MDAC also requires WGA, so we might need to reimplement it anyway first. Ciao, Marcus

Can Wine run "sv.net classic"? Not at the moment :-(

by Dan Kegel

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/67265 describes what looks like a nice opportunity for wine to prove itself. German employers are required to send insurance information online. There are two allowed methods: either a web page (which apparantly sucks), or a windows app called sv.net classic, available as a free download at http://www.itsg.de/svnet/ I tried installing it, but I didn't get past square one because the mdac installer is more busted than it used to be, at least on my machine. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Don't get me started about wikis. If you like the page, link to it. Thanks, Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Can't install mdac at all now

by Dan Kegel

Bug 3636 is worse now. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3636 A few weeks ago, after mdac installer finished, I could go and unpack the installed cabs by hand. Now the installer aborts before it even copies the cabs. Bleah. -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

This sort of thing seems ideal for the Wine wiki. At least a link to your page would definitely be in order. Just a thought. Regards, Aric

Is fglrx missing something that would be required for 2D rendering? Regards, Aric

The trouble is your patch is rather ugly. First, the style isn't correct--no C++-style comments, please, and make the indenting consistent. Second, there's a leak in the code you wrote, the socket you open to do SIOCGIFCONF on is never closed. It would be cleaner, in my opinion, to use iphlpapi's GetAdaptersInfo, which already enumerates the public (non-loopback) interfaces available on the system. --Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: RFC: D3D7 and WineD3D

by Stefan Dösinger

Hello, The patch is now on the sourceforge page, and it can be found at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=134206&package_id=17…. The only working games are Tomb Raider 3 Demo and Moto Racer 2 Demo, so it's not really exciting from a users point of view right now. Stefan

gethostbyname(my_name) and IL2-Sturmovik

by David Nolden

Ok, I've just checked doing the same thing under windows. The test(ripdaveno is the name of the Computer I tested on): { ... hostent* h = gethostbyname("ripdaveno"); char* str = inet_ntoa(*((in_addr*)h->h_addr_list[0])); ... } The string in str was "192.168.2.75" which is my Network IP-Adress. With wine(under Linux), as far as I've tested it, exactly the same code always generates "127.0.0.1". Since Wine tries to simulate Windows as exactly as possible, this is wrong. So, in my opinion this Patch is necessary. :-) greetings, David Nolden

gethostbyname(my_name) and IL2-Sturmovik

by David Nolden

I've just checked the registry-accesses. It only seems to take the own name from there(which it later uses to get the IP-Adress). It doesn't try to read anything in the area mentioned on the microsoft-site you sent me. greetings, David Nolden
