IMM / IME work
by Aric Stewart June 16, 2016

June 16, 2016

Hello all, I know this will only interest a small portion of you but thought i would give a quick update on the state of IMM32 since I have brought it to a major milestone. All the main patches are in which now separate IMM32 and IMEs. There is still more work to do but the major framework is in place. X11 XIM processing should be unchanged. However wine can now begin to load native windows IMEs as well. I have tested with windows ATOK20 (a popular Japanese IME) and successfully had text processing in a fully IME aware application. There are still clear issues to resolve in many aspects of this processing but we have forward progress. ImmInstallIME does not work yet, nor does switching keyboards. So to get the native IME to work you need to add this registry key. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\<keyboard layout>] "Ime File"=<IME filename> so for example for ATOK20 in Japanese i used. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\e0010411] "Ime File"="ATOK20W.IME" I would love to hear how well things work. I am sure using native IMEs will quickly show us many places where IMM32 needs to be improved. One issues I am going to investigate next is that sometimes non x11drv ime initialization, if occurring too early, causes x11drv to fail to create windows. I have not investigated with the latest changes to xim.c (which may already correct this problem) but if you see this problem this patch may help and i believe the IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL) is already unneeded. diff --git a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c index d4df9f7..0c98136 100644 --- a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c +++ b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c @@ -475,7 +475,6 @@ static void X11DRV_OpenIM(Display *display, XPointer ptr, XP XUnregisterIMInstantiateCallback(display, NULL, NULL, NULL, X11DRV_OpenIM, wine_tsx11_unlock(); IME_XIMPresent(TRUE); - IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL); } thanks, -aric

What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa Aug. 2, 2014

Aug. 2, 2014

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

winspool: ERROR_INVALID_NAME in GetDefaultPrinter() ?
by Detlef Riekenberg Oct. 9, 2013

Oct. 9, 2013

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

Wine runs IE7!

Nov. 26, 2010

Well, sort of. I found bugs in shell32, rpcrt4, comctl32 and wininet that I had to implement, stub and override my way past before it would render a page, but finally, here's the obligatory screenshot. -Hans

meaning of "Hardware" field in bugzilla?
by Dan Kegel Dec. 12, 2009

Dec. 12, 2009

Does "mac" mean "powerpc mac only"? I rather thought it meant "apple macintosh", regardless of cpu. I ask because Austin has just gone through and changed lots of "mac" bugs to "pc" even though the bugs were on Intel macs, which just seems wrong.

search path redux - if office 2007 always uses a private riched20, why does wine interpose its own global one?
by Dan Kegel Oct. 18, 2009

Oct. 18, 2009

See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14980 Essentially, to run Office 2007, you have to set an override for riched20. Since Office installs a new, spiffier version of riched20 in its own private directory, and expects to find it there, isn't it a bug that we don't let it have it? Sounds like it's time to write a conformance test... sure would be nice if that override wasn't needed.

re: Wine t-shirts?

I'd like to bring back the Codeweavers drunken penguin t-shirts, perhaps with a slightly more generic Wine design. Coincidentally, I found some site on the net had taken the logo from that shirt and erased the Crossover logo from the wine bottle; here's a cleaned-up copy: http://kegel.com/wine/wine-penguin-corkscrew.png

winequartz.drv Mac OS X UI discontinued?
by Adam Strzelecki July 11, 2009

July 11, 2009

Hi, I know that CodeWeavers supports quite nicely Mac builds of Wine, and CrossOver for Mac, yet all of them are X11. There was also once Darwine - an effort to provide Carbon Wine UI driver and Mac optimizations & L&F. Pretty many of those were merged back to Wine, but not winequartz.drv. Do you guys think about reviving winequartz.drv? This would greatly improve Wine on Mac as we could have native Mac fonts handling that's faster than FreeType, Dock icons for Wine applications, and few others. There's still old copy of the it hanging around, but it is abandoned, and no longer compiles with Wine. Or I think it would be cool to write new winecocoa.drv or sthing like that, as Apple officially states that Carbon is deprecated. While it is not well documented, it is pretty easy with Cocoa to make console non-bundled process to be UI foreground process and handle events and Dock: (This code is copyrighted by myself ;P) > int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { > ProcessSerialNumber psn = {0, kCurrentProcess}; > OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(&psn, > kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication); > SetFrontProcess(&psn); > > NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; > [NSApplication sharedApplication]; > > NSImage *icon = [NSImage imageNamed:@"NSApplicationIcon"]; > [NSApp setApplicationIconImage:icon]; > > [NSApp finishLaunching]; > > NSWindow *window = [[NSWindow alloc] > initWithContentRect:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 100, 100) > styleMask:NSTitledWindowMask| > NSClosableWindowMask|NSMiniaturizableWindowMask|NSResizableWindowMask > backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]; > [window center]; > [window setTitle:@"Test"]; > > NSButton *button = [[NSButton alloc] > initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(10, 10, 80, 80)]; > [button setTitle:@"What?"]; > [button setBezelStyle:1]; > [[window contentView] addSubview:button]; > [button release]; > > [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:NSApp]; > > while(1) { > NSEvent *event = [NSApp > nextEventMatchingMask:NSAnyEventMask > untilDate > :[NSDate distantFuture] > inMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode > dequeue:YES > ]; > if(event) [NSApp sendEvent:event]; > } > [pool release]; > return 0; > } BTW.

Wine translation statistics sources
by Mikołaj Zalewski June 22, 2009

June 22, 2009

Hi, I didn't update the translation statistics (http://www.mikolaj.zalewski.pl/wine-transl/) very regularly lately - my server is a bit broken and I can't run the scripts from cron but have remember to do it manually from a different computer. I have plans to fix it, but in the mean time, as some people may want fresh data, I have finished the changes I've been working on and uploaded the sources. It should be very easy to run them on ones machine and check the tree one has on disk - there is a README with explanations. The archive is available at http://www.mikolaj.zalewski.pl/dl/wine-transl.tgz . It is the latest version that adds support for dumping/diffing dialogs. Mikolaj Zalewski

Wine on Windows - wiki notes
by David Gerard March 12, 2009

March 12, 2009

Wine on Windows is an idea of real-world usefulness, as newer versions of Microsoft Windows increasingly fail to support apps Wine still supports. I've started a wiki page: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows This covers my experiments with the three main POSIX layers (Cygwin, MinGW and Interix) on XPsp3. Various people have told me they've got it to work before (native compilation and install on Windows), but I seem to be the one gathering data :-) If anyone who's done it could please (a) put there what they did with what versions of Wine and tools (b) check with current Wine, that would be most appreciated. - d.
