updating spec files - which windows version to use?
by Austin English July 1, 2010

July 1, 2010

Howdy, I was looking at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23421, and wanted to add a stub for it. Using winedump on a Windows 7 shlwapi.dll gives different exports than Windows XP SP3 shlwapi.dll. Which dll should the spec file be updated to match? I'm assuming the latest and greatest, since eventually applications will head that direction. An additional related question. Some of the functions that are ordinals in previous Windows versions are now exported (e.g., ParseUrlA/W seems to have been documented/exported since Vista). Should the spec file be adjusted to match the newer behavior? I'm assuming this will have to wait until after 1.2 to be applied... Thanks! Austin

Using string resources in conformance tests.
by Michael Mc Donnell June 29, 2010

June 29, 2010

Hi wine developers! I've written a conformance test (my first) for bug 17986: BrsFolder_OnCommand make new folder not implemented. The conformance test tests if clicking on the "Make New Folder" button in a SHBrowseForFolder dialog box results in creation of a new folder. I want the test to be localized and work across all newer versions of Windows, but I'm having trouble with it. I use the LoadString function to get the "New folder" string from shell32.dll that is used for creating a new folder. The problem is that the location where it is stored in shell32.dll varies between the different versions of Windows. I can only make the test work on one version at a time. Even the capitalization varies between the different versions of Windows, i.e. "New Folder" vs. "New folder". My question is how should we handle a problem like the one mentioned above? Should we avoid using string resources in conformance test, or should we try to handle the version issues? One solution would be to hard code the string instead of loading it from a resource. This would, however, mean that the test would be skipped on all non-English versions of windows, and it would additionally have to ignore the capitalization differences. Another solution would be to get the string according to the version of Windows. This would, however, pose a problem in wine because it does not emulate any specific Windows version. The location of the string in wine's shell32.dll does not match any version of Windows, and we would therefore also have to detect if the test is running on wine. Has anyone bumped into the same problem, or does anyone know a thread about this on wine-devel? Do you have any comments on what to do? Thanks, Michael Mc Donnell

The WINE Project should solicit grants to hire professional developers
by Richard Yao June 29, 2010

June 29, 2010

Dear All: I am a senior undergraduate applied mathematics/computer science student and this year, I migrated from Windows 7 to Gentoo Linux on my computers. I tried using Linux alternatives to many applications I used on Windows, but not all software has good alternatives, so I have been using WINE for certain things. The WINE project's accomplishments so far have been extremely impressive, but at the same time, WINE's implementation of the Windows API is deficient in many ways and I think that the WINE project will need to improve its own organization before progress toward true API parity with Windows can be made. I can divide WINE's development resources into two groups, volunteer and professional. The volunteer group is predominantly focused on games.The professional group is comprised of CodeWeavers and Google. CodeWeavers does what its customers want it to do, and as such, it has a large focus on games. Google on the other hand, paid CodeWeavers to make some improvements to WINE, mostly for Picasa, but also for Adobe Photoshop CS2, the reason for which I cannot imagine. Google also has its annual Summer of Code program. Each source of manpower has its own special interest and I do not believe that WINE will ever obtain any kind of API parity with Windows as long as this remains the case. With these things in mind, I would like to propose that the WINE project solicit grants from charitable organizations so that it could hire professional developers to augment its existing resources, specifically in the areas for which special interests could care less. If the Wine project could solicit sufficient funding to hire a few dozen developers for a period of several years, then I think that having WINE become as good as Windows would enter the realm of possibility. I know that many people will laugh at my suggestion (especially when they read the organization I suggest that the WINE project contact), but as far as I can tell, the WINE project has not solicited grants to be able to hire professional developers and I think that failing to solicit such grants places a handicap on the WINE project. There exist charitable organizations that seek to fund solutions to "global problems that are ignored by governments and other organizations" (as stated in Wikipedia). Because enabling Windows programs to run on free UNIX operating systems would reduce the cost of computing for all people, including those in third world countries, I am certain that such organizations that would be willing to fund WINE, provided that the WINE project inform them of its existence. The specific organization from which I think that the WINE project should attempt to solicit grant money is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In consideration of their guiding principles and the fact that they must spend $1.5 billion a year, it seems only logical to me that they would provide funding for the WINE project if asked: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/Pages/guiding-principles.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundation#Activities The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is not the only organization for which the WINE project could solicit funding, but I think that it is a good place to start. Please consider the possibility of soliciting grants so that the WINE project could hire professional developers. Also, I am not registered on the mailing list, so please CC me any responses made either directly or indirectly to this email, even if it ridicules my suggestion. Yours truly, Richard Yao
