application; I get the error: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable (I'll try the 20040408 when I can actually download it, but I don't expect it to change) (I would try changing to LPRng but of course RHEL3 doesn't seem to include it) Anyone any ideas? -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed
