Sending updates to wine developers guide
by Austin English Feb. 25, 2008

Feb. 25, 2008

I was looking at the website.git online, I can't find the documentation so I can edit it. http://source.winehq.org/git/website.git/?a=blob;f=templates/en/documentati… references /docs/, but that doesn't exist on git. I'm sure a lot of the info is outdated, but I was mostly looking to fix the regression testing guides, which still reference CVS, and are horribly outdated. Any possibility of adding /docs/ to website.git? -Austin

GSoC 2008 kickoff.
by Kai Blin Feb. 25, 2008

Feb. 25, 2008

Hi folks, Google announced the 2008 programme today and I wanted to use the opportunity to talk about the next steps we should take to get ready. I will start a separate thread to start collecting project ideas, presenting the ones mentioned on the wiki page [1]. New project ideas are very much welcome. If any of you feels like mentoring one of the projects, please mention that. If you're a student with your own project idea, please mention that as well. We will then have to discuss if we believe the projects are doable in a Summer of Code timeframe. When we talked about last year's projects on WineConf, it was the common opinion that we didn't do a very good job on that for 2007. I don't have a surefire solution for this, we should try being a bit more conservative though. I will add some more documentation to the SoC wiki page, does anybody have a good idea what we could call the post-mortem analysis? I know this is a correct technical term, but in my opinion it sounds a bit negative. Lacking a better alternative, I'd call it review. Can the native speakers come up with something else? Maarten, you wrote a wiki page about your 2007 experience. Could you add it to the "Helpful Links" section?

USB with libusb
by Eliot Blennerhassett Feb. 24, 2008

Feb. 24, 2008

Greetings, I have been reading about general USB support. E.g. http://www.winehq.org/?issue=331#USB%20Support%20in%20Wine which mentions 4 scenarios for giving apps access to USB. But here's a 5th that I am wondering about: The Windows app has been linked to (win32) libusb. How do I get it to use the linux version of libusb? Will it "just work", or do I need to make a libusb.dll for Wine that passes calls through to linux libusb? (I am talking to a hardware manufacturer that currently uses their own custom .sys driver to access usb on windows, suggesting libusb might make their app easier to port or just run with Wine) thanks and regards -- Eliot

Wine and PulseAudio
by Tomas Carnecky Feb. 24, 2008

Feb. 24, 2008

This subject was discussed a few months ago (around 10/2007). But it was rather a discussion about whether to make a PA sound driver or not. I personally would love to see that happen, if not only because PA has some very nifty features, like per-app volume, transparent sink switching etc, some of which are impossible to emulate through the alsa pulse plugin. Also, then next Ubuntu and Fedora releases will have PA enabled by default so if Wine doesn't work with that well there will be complaints. I switched my desktop to PA yesterday, got most apps working, and to my surprise even flash (netscape 32bit plugin in a 64bit browser). All apps that I need use PA natively, only Wine doesn't have a PA sound driver. Since winealsa.drv will stay the default driver for Linux for the foreseeable future, I started digging and hacking to see why it doesn't work with the alsa pulse plugin and what can be fixed. There are a few bug reports that track the winealsa.drv/PA issue, such as [1]. There is very little required to make it work. Only two tiny changes to the alsa pulse plugin (one can be described as a quirk, until I figure out how exactly the alsa API can be emulated using PA, seems to be a very specific issue in how Wine uses the alsa API since other apps work fine) and sound works perfectly (tested with foobar2000 and WoW, both playback and recording). alsa-1.0.16 was just released, so I hope the needed changes make it into the next version. In the PA volume control, all wine apps show up under the same name: ALSA plug-in [wine-preloader] and thus share the same volume and sink preferences. The alsa plugin could try to do some /proc/self voodoo to extract the true exe name. But given the simplicity of the PA API (no hwparams negotiation, just request a format and you'll get it) and the current problems with the alsa pulse plugin, I think a true wine sound driver would be a viable alternative. I'm still waiting to hear from those people who have said that they have a wine PA driver working :) tom [1] http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10910.

RegMon was just one of the examples. But basically, RegMon uses vxd driver for Windows 9x. For XP it uses NT driver which hooks SDT. On Server 2003 it uses legacy registry notification API. UMDF support started from XP. It does not cover 2k. Also, UMDF is just a part of WDF. However, I think it will be good to implement basic things, like NT drivers support. 2008/2/23, Dan Kegel <dank06(a)kegel.com>: > > Volodymyr Shcherbyna <v_scherbina(a)mvps.org> wrote: > > >>>[many apps use helper device drivers, e.g. RegMon, FileMon, TDIMom] > > > > http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/ntoskrnl.exe/ntoskrnl.c > > > Unfortunately, that code just do stubs, and it is not actually executed > in > > kernel mode. > > > The current ntoskrnl.c is enough to run a few apps. > It's not intended to run arbitrary NT drivers. > > Now, RegMon uses a VxD, and I don't think we're ever planning on > really supporting those.
