Things That Doesn't Work Too Well With DxGrab=Yes (tm)
by Molle Bestefich April 14, 2006

April 14, 2006

Hi. Hope I do not spam too much. Things That Doesn't Work Too Well With DxGrab=Yes (tm) ============================================= 1.) Grabbing isn't disabled when I switch to the KDE menu with CTRL-ESC. (I was trying to start ksnapshot.) 2.) Grabbing isn't disabled when I switch (to ksnapshot) with ALT-TAB. 3.) Grabbing isn't disabled when I start the Campaign Editor in Starcraft, which is a separate application launched in windowed mode in maximized state. Even though the Campaign Editor correctly gets focus, the mouse is still caught in the rectangle where Starcraft used to be, plus some keyboard and all mouse input doesn't work. The MS-Windows solution is to minimize fullscreen applications and let the mouse roam freely when the fullscreen app loose focus. Also, MS-Windows switches back to the user's preferred resolution when a fullscreen application looses focus, which is nice. I'm not sure what the best solution for Wine is, but the current one isn't it ;-). I'll open a bug on this unless anyone think that's a bad idea? There's already bug 888, but that's about an entirely different approach which I think is less useful.

tasklet - sfd2ttf - eliminate dependency on FontForge (for anybody who's interested)
by Mike McCormack April 14, 2006

April 14, 2006

Hi, Wine's build time dependency on FontForge is causing a bit of a problem, as can be seen by browsing the wine-devel archives for the last month. I propose that a small sfd2ttf utility be written and used instead of FontForge to eliminate the dependency, and make everybody a little happier. George Williams, the author of FontForge, is happy for us to use his code under LGPL, providing that we give the correct attributions. He'd probably like to sign off on the final code though. Alexandre agrees with the idea of an sfd2ttf utility, and is likely to accept it into the Wine tree, provided that is small enough (read 1/2 files) and is appropriately cut down. As I'm busy with my day job at the moment, we're only missing somebody to write it. Any volunteers? Mike

ExtractFiles calls cabinet.Extract which only has an ansi version
by James Hawkins April 13, 2006

April 13, 2006

Hey, Only one advpack function needs to be converted to unicode, ExtractFilesA. The problem is that we use cabinet.Extract to extract the files, but cabinet only provides one version of Extract, and it's ansi and not unicode. Francois, you noticed that advpack now had A/W functions, does the new cabinet have these as well? If not, will I just have to convert the unicode to ansi and call Extract? Also, which SDK has these new functions? I couldn't find them. -- James Hawkins

how to open a linux application in the windows program
by yaoyansi April 13, 2006

April 13, 2006

I appreciate your help as I begin to understand Wine. I installed kernel-win32 on Linux,and tried running a program which is developed with vc++6.0. The program runs well except opening a linux application. I can use system(),WinExec(),and ShellExecute() to open a windows application in vc++6.0. The question is,how to open a linux application in my program?and how to fill the correct parameters in these 3 functions. --yaoyansi --------------------------------- 雅虎1G免费邮箱百分百防垃圾信雅虎助手-搜索、杀毒、防骚扰

bad archive link in WWN Issue #311
by Tony Lambregts April 13, 2006

April 13, 2006

The archive link for "Audio Latency Issues" in issue 311 of Wine Weekly News gives a 404 error: http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-April/046088.html It should probably be replaced by the following link. http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-April/046139.html I would fix it myself but I am at work right now and I will be out of town (and away from my linux box) for the Easter long weekend so it will be a while before I am able to do so. So If someone else could provide a proper patch I would appreciate it in the mean time here is a the best patch I could come up with using the tools I have Thanks

So they are (presumably) the correct values. Wine puts in margins, which it shouldn't in this case.

Re: wined3d: move traces into D3DFmtMakeGlCfg and fix FIXME for depth/stencil buffer "not found"

But, the TRACE's could still be useful.
