Re: Hardy Heron -- Pulseaudio interferes with non-gnome audio
by Susan Cragin March 19, 2008

March 19, 2008

Wine has two bugs filed for this also: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10495 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10910 I am worried that everyone (WINE, ALSA, Pulse, Ubuntu) is not on the same page. Will try cross-posting bug information. Part of the problem seems to be that the most-missed application is Skype, and some are trying to get away with blaming closed-source issues.

Alexandre Julliard : winex11: Fix bug report address

The Patch points to wine-cvs. Shouldn't it point to wine-devel.

Version of Windows
by Chris Teague March 19, 2008

March 19, 2008

This is probably trivial, but I'm having a tough time figuring out the current version of Windows that Wine is mimicking. I have a situation where I need to behave differently if the version is NT (0x0500) versus when it is XP (0x0600). I see the WINVER #define, but that doesn't seem right to me since this must be a runtime variable. Can someone point me at an example of how to tell what the current version of Windows is? Thanks, Chris

Re: Maarten Lankhorst : winmm: Fix midi deadlock by not holding lock on release .
by Ken Thomases March 19, 2008

March 19, 2008

This has a whiff of the double-checked locking anti-pattern. I can't see a way where it would really bite us in this case, but that anti- pattern has several subtleties. So, I just wanted to prompt people to double-check it (pun acknowledged).

Yes, we should include the svg source, and make sure we can rebuild the icons from it. Last time I tried to do that using your script I didn't get good results, the image was all mangled, so we need to look into this further. Can you please resubmit the svg? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Use HeapAlloc() to allocate them. Ciao, Marcus

cygwin runs!
by Dan Kegel March 19, 2008

March 19, 2008

Hey! Cygwin actually installs and runs inside Wine! There are a few problems (gcc can't compile "hello, world" yet, symlinks like the one for vi don't work yet, the setup utility doesn't resize properly, and mkpasswd -l aborts), but the shell starts up fine and vim runs inside it! Hats off to the Wine team! - Dan

Wine wiki cleanup
by Dan Kegel March 18, 2008

March 18, 2008

Over time, the Wine wiki front page grew rather unwieldy, so I split the developer information off into two new pages, leaving only a simplified front page behind, mostly aimed at users. It's radically simpler. Hopefully it'll be more welcoming to new users. Comments?
