Great! I've added a link to your message in a comment to bug 2658. Since you're doing triage, all you have to do is verify whether the bug still is happening with current CVS -- you don't have to fix it or track it down any further. You should move on to the next bug now. And for future reference, please be sure to add a comment to the bugzilla entries you triage, saying whether you were able to reproduce the problem.

I can read the patch in the real mailing-list though, dont know what's the problem here; maybe Jeremy can have a look at it... This fixes bugs #3415 and #2140 Changelog: - avoid crashing when no printers are available Thanks.

Re: [Bug 3148] Mouse: multi-file "selection" & drag behavior broken

Oct. 2, 2005

Looks like someone else is having this problem. I've tried looking at listview.c and the treeview equivalent as well, but I can't made heads or tails of it. I have no experience with C. Anybody on this list make any changes to listview or treeview in the last few months?

And there are only 24 'new' or 'assigned' bugs which haven't been changed in two years, so we can look at those manually just fine, I think. - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?

Oregon Trail 5 and DirectX 8?
by Dan Kegel Oct. 2, 2005

Oct. 2, 2005

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2909 claims that Oregon Trail 5 runs, so I tried running the free Oregon Trail 5 demo, http://www.learningcompany.com/jump.jsp?itemID=147&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1 But it failed to install, saying DirectX 8 was not installed. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks! -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer? See http://kegel.com/academy/getting-hired.html

Kid Pix Deluxe 3 redux
by Dan Kegel Oct. 1, 2005

Oct. 1, 2005

Four years ago, I tested Kid Pix Deluxe 3 on wine: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2001/08/0287.html http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/08/0096.html Couldn't even install it. Now that Wine's approaching 0.9, I figured it was time to try again. So I found the old disc, dusted it off, and gave it a shot. What a difference four years makes - it installs now! Oh, there were three bugs in the installer: (see http://bugs.winehq.org, bugs 3448, 3449, 3451) but nothing a determined user can't work around. This was particularly impressive, since the Kid Pix installer installs several other packages, including Quicktime. Sadly, the resulting app fails to start. That's bug 3450: KPD3.exe aborts while loading, with message err:module:import_dll Library CONFIGIT.dll ... not found Presumably that library was supposed to be installed by the installer, but wasn't. While Kid Pix Deluxe 3 isn't free software, it's pretty cheap; you can get it for $2 online. But lots of schools probably still use copies of this app, and it makes a nice test, so it seems worth working on. (There's also a version of Kid Pix specialized for schools; that's different somehow, but I bet getting the retail version working will make it a lot more likely the school version will work.) - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?

Small CVS-Update-Script
by Gladiac Spark Oct. 1, 2005

Oct. 1, 2005

This is nothing special but may be useful for some people out there having problems updating their cvs-trees or being lazy writing some commands in their console. Copy the 'getwinecvs' to /usr/src or wherever you want (don't forget to edit the SRC=Variable if you're doing so) and chmod it to give you x-rights. (e.g.: 'chmod 750 getwinecvs' without quotes) By running it, it will search for an existing wine-tree... if there is one, it will be cleaned and then updated; if not, the complete tree will be downloaded. When using -c as parameter for getwinecvs, it will automatically begin to compile after getting all the updates and then install. To see what it exactly does, have a look at the source. Even if it is called General CVS-Updater by gladiac it has been written FOR wine. I hope it is helpful for others. I know it's not very nerdy but.... who cares ;).

undocumented APIs
by Ivan Leo Puoti Oct. 1, 2005

Oct. 1, 2005

Hello, I would like to make a general appeal to not write wine code based on the docs at undocumented.ntinternals.net, because they're often misleading, incomplete or simply wrong, and do more harm than good. Please refer to "windows nt/2000 native api reference" by Gray Nebbett, to the reactos team, or to me (I've got the book) instead, and always write tests for undocumented functions. Ivan.

by Robbert Xerox Oct. 1, 2005

Oct. 1, 2005

Hi, i'm trying out some apps from the bugzilla database, but in quite some cases i get this error: winevdm: unable to exec 'winbr34.exe': 16-bit support missing I compiled from current cvs without any options, i even tried --enable-win16 but didn't help. Appearently other people _are_ able to run these apps. One example is ftp://ftp.mvpsoft.com/pub/winbr34.exe Anyone could give me a hint how to solve this? I run fc3 (x32) on an athlon64. kernel 2.6.12.3 ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
