Re: appdb dump
by Jeremy Newman Aug. 11, 2004

Aug. 11, 2004

This is getting to be a common request. I think what I am going to do is make a script that tars up the appdb every night and puts it up for download. The only table it will not dump will be the userdb, for privacy reasons. I'll email you all again when I have something whipped up.

Different X Displays and Wine
by Boaz Harrosh Aug. 11, 2004

Aug. 11, 2004

I'm trying to connect and run a remote X session from 2 different machines and I fail to run Wine applications. - I connect from Machine M1 using ssh -X (or -Y) run a wine app all is very well. - I connect from another Machine M2 using ssh -X using the same user. The second instance fails with: <message> X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 15 (X_QueryTree) Resource id in failed request: 0xa0002b Serial number of failed request: 137 Current serial number in output stream: 137 </message> Needless to say that if I exit the Wine application on M1 than M2 will run with out any problems. [Q] Is it at-all possible to run Wine on 2 different $DISPLAY s, or is the X-Server a Wine-Server resource. Will using a different user help? Will using desktop mode help? Has any one been successful with letting different network users connect and run Windows Apps under wine? How did they Setup wine? How does Codeweavers do it with their Server Product? Thanks in advance for any help (or failure reports) any one can give me. Free Life Boaz

Unfortunately assignments with := are not portable either, so it's only moving the problem. We probably need to restructure the makefiles a bit to avoid that construct. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Help with winemaker
by Veerendra Tippanagoudar Aug. 11, 2004

Aug. 11, 2004

Hi, I am trying to port a project from windows to unix. I have installed redhat 7.0. After installing wine, i tried using winemaker on a set of modules that are interdependent. By modules, I mean sub-programs. When I run winemaker from the top of the project directory, it creates only Makefile and no configure, configure.in and Makefile.in scripts. Therefore I am not able to use ./configure --with-wine=/usr/local/wine. Since, I cannot run the ./configure command, I am not able to run the make command. Why are the configure and other files not being generated? Any help would really be appreciated. My project uses, C and C++ code. Thank you, Veerendra Tippanagoudar. P.S: The documentation online is not complete (especially the Makefile.in and Configure.in part). --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage!

Wouldn't that be something which would be put in the registry somehow for the well known IDs and for the rest I really assume the device detection routine does check for all .inf files it finds on the devices currently configured to be searched. If you look at PCI and USB inf files you will notice that the manufacturer and device ID are actually encoded in the key names which are to be added to the registry. That encoding does not always seem to be equally consistent, I've seen at least two different types, but it is obviously there. One entry for instance for the Logitec PageScanner would be %USB\VID_046D&PID_040f.DeviceDesc%=Model.PageScan_USB,USB\VID_046D&PID_040f USB\VID_046D&PID_040f.DeviceDesc="Storm Technology - Logitech PageScan USB" This is partly extracted from a logiscan.inf file on my W2K system.

winedbg doesn't find source files

I need an advice on how to setup winedbg the right way or an explanation, whether this is a bug or an advanced feature. TIA.

I am responding to the italicized note in the user manual (pdf). 1) Your early adopters probably do not look at the user manual any more. 2) Having written some documents like this, I do not believe that most people realize how difficult it is to make a process simple and clear without making it insulting. A company I used to work for had a 5 day course on writing user manual and procedures that they marketed nation wide. I do not know if the still do so. I went through that course and it was amazingly difficult. All you need to do is write down what to do and no one will understand you. 3) Those who are into Linux are into the bleeding edge of technology and want to make it run, not tell others how to make it run. An audience of true nerds, and I will raise my hand, will like to see the thing work. Documentation is in last place. I appreciate what you run into on the thankless task of documentation and keeping it current. My guess is that this is the one thing that is the major weak spot in Linux. If anything except perhaps support, will kill Linux, it will be lousy documentation. Having been a Unix system administrator for a long while, I have seen great systems go away because of documentation or support. Legato nearly went under because of support. The system is good, I chose it to back up 25 production Unix boxes into a tape silo over a 1G fiber network. After I left, I understand they went with another system because they could no longer get any answers to their questions and the documentation was not clear. I am retired on disability now. I have heard rumors that Legato has turned the problems around and is recovering some of it's lost market share. I have just started trying to use Wine on Fedora Core2 and I will be reading all the documentation. What I have seen so far has been well done. I will be finding out if it still applies, and applies to Quicken 2004 Deluxe. Sincerely yours, Patrick C. McKelvey PE Cincinnati, Ohio pmckelvey(a)zoomtown.com
