TestBot News: Missing dlls and VM updates
by Francois Gouget March 19, 2023

March 19, 2023

I reviewed the tests that are skipped because the dll is missing on Windows and I found 4 tests that are never run on Windows which makes them a bit pointless: * d3dcompiler_46 I can install version 43 and 47 from dxwebsetup.exe without trouble. But d3dcompiler_46.dll? No idea. * d3drm Is this a deprecated Direct 3D 8 dll? dxwebsetup.exe does not install it. * msvcr70 As far as I know this dll is part of the Visual Studio 7.0 runtime. But that runtime is nowhere to be found. * msvcrtd The test look like they succeed on test.winehq.org but in fact all they do is skip the tests: debug.c:45: Tests skipped: LoadLibraryA failed to load msvcrtd.dll with GLE=126 (where 126 == ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND) That's the debug version of the Visual C++ C library. As such it's not shipped by the runtime redistributables. Also, which C runtime does it correspond to? (iirc it was already there in the 90s) Note: I'd rather not download these dlls from the many 'not.trojan.horse.dlls.trust.me.com' websites. VM updates: * debiant The gst-plugins-base1.0-dev maintainer intentionally removed multi-arch support in version 1.20.3-2. As a result GStreamer support went missing in 32-bit builds when Wine's detection code was tweaked recently, which in turn caused a lot of new failures (bug 53977). So I hacked multi-arch support back in and the 32-bit tests are back to normal. Another point is that updating the X11 / Mesa packages causes the X server to crash during the Direct 3D tests. So for now that VM is frozen in time. That's all worrying for the future Debian 12. * w11pro64 I added a bunch of Visual Studio C runtime dlls, including msvcr71 which I got through the .Net 1.1 framework. I also added a number of Direct 3D dlls that don't ship with Windows by default. * w1064v1709 It seems this snapshot was not entirely idle so I retook it after Windows Update finished installing the already downloaded updates (see bug 54158). This does not seem to have made much of a difference :-( (particularly for bug 53227) * w1064v1909 Windows Defender was not disabled and was intefering with the tests from time to time. That's because 1909 is the first Windows version where Defender cannot be disabled and where I have to exclude the WineTest folder instead. This is fixed now. * w1064v2004 This snapshot also had some trouble with Windows Update not being idle so I retook it. This does not seem to have made much of a difference either :-( -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)codeweavers.com>

Upcoming vkd3d 1.7 release
by Henri Verbeet Feb. 24, 2023

Feb. 24, 2023

Hi all, The tentative release date for vkd3d 1.7 is March 22, in slightly under 4 weeks. Please test your applications for any regressions, review any API changes since vkd3d 1.6, and so on. While starting today it will become increasingly harder to make major code changes until the release, improvements to the API documentation and tests are welcome as always. For vkd3d 1.8, the release following 1.7, we're currently aiming for a date in late June. Regards, Henri

Wine staging 8.2 release
by Alistair Leslie-Hughes Feb. 18, 2023

Feb. 18, 2023

Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: https://www.winehq.org/download Summary since last release * Rebased to current wine 8.2 (531 patches are applied to wine vanilla) The patchinstall.sh script is no longer available and users should use the staging/patchinstall.py instead. For those that wanted to use ODBC in windows applications, this is the release for you. For those using ADO to connect to a dababase via ODBC, you will still need to use the native version of msado15 and msdasql. Through some of the bugs have been identified and fixed in this wine release there is still more work to be done. Some cavets on the ODBC support * Only the Unicode drivers for MySql/PostgreSQL were tested. * Not all functions have been mapped, so lodge a bug if something is missing. Developers. If anybody has time to have a look over or reivew the patchset, that would be great. Don't be scared of the 43 patches, most of them are calls into the loaded driver (boiler plate stuff). Users. If you are a user of unixODBC with wine, it would be great if you could post on bug 54499, the database used or if you prefer to use the standard windows driver. Known issues. * Using SQLDriverConnectW to connect to an ANSI ODBC driver will fail (works on windows). * The Driver DLL is possible loaded multiple times (Should have map of driver/function table). Upstreamed (Either directly from staging or fixed with a similar patch). * None Added: * [52233] Black NPC's skin or minor rendering glitches in multiple games (Batman: Arkham Knight, Steel Division: Normandy 44) * [48220] dxruby needs WAVE form loading implemented * [45135] Black Rockman Shooter has no sound, implementation missing in dmime * [34751] Aura: Fate of the Ages: sounds aren't played, but music works fine * [9027] No sound for rise of nations - all versions * [54499] Native ODBC drivers should be able be used. Updated: * Install scripts updated to Python 3 * winex11-Fixed-scancodes (was winex11-key_translation) * ntdll-NtDevicePath * ntdll-Junction_Points Where can you help * Run Steam/Battle.net/GOG/UPlay/Epic * Test your favorite game. * Test your favorite applications. * Improve staging patches and get them accepted upstream. * Suggest patches to be included in staging. As always, if you find a bug, please report it via https://bugs.winehq.org Best Regards Alistair.

How do I package the output of wine as a deb file?
by zhengxianwei Feb. 18, 2023

Feb. 18, 2023

I've compiled wine on a 64-core machine, and I want to package it up and send it to another machine for installation. I checked 2 pages, but still not sure how to do this https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine https://wiki.winehq.org/Packaging

Debugging channel weirdness
by Zebediah Figura Feb. 13, 2023

Feb. 13, 2023

Hi all, I was running into some odd behaviour while debugging—specifically, I found that specifying the d3d channel in WINEDEBUG was cutting my performance in half, even when disabling logging, and even when it should have been functionally identical to a run without the d3d channel specified. I was able to "fix" this inconsistency with this diff: diff --git a/dlls/ntdll/thread.c b/dlls/ntdll/thread.c index 1bd8f900d22..f0e4b824918 100644 --- a/dlls/ntdll/thread.c +++ b/dlls/ntdll/thread.c @@ -103,7 +103,11 @@ unsigned char __cdecl __wine_dbg_get_channel_flags( struct __wine_debug_channel { pos = (min + max) / 2; res = strcmp( channel->name, debug_options[pos].name ); - if (!res) return debug_options[pos].flags; + if (!res) + { + if (channel->flags & (1 << __WINE_DBCL_INIT)) channel->flags = debug_options[pos].flags; + return debug_options[pos].flags; + } if (res < 0) max = pos - 1; else min = pos + 1; } Which makes sense to some degree, but leaves three questions unanswered, which I was hoping someone might be able to cluebat me on: (1) Why does setting channel->flags affect performance at all? I'm thoroughly baffled by this one. (2) Why was this diff not applied in the first place? (Simple oversight?) (3) Why does __WINE_DBCL_INIT even exist, if its only purpose is to guard out a single assignment? --Zeb

Hangover Update
by André Zwing Feb. 11, 2023

Feb. 11, 2023

Hi, As you might know, Hangover development stalled years ago waiting for the WoW64 support in Wine to complete. With Wine 8.0 (and even better with Jaceks wow branch) this is now done. In October I started to connect Qemu to that WoW64 support in my spare time and it progressed until I finally was able to publish some of that work today. It's still missing instructions and even some patches, but it should give a good introduction on what this will look like. In fact I started to get wowarmhw running, so I could do the first steps on a x86-64 machine to run ARM32 binaries. But exactly this part is missing for now as things changed since then. So in case I made you curious, here's the code :) https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover

Compiling issues on macOS after 7.20 on ARM
by Jason Millard Feb. 10, 2023

Feb. 10, 2023

Hello. I’m using parts of Wine (specifically the vbscript engine) while porting Visual Pinball to be cross platform. I have been using the WIDL utility extensively and it has worked great. I wanted to keep my patches up to date so I don’t fall behind, however I am having issues compiling wine after version 7.20. This was my typical compile: brew install llvm llvm-mingw git clone -b wine-7.20 git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git git clone git(a)github.com:vpinball/pinmame.git cd wine export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.14" export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/X11/lib" export PATH="$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin:$PATH" export PATH="$(brew --prefix bison)/bin:$PATH" ./configure --without-freetype make -j10 tools/widl/widl -o ../vpinmame_i.h --nostdinc -Ldlls/\* -Iinclude -D__WINESRC__ -D_UCRT ../pinmame/src/win32com/VPinMAME.idl Now with anything past 7.20 I’m getting: configure: error: PE cross-compilation is required for ARM64, please install clang/llvm-dlltool/lld, or llvm-mingw. Is there anyway to disable this? Thanks Jason
