RFC: Update Mac OSX stack patch

by Nick Burns

I recently found genpatch. Wow, wowey wow wow. Very sleek Used this line to gen the attached patch ./tools/genpatch -v -n winePatchMacOSXStackUpdate -c "Mac OSX stack update" -m "include/msvcrt/process.h tools/winegcc/winegcc.c" Anyway -- this patch is very simple and just extends the work that was done before to other places where stdcall and cdecl can be defined This makes sure they are all consistent and not misdefined (leading to runtime failures) And lastly -- any comments welcome... Ill try and follow this patch -- and at somepoint work on my openal patch (which did not go over too well last time.... poor openal -- there there I still like you) - Nick

Re: Making cxtest.org more usable by linking it to app db and bugzilla

Hello Dan, interesting, and actually not hard to do. I created bug for this (in our internal CxTest bug list).

Adobe Photoshop idea

by Karsten Anderson

I know a lot of people really want newer versions of photoshop (CS, CS2) to work with wine, myself included, so I opened up a feature request on Adobe's Photoshop forum, first with the intent to lobby for a Linux version, but then had the idea that maybe it would be more realistic to get Photoshop to work in Linux via Wine, possibly via having some sort of collaboration between the two dev groups. A reply I got on their messageboard is actually from a dev, and I suggested to him that they work with the Wine devs on this, as it seems much more realistic and possible than a Linux port. So I'm sending this to you guys as a heads up that this might be a good opportunity to get in contact with the Adobe people about getting some ideas on getting Photoshop working in Wine. Here's the link to the thread: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc1d4af/7 maybe someone could reply and say Hi at least and say to Chris (that's the guy) that you'd be receptive to some input from Adobe on this. I can only see this as a win-win situation for everyone, Linux users for getting Photoshop working, and Adobe for the admiration of the Linux community and the possibility of new revenue that might be available to them via new sales of the software. Sorry to drop in from out of nowhere on this, but I thought the opportunity seemed to good to not say anything. So long and thanks for wine, it's awesome :) Karsten

Making cxtest.org more usable by linking it to app db and bugzilla

by Dan Kegel

It occurred to me that one problem with cxtest.org is that it's hard to browse the results of a particular application - and that it would be really cool if the app db and bugzilla had a filed called 'cxtest results' that linked to the cxtest results for the application in question. Naturally, this field would be empty for most apps, but gradually as we add more tests to cxtest, it would start to be quite useful.
