How to create an ODBC DSN
by Martin HEIN Jan. 21, 2005

Jan. 21, 2005

Hi folks, How can I use my working unixODBC DSN under wine, or how can I create a working Windows-based ODBC DSN using an underlying unixODBC DSN?

Problems starting regedit without a .wine directory
by Michael Jung Jan. 21, 2005

Jan. 21, 2005

Hi, if I start regedit on the current cvs version of wine without having a .wine directory in the users home directory I get the following console output: mjung(a)denkbrett:~$ rm -rf .wine mjung(a)denkbrett:~$ regedit wine: creating configuration directory '/home/mjung/.wine'... fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership (0x58 0x77c81810 0x77a3d474) stub! fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! disabling TCL support disabling TCL support fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership (0x54 0x77c8e1c0 0x77a3d3ec) stub! fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! wine: '/home/mjung/.wine' created successfully. fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership (0x54 0x77c4c148 0x77a1f8e4) stub! fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub! err:win:CreateWindowExA bad class name "SysTreeView32" err:win:CreateWindowExA bad class name "SysListView32" err:win:CreateWindowExA bad class name "msctls_statusbar32" The regedit window is displayed, but the treeview- and listview-panes as well as the statusbar are not displayed (which seems reasonable given the last three log message).

Help debugging Fotowire
by Antti Mäkelä Jan. 21, 2005

Jan. 21, 2005

Hi, I'm trying to get a (Win or Mac) software from my local photo printing shop to work. The software is in Finnish, and downloadable from http://www.ifi.fi/programs/IFI_OnlineFoto.exe. From what I gather, the software is just licensed and translated version of Fotowire, found at http://www.fotowire.com/home/html/download.htm Anyway, I cannot get it to work. With 20041201 it crashed at the end of install process (still found it's way to the virtual drive though). This was fixed in 20050111. The problem with actual functionality, however, was not. The program starts with a wizard. The first dialog box says that the software wants to connect to Internet. When I click next, there is an quick "connecting to server - respond received" dialog box and then an error box with a message that says "erroneous response received - check your connection" and the program returns to the first screen. With 20041201 I got some errors about CalendarA's as quarter-stub, but these have disappeared with 20051101. How do I go on with debugging this problem? I tried setting WINEDEBUG=+all wine fwprint.exe, but no debug messages appear..I'm using Gentoo, kernel 2.6.10, gcc 3.4. Thanks for any and all assistance. Hopefully we can get this to work. I do have access to native DLLs from Win'98 or 2k if any of those can help. -- - Antti Mäkelä - http://www.cs.tut.fi/~zarhan - zarhan(a)cs.tut.fi - There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here,it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Re: WINEDBG: add support to interrogate gdi objects

> Message du 21/01/05 04:10 > > ChangeLog: > Ulrich Czekalla > * add support to interrogate gdi objects several comments: * the changes in db_disasm.c are not declared in the changelog. Morever, I don't see the need of passing an extra parameter in db_task_printsym as you don't need it (maybe you forgot that part from the patch ?) * for the pure gdi info. - always use (when looking for a symbol) the name of the DLL you're looking the symbol from. this has several good side effects: first, it shortens the scope for searching (as dbghelp treats all global symbol - static or public - in the same name space), this reduces the likely hood of name conflicts. Secondly, the search will be much faster (as dbghelp won't be searched for all loaded DLLs), and won't force loading of symbols in DLLs for which we haven't looked up symbols yet (deferred symbol loading). For example, you should use gdi32!GDI_HeapSel for the symbol out of gdi32. * why are you using the ldt_copy at all ? there's support in winedbg for linearizing 16bit addresses, so making a 16 bit addr out of gdi-sel and handle and linearizing it should work. * you should add the same functionality to the gdbproxy (or at least add a TODO in winedbg.c to remain that it has to be done) * you should document the feature (info.c and documentation/debugger.sgml) A+

NTLMSSP authentication added to FreeDCE (requires Samba TNG, uses winbindd)
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Jan. 21, 2005

Jan. 21, 2005

i _would_ announce this on the samba mailing lists but the samba team have placed some rather fascist censorship in place, and consider any posting that i make to any samba.org addresses to be "net abuse". i've just modified winbindd (written in 2000 by tim and andrew) to be able to use it to do NTLM "challenge response" authentication. i also wrote a small library, containing two functions, which could be used by absolutely any project: they take a user+pass+domain, or a user+domain+challenge+responses. the functions don't care where your PDC is: it could be on the local machine, under which circumstances the back-end (winbindd) will adjust accordingly and save you some network traffic. both functions return a "blob" which is a NET_USER_INFO_3 structure, which contains valuable information - in particular, it contains the session key, but also it contains the equivalent of uid+gid+secondary groups: namely, the primary user rid, primary group rid, and secondary group SIDs etc. that the user is in. [for the benefit of the wine people: this information is essential for doing things like "ImpersonateNamedPipeClient" and "RpcImpersonateClient" in Wine / ReactOS, if the authentication being performed is to have any "meaning", as it's what gets passed to SeAccessCheck(). you can always of course return stub data and you can always have an implementation of SeAccessCheck return "ok"...] samba tng cvs can be obtained via www.samba-tng.org/cvs.html and freedce cvs from http://sf.net/projects/freedce. you can test the new interface by compiling and running bin/winbindauthtest - you must have a user of "test" with a password of "test". i may have one more thing to do - add "NamedPipe" security context "inheritance" to the client-side libraries in FreeDCE, but to be honest i don't think it's all that essential / there going to be a whopping big demand for it. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

It doesn't tell squat: the user doesn't know that this is a stub ("FIXME" what??), and he doesn't know that these are supposed to be the function parameters either (it could be any other variable debug printout, too - it's indistinguishable). To developers, such a printout might make sense if it's known to be the standard format (and I'd say it isn't!), but to people that aren't fiddling with Wine on a daily basis it will mean less than the previous form. OTOH, since "stub" is a somewhat nebulous word, too (to non-developers), it probably makes sense to leave it out (a FIXME does indicate a shortcoming after all, so such a non-specific output string makes it very likely that it's the whole function that is broken), but at least keep the braces that indicate function parameters. But OTOH, since "... stub" has been in use for ages, its meaning is probably common knowledge amoung many older Wine users, and it's only an extra 6 or 7 characters anyway, so I'd still leave it in.

load_VDMX - is the check for bCharSet == -1 necessary?
by Troy Rollo Jan. 21, 2005

Jan. 21, 2005

In dlls/gdi/freetype.c, load_VDMX refuses to process ratio records in which bCharSet is 0. Looking at the meaning of bCharSet and the layout of the VDMX table <http://www.microsoft.com/OpenType/OTSpec/vdmx.htm>, I can see no rational reason for this, and no reason appears in the code. Since 13th December this has been generating a FIXME message for some fonts. Does anybody know of a reason why this check is necessary? Commenting it hasn't hurt anything obvious.

Font selection logic defective?
by Bill Medland Jan. 20, 2005

Jan. 20, 2005

(Huw?) Do I need to dig deeper to understand this or is there a defect in the logic. If there are ttf fonts available does that mean a poor ttf match will be selected even when a better x11drv font is available? Note that my font knowledge is quite minimal Context When I installed our product on a clean Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 test machine it looked relatively acceptable. However on my own development machine (again RHEL3) for several texts the font was too large and overflowed the area that had been allocated for it. Then when I installed on Mandrake 10.0 I noticed the same large fonts. So I dug. On my machine (and probably on the Mandrake too; I don't know since I've trashed it) OpenOffice.org is installed. It installs /usr/share/fonts/openoffice, containing Vera*.ttf. As an example the Splash screen asks for an Arial font. My development machine runs through the fonts it knows about and selects the Bitstream Vera Sans, which is not a good match. The test machine has no ttf files to work from and so it reverses the Helvetica-Arial substitution (Hm!!! poor registry setup, I reckon) and performs a match for a Helvetica font and finds a much more acceptable font. So it seems to me that merely because OpenOffice.org has installed a couple of ttf fonts my development machine will select from a small list of ttf fonts and ignore a large list of x11 fonts. Am I correct? What should we do? Get the font matching logic to look at both the sets of fonts? Or add some sort of "Ignore these fonts" list in the Wine fonts area? -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

But if we absolutely needed to, we could implement a local version and it needn't even be a separate process. The NT SAM registry is pretty well reverse engineered here: http://neworder.box.sk/files/nullak_ntsecurity/index.php > you can always still implement RpcImpersonateClient as a stub. Yah. I think that's more likely than that we go whole-hog on it. From experience, it's often more important to get things like parameters and error codes just the way Windows programs expect than it is to make a function "really work." By implementing a stubbed or local-only version, we can figure out all this stuff, and maybe make a full-blown version later. and later, > it _does_ mean careful design because i doubt very much whether people > will be happy to have samba tng as a dependency on Wine. Agreed. The focus for the Wine folks is generally, does this get my app to work? Unless it's fixing an app, not too many folks are likely to get real excited by anything. Feel free to point out what we've been missing. Patches speak louder than anything here :) --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Mike, > Dumping the headers is necessary for stupid installers that map DLL files > manually and rummage around in the headers to figure out versions and > stuff ... simply having an empty file isn't enough for all of them I'm > afraid :( This isn't enough for new installers, either :( I have an MSI-based InstallShield installer that's looking for shdocvw.dll to see if IE6 is installed. (It isn't, but that's how it's looking for it.) Trouble is, how would this work with the native/builtin thing? Right now all our builtins don't live in the system directory, so we can always override whatever native dll happens to get dropped there. If we put a little stub PE header in there, what's to stop an installer from overwriting it? Or, would this cause a problem? --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Wine threads and TRY/CATCH macros and DCE threads and TRY/CATCH macros
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Jan. 20, 2005

Jan. 20, 2005

hi, as you may be aware, dce threads is posix draft 4 threads and FreeDCE has an emulation library kindly made up-to-date to successfully run even on NPTL on x86 and AMD64, courtesy of loic. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/freedce/dcethreads/ it is my understanding / guess that microsoft, in their adoption of DCE 1.0 some fifteen years ago for NT 3.1, ported DCE threads to Win32 [hence, you have all those lovely TRY CATCH RAISE macros in all the lovely MSVC++ programs, whoopeee] so i was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of some Wine source code - testing, implementation, macros etc. that would allow me to vaguely confirm whether my suspicions are correct. the first hypothesis i want to test is this: namely, that Wine applications would run _better_ [read, "more correctly"] by using dcethreads than by using its present implementation of Win32 threads. the _other_ hypothesis i want to test is this: namely, that FreeDCE applications would be more "palatable" in today's modern environment if compiled with Wine's threading code! according to loic, who is an expert on the different thread models, the thing is that certain syscalls are not interruptable / cancellable in Posix Draft 4 threads and in NPTL they are. this CHANGES the behaviour of any programs using the wrong threading library in subtle ways. thus, certain applications suddenly become unreliable where they were previously fine. etc. l. p.s. i don't claim to know all the answers, nor all the questions. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: Fwd: Re: Wine builtin mscms.dll

A simple DLL override in > .wine/config does not seem to do the job (using wine-20041210). Well, you have to realize that development on mscms in Wine has only been started a couple of months ago. My estimate is that it's now about 20% done and still missing basic functionality. And I have only weekends to spend time on it ;( So your best bet at this time is a native mscms. > (It works with a native mscms.dll file copied to the windows/system directory, > but with a specific application, makes it 5 times slower). The 5 times slow down you're seeing is not normal. Maybe you can investigate the problem a little more and report to the Wine development list at wine-devel(a)winehq.org? -Hans

Native comctl32.dll and native commctrl.dll
by Dripple Jan. 20, 2005

Jan. 20, 2005

Hi all, I'm a newbie in wine using and wine developpement. I just need information about comctl32.dll and commctrl.dll. I'm trying to have this app (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1485&versionId=2451) working. In fact, it works. But only using native comctl32.dll, which requires native commctrl.dll. Can anybody explain me what's missing in buitlin comctl32.dll and/or commctrl.dll ? Is it planned to fix commctrl.dll, to avoid piracy ? Thanks. Dripple
