Debugging Win32 apps on linux
by J March 27, 2026

March 27, 2026

Hi, Using Mingw64, I can build a c/c++ Win32 application, but can I debug it? using winedbg application.exe does seem to work, but is there a way of doing it like I would debug a linux application? I can build a c/c++ application with gcc, and then debug it by using ddd application And that works really well. Is there a way to get ddd (or some other program) to act as winedbg's frontend? Even if it's text-mode, that's fine, as long as it's easier to use than gdb Thanks

Mailing Lists Have Moved (Again)
by Jeremy Newman March 24, 2026

March 24, 2026

We have moved our Mailman3 mailing lists to a new server. Yes... again. Sorry, but the last provider wasn't working out as intended. This does mean that the subscription lists have been reset. You will still be subscribed, but if you had your email configured to be in digest mode, or set other settings, you will need to login and create a new account and set that up again. If you are simply subscribed with default settings, you shouldn't need to do anything. It will work as before. The email addresses and list headers will remain the same. Also, since the lists are mailing from a new IP address that we are still warming up, your provider may flag as spam. I haven't seen this, but it is worth mentioning. Lastly, we are still importing the email archives. It will take a bit to process, but the messages will be restored in time. If you have any questions or comments let us know. Again, sorry for the hassle. Links and information about our mailing lis ts are here: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Forums

Is anyone working on dxgi/dcomp - specifically CreateSwapChainForComposition?
by imichaelost＠gmail.com March 24, 2026

March 24, 2026

Hi, In the process of supporting third party windows DLLs in wine, I'm coming up against several that are blocked on the FIXME for CreateSwapChainForComposition. Their graphics rendering doesn't work - draws blank white - as a result. Rendering happens via a complex interaction between a number of different calls. So I imagine it would be a heavy lift to implement. But I thought it might be used in gaming apps, so there might be some work going on to implement it. Any thoughts or news on these APIs? Thanks, /Michael Ost PS: The unimplemented flow is: - DXGI — creates and presents the swapchain (CreateSwapChainForComposition, Present) - DComp — composites it into the window (CreateTargetForHwnd, SetContent, Commit)

[PATCH] comctl32/tooltips: Prevent tooltip from reappearing immediately after a click.
by Ivan Georgiev March 17, 2026

March 17, 2026

When a mouse button is clicked while hovering over a tool, Windows hides the tooltip and suppresses it from reappearing until the cursor leaves the tool and re-enters it. Previously Wine would restart ID_TIMERSHOW on subsequent mouse moves over the same tool, causing the tooltip to pop up again immediately. Fix this by introducing a bClickCancelled flag that is set whenever any mouse button is pressed over an active tool, and cleared only when the cursor moves to a different tool. Also kill ID_TIMERSHOW in TOOLTIPS_Hide to prevent a pending show timer from firing after the tooltip is dismissed.

Submitting patches to staging
by light gray Feb. 26, 2026

Feb. 26, 2026

Hi! On the condition that I de-anonymize myself, would it be possible for me to submit my patches over at https://github.com/Weather-OS/WineGDK to wine staging? My repository fully complies with Wine's cleanroom guidelines, and more importantly, I *do not, and under no circumstances,* use AI generated code to implement API functionality. I solely rely on tests written and compiled within a Windows environment and Microsoft's own documentation. Best Regards.

Wine for GDK apps, to upstream or to not upstream, that is the question.
by oosaka dayo Feb. 25, 2026

Feb. 25, 2026

Recently came across a repo that patches wine with the modules required to run first party GDK apps. Upstreaming it would be a huge gain for the gaming space, Minecraft is by far the biggest game on the planet, and most of the user base is on BE/PE. I've tried it and the patches work, there's work to be done, none of the online services work yet, but it's way better than any of the alternatives, and has been my goto for McBE. Updating wine every time is a bit of a hassle though, considering how the project doesn't even use wine as a submodule, rather the author manually down streams the changes every oh so much... Re: Upstreaming The current issue is: the developer of the project doesn't wanna upstream it cause of anonymousity, which I understand, but it's a huge miss, considering how this change could also be easily down(up?)streamed to proton and such, where it would really help (McBE on Deck would be the perfect match); So, I'm not sure how to move from here, I'd really like the patches to be upstreamed, but I'm not sure who can do it or how. The code that's been changed is public license, per the author's readme... How do you think it's gonna be approached? Thanks, Dave P.S. Yes currently there is no clean way to obtain the game's decrypted executable, I got mine because of my job, but it's not publicly available yet. Either way, we'll cross that bridge when we get there...
