Absolutely. I'm sure others will suggest more ideas, but here's my suggestion: add some test cases to the Wine conformance test suite. I am mentoring about 14 college students doing this right now for college credit; four are doing it for a whole year, ten are doing it for a single semester. They are finding it appropriately challenging, and I think you will, too. See http://www.kegel.com/wine/sweng/ for the step-by-step instructions I wrote up for the semester class. (I'll be revising that as the semester continues to address issues found by the students.) Good luck, and feel free to write me with any questions! - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?

Hi lionel, GL_VERSION isn't pertinent as it contains (only) provider and driver version while GLX_VERSION is really the version string of GLX impl.

possibly new regression
by MightY Feb. 21, 2005

Feb. 21, 2005

Hi, I'm new to the list, so please tell me if I do anything wrong ;). The update from wine-2005-01-11 to wine-2005-02-11 caused a regression with an application I'm trying to get to work. I identified the concrete patch that introduces the problem. It's this one made by Rein Klazes: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2005/01/0612.html What I see happening is the following: sebi(a)mighty system $ wine gothic.exe wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger...

Recent CVS update causes Quicken popup problem/Help please
by Carl Sopchak Feb. 21, 2005

Feb. 21, 2005

I recently did a CVS update after a fairly long time without one. Afterwards, Quicken 2000 Deluxe has had a problem: When in an account register, as you type the description into a new record, Quicken will pop-up a window showing prior transactions that match what you type. (Quicken calls this Quick Fill. If you press Enter, the transaction is copied into the new record. A VERY nice feature!) The problem is that the pop-up never "goes away", which it should do if (a) your typing causes no prior transaction matches, or (b) you accept the match that is suggested. I have found in the wine debug log that Quicken tries to "get rid" of the popup by setting the popup's rectangle to {0,0;0,0}, which causes the server call to set_window_pos to return with "INVALID_PARAMETER {new_style=00000000}". After adding debug TRACE messages to dlls/x11drv/winpos.c, I have confirmed that the window style just prior to the server call is 94800007 (WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_BORDER | WS_DLGMODALFRAME | WS_DRAGDETECT | WS_NOPARENTNOTIFY). After adding further debugging statements to server/window.c, I have found that the server handler for set_window_pos calls validate_window_rectangles(). Validate_window_rectangles fails because {0,0;0,0} is not within the client's rectangle ({1,1;479,20}), so set_window_pos never gets called. Now, I assume that using a rectangle size of {0,0;0,0} is a valid way to pop-down the popup. Even if not, that appears to be the way Quicken is doing it. I guess my problem is that I have NO CLUE as to how this SHOULD be handled. Should the style be set to (style & ~WS_VISIBLE) when the rectangle is {0,0;0,0}? Should {0,0;0,0} be considered a valid rectangle in validate_window_rectangles()? Should validate_window_rectangles() only get called if the rectangle is not {0,0;0,0}? Or, very possibly, is there something else that should happen? Just to see what happened, I commented out the call to validate_window_rectangles, and the popup disappeared as it should. If anyone has any hints as to what should be done here, I could implement and test this, and send a patch along... As an aside, I noticed on the winehq.org web site that the debugging "quick start" page specifically states that the Debug Channels are not used for the server but the developer's guide does not. And neither suggest how to add debugging messages to the server. Perhaps this could be explained in more detail somewhere? (I could add a section, if the sources of the manual is in CVS, and I knew where they were...) Thanks for the help, Carl

Should winecfg drive detection create device symlinks
by Paul van Schayck Feb. 21, 2005

Feb. 21, 2005

Hey, I was wondering if winecfg should create symlinks for devices (dosdevices/d:: -> /dev/cdrom)? If it has to, how should it be implented. I can only see drive device symlinks created here: http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/kernel/volume.c#L219 But I don't think that's the correct place to do it. Can we maybe have a custom flag in DefineDosDevice? I think that would be the right place to do it. Kind regards, Paul

Ctrl-Shift-N recognized as Ctrl-N
by Tobias Burnus Feb. 21, 2005

Feb. 21, 2005

Hello, using wine-20050111-0.1 (SUSE builds) or a nightly Codeweavers (or an older version of both for that matter) I have the following problem. The application Diamond 2 has the following menu shortcuts Ctrl-N -> New file Ctrl-Shift-N -> Connect atoms unfortunally, I always get a new file, even if I press Shift. Any ideas how to debug? Tobias PS: See http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name?app_id=865 PPS: Can one now submit new applications to the app.winehq.org app database? I already tried several times, but I got no response at all, then I gave up.

Re: status of wine dll's

Hi Tom, On Saturday 19 February 2005 03:56, you wrote: > can you take a couple minutes and look over our dll staus page and let > me know of any changes that your aware of? * As a rough guess, I would say that rsaenh.dll is 70% complete by now. * I think we should get rid of the rsabase.dll entry on the status_dll site (and probably also in wine cvs): rsaenh.dll is a complete replacement and rsabase isn't shipped anymore by Microsoft since Win2k (Applications don't load rsabase/rsaenh directly, but via advapi32, which looks it up in the registry). * I've just seen on the status page that I'm considered the 'recent primary worker' for secur32.dll, which I didn't write a line of code for. Did you mean this as some kind of subversive message? ;) Not on the dll status page, but related: * There is still an open 'RSA Crypto API' reference on the fun projects site. This should either be removed or be painted green (in which case rsabase has to be renamed rsaenh and the reference to openssl should be removed). It would be a pitty, if people would start implementing rsabase, since as I said I think it's dead code anyway. * Just because there are changes to be made anyway: On the acknowledgements site I'm listed to have contributed to 'advapi/crypt.c'. My focus was clearly on 'rsaenh.dll' though. Thanks, -- Michael Jung mjung(a)iss.tu-darmstadt.de
