First Wine-Aware malware?
by Stefan Dösinger April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Hi, I just tried to run some "Malware Checker" just for fun in Wine, just out of interest how many infected files it will find on a fresh .wine setup. Bad security habbit, I know :-| . This app was the "ErrorSafe Scanner" from http://de.errorsafe.com/pages/scanner_de/index.php?aid=fastint_at_de_lng_ed… Don't blame me for system breakage if you go there ;-) Well, I ran it in a fresh .wine with my unpriviledged testing user(forgot to remove the Z:\ drive :-( ) . It started without showing anything, and created some autostart registry entries. As it couldn't be killed with Strg+C, I looked at the processes with ps to kill it. Well, I found a lot of "ErrorSafeScannerInstall_de.exe -nag", but also this: 8835 pts/2 S+ 0:00 sh -c ping -w 1 instlog.errorsafe.com >/dev/null 2>/dev/null 8836 pts/2 S+ 0:00 ping -w 1 instlog.errorsafe.com Well, it also showed a few wininet fixmes: fixme:wininet:InternetCheckConnectionW Is there something in Wine which executes the Unix shell to run ping, redirecting all output to /dev/null ? Or did this malware know about Wine and Linux, and started the native apps, with the redirection? Well, I will now do a complete security check on my whole Linux box :-( (That's bad security too, I know, I should flatten the whole system) BTW, that malware is described here: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/errorsafe.html. This page seems to descibe an older version, as the registry entries were different. Stefan

SoC idea: connet to clamav
by Marcus Meissner April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Hi, Another idea for Summer of Code that strikes me as useful and doable: - Virus Scanner Support WINE is currently one of the ways a UNIX user runs code downloaded from the network. This code is also known to be more often viral infected, might contain worms, or spyware. There exists an OpenSource virus scan engine called ClamAV which could be hooked into WINE, for instance via CreateProcess() or LoadLibrary() or other places. [There is however a small license problem. Clamav is GPLed, while WINE is LPGL.] Ciao, Marcus

SoC project suggestions
by Mike McCormack April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Here's some suggestions for SoC projects: * Complete the Wine Web browser (aka. Internet Explorer) frame (menu/toolbar/status bar) in shdocvw. We currently have code to render HTML, thanks to Jacek's Mozilla work, and a frame with no controls. * Full URLMoniker implementation. The main goal would be to get native IE working with builtin urlmon.dll. (Jacek's suggestion) * Implement transacted mode for OLE32 Storage (STGM_TRANSACTED). Mike

Tahoma font
by Louis. Lenders April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Hi, next week i have quite some (travel)time i have to kill, so i thought maybe i could use the time to add tahoma font to wine (needed for Steam). I played around a bit with fontforge and a basically i think i get how to create fonts, and add them to wine. However, i'm not sure what the legal way is to do this; if i import the windows Tahoma.TTF into fontforge it seems the .sfd is already generated but i guess it's not legal to add that to wine. Anyone could help me with a quick (and clear) HOWTO ? ___________________________________________________________ > > Switch an email account to Yahoo!

SambaXP update, part 2
by Kai Blin April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

Hi folks, now that SambaXP is officialy over, the samba team a couple of other people have retreated to a smaller room to discuss other things. Steve French had a talk about using CIFS on linux as a replacement to NFS which seems to be pretty cool. A couple of other talks were given, too, but if you're really interested, have a look at the schedule[1]. What was more interesting was that after the talks there was a panel discussion where the samba team expressed interest in continuing cooperation with Wine as discussed on last year's wineconf. Steve asked how exactly we wanted the named pipes exposed and if we could write up some testcases for that stuff. I think if anybody is interested in working on that is to email Steve directly. I got some more work on GENSEC done, but in order to really link this together, some more work is needed. I still have things blowing up on me when trying to use it for client-side sspi. Well, that's it for today, Kai [1] http://www.sambaxp.org/index.php?id=25 -- Kai Blin, (blin at gmx dot net) The star of riches is shining upon you.

A bit more on edit control margins
by Duane Clark April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

I went ahead and took a bunch more measurements of font margins in the edit control. These are all taken on real Win2k using traces added to the conformance test test_margins_font_change, and cross compiled with MinGW. So here they are for posterity. The results are rather confusing to me. But there seems to be a general trend. If MinA < MinC, then the trend seems to be something close to: left = (- MinA - MinC) / 2 right = (- MinA - MinC) / 2 if MinA >= MinC left = (- MinA) / 2 right = (- MinC) / 2 edit.c:807:Font:Verdana

Re: First patch: Regedit Multi-String Value
by Juan Lang April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

Hi Philippe, a couple more thoughts: +TCHAR* convert_multistringvalue( BOOL toRegistryFormat, TCHAR* value, LONG *len ) This function shares very little code between the toRegistryFormat == FALSE and toRegistryFormat == TRUE versions. I think this would be cleaner as two separate functions. + /* We found out the amount of strings in the list. Allocate enough memory for the + new list of strings separated by new lines. */ This comment's a bit verbose, I think it's clear enough what the function is doing without it. + /* A REG_MULTI_SZ entry is basically a list of NULL terminated strings */ + /* Each string represents a single line. The list is terminated by another NULL characters */ + /* Here we convert all the new line charaters to NULL characters */ + /* Also we make sure to terminate with two NULL characters */ This comment is redundant with the comments for the function. Like Mike M's comments, mine are mostly cosmetic, which is a good sign. Once you feel the patch is ready, please send to wine-patches.

[SOC] ASIO
by Christian Gmeiner April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

What is ASIO? ASIO is a driver interface for pro-audio apps developed by Steinberg. It's somewhat similar to our beloved Jack sound server, but not as advanced. I thought about implementing ASIO for wine so we are one step neaer to a running Cubase. I have also some advanced audio hardware - hercules 16/12 fw (need to check if there are some dirvers). At the moment I am a student of Computer Sciences in the 4 term and have done programming with c, c++ and java. Bugs, which get fixed: http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2161 What do you think about this idea? Thanks, Christian

Announcing Wineconf 2006, urgent need for head count
by Jeremy White April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

Hi folks, I am pleased to announce that Rob Shearman has arranged for us to have Wineconf in his home town, Reading, in the UK. It will be held at the University of Reading: http://www.fmd.rdg.ac.uk/res/CommercialAccommodation.asp It will be on the weekend of September 16 and 17. We have a wrinkle we need your help on. That is, as we make our deposit (which we need to do quickly), we have to tell them how many rooms we want to reserve. The have a good deal on rooms (40 pounds/night, which is quite good, afaict). The trick is that we have to pay for all the rooms we reserve ahead of time; we can't ask for 50 rooms and then only use 43. We have to pay for all 50. We may be able to ask for 50 rooms, and then get another 3 or 4, although that's not guaranteed. So, *if you want a room at Wineconf*, please fill in this form ASAP: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf/survey06 If you're not sure you'll make it, but think you might, we have a choice for that too <grin>. Act now or you'll be sleeping in Swindon... Cheers, Jeremy

Questions about Wine

Hi! I have a question and some reminds about Wine. 1.) When it will be all applications and games supported on 100% ? 2.) Why wine doesn't accept my own config at all? 3.) Add more options to Winecfg. It will be fine and welcomed. 4.) I have small fonts in some apps (size about 4 and it has curious look) 5.) Wine doesn't link new installed apps to my desktop and "start menu" My system is Fedora Core 5 and KDE as window manager

Just want to make a comment about the current status of the project
by Philip V. Neves April 27, 2006

April 27, 2006

I've been really looking at wine for the last couple of months or so. Last little bit I've been helping by doing some testing and filing bug reports. I must say the developers of this project have done an amazing job. Its increadible how close you all are. If you can at least get code associated with making install shield based installers and other installers work flawlessly in the next little while this project will set the being a major thorn in Microsofts side when they bring out Vista. This project has the potential to really deflate them. If anything could be a major encouragement to you this no doubt should be. Thanx guys.

Temporary wine.git tree
by Mike McCormack April 27, 2006

Hi, Since Alexandre is lying on the beach in Greece and there'll be a gap between commits, I've made my Wine tree available and will be committing patches from wine-patches to it. You can pull (merge) these changes into your current Wine GIT tree it as follows: git fetch http://mandoo.dyndns.org/wine.git master:mmbranch git pull . mmbranch I'll send Alexandre a all the patches in the tree when he returns, but his tastes may differ to mine... :) Hopefully this will help prevent development from dropping to a snail's pace for two weeks.

First patch: Regedit Multi-String Value
by Hedos April 26, 2006

April 26, 2006

Hello folks! I'm new to Wine development, and I've just completed my first patch. I hope I could get some advices to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. Just a bit myself now to clear up a few things: I'm a first year college student who realized this week-end the Google Summer of Code was back again. So, I thought I should definitly give it a try. I started to look around to eventually stumble on the Wine page, which immediatly kept my attention as the type of programming it requires interested me the most. So, I already had experience using Wine, but none regarding Wine development. I downloaded the source and started exploring it since then. There seems to be a lot of exciting projects one could work on for Wine, I might send an application for a project, but so far, I only want to keep exploring before preparing anything else. I tried to code something to get used to the project organization, so I started with something really simple, which is the patch I am proposing here. It allows Multi-String Value edits in Wine's regedit! It is quite simple and definitly not concerning Wine's core code, but I thought it'd be a good start. If anybody wants to try it and comment, I'd be really glad to hear from you! I'll keep you updated as I adventure deeper in my Wine exploration! Thanks a lot, Philippe Paradis

Open Invention Network
by Michael Jung April 26, 2006

April 26, 2006

Hello, I've just read an article on Linux Weekly News, which I guess might be interesting for Wine: http://lwn.net/Articles/178673/ (How Mono got into Fedora) I'll try to summarize: Basically, Novell bought Commerce One when they went bancrupt. Commerce One had some important patents related to XML webservices. Novell donated those to a newly formed organization called "Open Invention Network". OIN gives royalty free licences to companys and individuals who agree not to sue certain open source projects for violating their patents in turn. (http://openinventionnetwork.com/pat_linuxdefpop.html - Wine is currently not on the list). The interesting thing is the following. If a project, which is on this list, is sued for patent infringment, then it is allowed to use the OIN patents in a countersuit. I hope this isn't old news. Perhaps Wine should apply to get on OIN's "Linux definition" list? Bye, -- Michael Jung mjung(a)iss.tu-darmstadt.de

SOC project
by Kai Blin April 26, 2006

April 26, 2006

Hi folks, after I implemented NTLM authentication using samba's ntlm_auth for last year's SOC, I'm considering entering again this year. Now what I wanted to as was the following. I've recently started to look into the GENSEC library samba4 has to implement SSPI authentication and signing/sealing, as the latter is impossible to do with ntlm_auth. Now, would you consider this to be too cheesy to do as a project for summer of code? If yes, I would of course try to think of something else I can do, but I'd really like to see SSPI doing all that's possible on win32 one day. And I think GENSEC is the way to go. So far this has the issue of GENSEC not being under the LGPL, but I've already talked to Andrew Bartlett about this, and I'm currently writing a proof of concept application that GENSEC is usable from outside the samba source. Once I have that talking to SSPI on the windows side, I guess I can convince him to relicense GENSEC as LGPL. The backup plan to that would be to add a small wrapper program and use a stdio interface to GENSEC similar to the solution with ntlm_auth now. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin, (blin at gmx dot net) If condition persists, consult your physician.

Support section revamp
by Jeremy White April 26, 2006

April 26, 2006

Hi Folks, We've now reconnected the newgroup comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine to the wine-users mailing list, so they are, in theory, one 'virtual' community. We also revamped the web site a bit to try to make these things pop out a bit more. Please see this page in particular: http://www.winehq.org/site/getting_help Hopefully this will help people find a way to search for help and connect to the wine-users community a bit more easily, and ease some of the current pain around the lack of a forum. Cheers, Jeremy

SambaXP update
by Kai Blin April 25, 2006

April 25, 2006

Hi folks, As SerNet and the Samba team has invited me to SambaXP, I thought I'd give a short update on what happened here so far that is interesting for Wine. The talks today were only mildly interesting from the Wine point of view, but that chatting with the Samba folks in the breaks was really productive. I've talked to Steve French about exposing named pipes as file descriptors or fifos and he thinks that should be doable. I have to admit I'm not totally sure what those beasts are needed for, but Juan asked me to bug Steve about. I guess his talk about using CIFS on linux will be interesting, too. On the SSPI/GENSEC side, I've talked to Andrew Bartlett and Jelmer Vernooij about isolating GENSEC from the Samba code a bit more so it's useable without pulling in too much of the other Samba code (which is also GPL and not useable). They don't seem too happy about releasing GENSEC under the LGPL either, but seem to prefer that to other, less elegant solutions like a wrapper library or a stdio interface. On the bright side, I managed to get Wine code to compile with GENSEC using some quick hacks. That brings me a bit closer to a proof of concept implementation the Samba people want to see. The schedule for tomorrow will see more technical talks, and I'll continue to hack on wine-gensec a bit, and of course I'll try to give another report from the conference. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin, (blin at gmx dot net) For a man to truly understand rejection, he must first be ignored by a cat.

Re: [WINED3D] Use shorter lines in drawprim.c (whitespace)
by Stefan Dösinger April 25, 2006

April 25, 2006

Hi, > +void primitiveDeclarationConvertToStridedData( > + IWineD3DDevice *iface, > + BOOL useVertexShaderFunction, > + Direct3DVertexStridedData *strided, > + LONG BaseVertexIndex, > + DWORD *fvf, > + BOOL storeOrder, > + INT arrayUsageMap[WINED3DSHADERDECLUSAGE_MAX_USAGE]) { I personally dislike that. In my opinion it's better this way: void primitiveDeclarationConvertToStridedData(IWineD3DDevice *iface, BOOL useVertexShaderFunction, ... ) { code; } Well, primitiveDeclarationConvertToStridedData is a bit of a bad example, because the function name isn't that short and INT arrayUsageMap[WINED3DSHADERDECLUSAGE_MAX_USAGE] is long too. However, it makes much more sense for the usual COM functions IMO: /*************************************************************** * IWineD3DDevice::SetTexture * * Some comments don't hurt. That's the usual style I have * found in other places, I think we should consistently * write what each function does for WineD3D, as is is a Wine- * specific dll and doesn't have MSDN documentation * * Params: * stage: What's this? * Texture: What's this? * * Returns: * What should the return value be? * ***************************************************************/ HRESULT WINAPI IWineD3DDeviceImpl_SetTexture(IWineD3DDevice *iface, DWORD stage, IWineD3DBaseTexture *Texture) { IWineD3DDeviceImpl *This = (IWineD3DDeviceImpl *) iface; IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl *TexImpl = (IWineD3DBaseTextureImpl *) Texture; HRESULT hr; foo(); bar(); /* Do a function call: */ hr = IWineD3DDevice_FunkyCall(iface, Param1, Param2); if(hr != D3D_OK) { /* What went wrong? */ return WINED3DERR_VERYBADERROR; } return WINED3D_OK; } Just my 2 cent. I know this is all a matter of taste. I plan making up the WineD3D code this way when AJ is back and patches go in again. Stefan

Getting wrc to handle long long
by Bill Medland April 25, 2006

April 25, 2006

(Further to my previous patch) I have little real experience with handling multiple platforms so I have no idea how this needs to be fixed. Can anyone make some suggestions. Currently the decision as to whether wrc will handle long long constants depends upon #if defined (SIZEOF_LONGLONG) && SIZEOF_LONGLONG >= 8 So where is this SIZEOF_LONGLONG supposed to come from? I presumed it was either a standard definition or a Microsoft one but I guess not; The APR uses one but that seems to be it. So I suggest maybe we should simply use #if defined (LLONG_MAX) which is at least part of C99 But then how to get LLONG_MAX set when compiling up wpp. I managed to hack it by adding std=gnu99 to the CFLAGS in the makefile but that is hardly portable. Can someone give a better suggestion? Is there something we are already checking in the configure that we can use? -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

May I ask why such complication? Isn't it easier to create all those COM LPT, NUL, etc in ~/.wine/dosdevices? That seems to be a better way to handle this, because that some-what close to how native does it. Btw that also will clear all the questions where COM and LPT ports point to. Vitaliy Margolen
