by Detlef Riekenberg Aug. 20, 2006

This Patch add Hints for additional Packages, which Wine can use. + X11-Extensions: Xext (Shm and shape), XRandr, XRender, Xxf86vmode added + libxslt1 added (libxslt1 depends on libxml2) + libhal added (libhal depends on libdbus-1) + libncurses / libcurses added + libsane added + libgphoto2 added + libicu added + liblcms added + libungif added - libdbus-1 not needed: libhal depends on libdbus-1 - libxml2 not needed: libxslt1 depends on libxml2 As requested by Alexandre, the Messages are displayed only, when requested by the User. I use the Option "--verbose" to enable the Messages. ("--verbose" is a standard Option for configure, but was unused) Changelog: - configure.ac: Show Messages about additional Packages with "--verbose" -- By by ... Detlef

compiling monolithic winetest executable with MSVC
by Saulius Krasuckas Aug. 20, 2006

Aug. 20, 2006

I've run "tools/api/msvcmaker --no-wine" and got winetest.dsp and wineruntests.dsp project files. If I exclude MSVC-non-compilable separate tests from the last project, some exe file is made. But is does nothing usefull. The first project produces winetest.lib, but its size is only 1272 bytes. I guess something is wrong with msvcmaker. Has anyone tried this? Did I miss something?

The idea is not to return the exact videocard but a close match (a card supporting more or less the same opengl features or with similar performance). Based on test using the closed source drivers from nvidia and ati and also using the opensource radeon dri drivers, I made a list of what extensions are available on the cards. Further I checked which of the extensions indicate correspond to certain directx versions. > You may already be aware of this "Graphics Card Comparison Guide" but in case you don't here is the links, it may help in the match making process.......

It's a souped-up GeForce2 MX and labelled "4" for marketing reasons. So perhaps move that check into the DX7 branch. -f.r.

Lots of programs use these ids to get an idea about the capabilities of the card, enable/disable features based on the detected card or sometimes they are used for evil purposes aswell (working around bugs). .... > > Compared to the first method which I described which solely relied on the parsing of renderer strings this method is better because it takes into account the opengl capabilities of the videocard. So when a new card is out which isn't in our list, we won't fallback to a very basic card but can still return a 'close match' because of the opengl extension checks. > This patch is a nice idea. Some games query pci ids and do stupid things with it if it gets one it doesn't recognize. Using fake ids of a common card will help some. This potentially means that Wine will have better compatability with older games on newer hardware. For me this fixes a problem with battlefront under wine where battlefront sees CARD_WINE and turns everything to low and disables use of programmable shaders completely. It was very annoying because there was no way to force shaders back on in the game. I wrote a hack to fix it, but now I'm glad there is a patch that does this lots better! Thanks Roderick, Jesse

re-reading from registry
by Christoph Probst Aug. 18, 2006

Aug. 18, 2006

Hi, I'm still working on the clamav integration in wine. One question that came up recently is how to handle configuration changes. I'd like to allow to configure the virusscanner 'online' without restarting the wineserver or applications currently running. As the configuration is stored in the registry I could read all affected values every time I need them (that means several RegQueryValueExA() calls for every virusscan). But I found that this costs quite some time and even seems to cause IE5 to crash (does anyone know or want to know the reason?). When I save a local copy of my registry values and only update them every x seconds everything is fine. But is that a recommended way or is there a better solution to get notified if a registry key has been changed? If found RegNotifyChangeKeyValue() but I'm not sure if it is the right approach ...

You correctly used $WINEPREFIX before. Also that means that you should add files that are WINEPREFIX related. Or you will keep overwriting the other ones. Vitaliy Margolen
