Patch: DSound: PhaseCancel subtracts secondary from primary
by Davin McCall Nov. 1, 2005

Nov. 1, 2005

Hi wine-devs, I have sent this patch to wine-patches, but it appears to have been dropped. I have resent it with some additional explanantion (below). Is there anything I've done wrong / anything I should do in order to get this patch accepted? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks Davin PS. How long should I wait for a patch to be accepted before I assume it's been dropped? ---- Hi, This is my first ever wine patch. I have been doing work on DSound as discussed on wine-devel with some very promising results (see the discussion there). As a result I have a large number of changes which I intend to provide a series of patches for. This is one is probably the most trivial fix and is largely unrelated to the other fixes. But if you look at the code for a while as I have you can see that it's obviously correct - the existing implementation of PhaseCancel inverts the original waveform; with this patch it doesn't. Please consider accepting. Thanks, - Davin Changelog: DSound: PhaseCancel subtracts secondary buffer from primary buffer, not the other way around. Davin McCall davmac(a)davmac.org

Unmet dependency with Mozilla ActiveX install
by Ron Jensen Nov. 1, 2005

Nov. 1, 2005

I tried installing a free game at random [1] from a web site I found [2]. I downloaded it and tried installing it into a freshly created with "wineprefixcreate" .wine folder. The game installed without a problem. When I tried to run the game wine presented a dialog that said I needed Mozilla ActiveX controls and offered to download & install them. The download worked, however the install _FAILED_ . I found a web site [3] with troubleshooting tips. It suggested I was missing two dlls, MSVCP60.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL. I downloaded the zip file [4] and unzipped it into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system . Reran the game, wine presented the same dialog about ActiveX. This time it downloaded & installed properly. The game started, ran and played. Two issues come to mind for the ActiveX installer: - it need to check for MSVCP60.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL before it bothers to download ActiveX. - it should cache the ActiveX download ( in /tmp maybe? ) with an option to keep it on hand. Since wine is installed per user it is probable a machine may need to install this more than once.

I agree. Best to do it right. ;-) > > I'm in the middle of fixing pixel shaders properly, so far I've checked in the code to parse and > cross compile the pixel shaders, I just have to intergrate them with the drawing pipeline. That's great news. I'll keep my eyes open for them when they get committed. Thanks for the excellent work you're doing here. :) James
