Please read msdn about custom action type 17. The source dll for the custom action is the installed file, so file->TargetPath is right. -- James Hawkins

Fwd: Status of Wine in (K)Ubuntu
by Vijay Kiran Kamuju April 24, 2007

April 24, 2007

Hi Jonathan Riddell has sent me a reply regarding the wine status in Ubuntu. I am also putting that message below. I have nominated Scott Ritchie as maintainer for wine in Ubuntu. I think we need to put up a proposal for wine for Ubuntu. Any Ideas, guys.

I don't know of anyone who actively works on wine in the Ubuntu archives. I'd recommend posting a proposal to ubuntu-motu for more regular updates. But updates must follow the ubuntu release schedule. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu Jonathan

SambaXP 2007 Report, Day 1
by Kai Blin April 24, 2007

April 24, 2007

Hi folks, this will be the first installment of my SambaXP 2007 report. SambaXP started on monday with a tutorial from Jerry Carter, which was interesting but not really related to Wine. However, in the evening I finally managed to grab hold of Steve French to talk about implementing a remote named pipes interface in cifs. This afternoon, the actual conference is about to start, featuring a couple of talks about winbind, cifs and couple of other things that might be interesting for Wine. For remote named pipes, Steve suggested to use mount to set up the pipes, switching from byte mode to message mode and back using chattr. I'll look into writing some example code for Steve to test and then we'll look into kicking that off. That's it for the monday writeup, I expect that today will give more intersting things to write about. Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin, <kai Dot blin At gmail Dot com> WorldForge developer http://www.worldforge.org/ Wine developer http://wiki.winehq.org/KaiBlin/ -- Will code for cotton.

UninstallProgram(HKEY_X) is a lot shorter. The point is, don't add something until you're going to use it. On top of that, this new code is basically UninstallProgram(HKEY_CURRENT_USER) when the original code was (parameter added for convenience) UninstallProgram(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). That's not right. -- James Hawkins

Re: [PATCH] Make wine build with the Intel CC

Also these compiling flags seem kind of agressive. As I said, just quoted from my .profile, nothing special for wine. I just have -lstdc++ added there as some apps need it to compile with icc. > They are defined in include/winbase.h That's the point. They are defined INCLUDING the asm code. That's why the asm code is already defined and not needed in the file itself. > just make sure icc is recognised there. You mean: Make sure that icc doesn't get recognized as gcc. Well, I tried that. It doesn't work. This will still end in stuff like: /tmp/iccCwib4Das_.s:1499: Error: symbol `wine_get_fs' is already defined /tmp/iccCwib4Das_.s:1523: Error: symbol `wine_set_fs' is already defined > you can't just comment out those Interlocked functions, some > applications might need them. I only commented them out because they are defined TWICE. They are still there and thus the programs run.

D3DRM (to be continued....)
by David.Adam＠math.cnrs.fr April 23, 2007

April 23, 2007

Hi all, my patches for D3DRM have not been applied yet. I thought to have made all the requested changes. But it seems no. So, am I in the good way? What changes must I make now? These patches fix Bug 7442 also. Thanks you in advance for any advice and suggestion. David Adam PS: I follow closely the following advice of wine-wiki for developpers: "Just do not give up!" of the page http://winehq.org/site/sending_patches :))

The Alky Project
by Ian Macfarlane April 23, 2007

April 23, 2007

The Inquirer has an interesting article about something called the Alky Project which claims to have initial support for DirectX 10 on Windows XP (and possibly other operating systems). The Inquirer article is here (it links to a number of bits of info about the project): http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39095 They've released some sample DirectX 10 DLL files here: http://fallingleafsystems.com/site_media/preview.zip which they claim support at least one of the DirectX 10 demos fairly well (there's a readme in the zip, which is small, only 824k). I see that some person with an interest in WINE has already asked about this, to make sure they're not ripping off WINE, and they've responded with some details (including a bit of code) here: http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12 Just posting this in case any developers haven't seen this yet and would like to know about it - sorry if it's just repeating stuff you already know, but I couldn't find anything in wine.devel about it. Best wishes Ian Macfarlane (I'm not affiliated with any of the stuff mentioned in this email)
