Re: dlls: Move the call to MODULE_DllThreadAttach from kernel32 code to NTDLL code

The problem with this is that the call is no longer inside the exception handler, so it would prevent debugging crashes that happen during thread attach. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Correct, wine will compile and run without a lot of features and never warn you that they don't exist. See this wiki page for an example of what your include/config.h file should probably look like: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages I just added the Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu Dapper sections yesterday, and I believe that they are at least 95% accurate, although I might have missed one somewhere. If someone can add the package names required for a gentoo build (or possibly create and maintain wine-cvs packages with all of the necessary deps???), it would probably help out many users trying to compile from source.

ddraw design flaw
by Tomas Carnecky March 12, 2006

March 12, 2006

I have found a design flaw in ddraw and described it in my 'World of Warcraft 0.10 Public Test Real (PTR)' thread. Why has nobody adressed this issue? In my eyes it is a severe design flaw if an application can't unload ddraw.dll without side effects (especially if this side-effect is that all opengl/directx applications are unusable after that). So please, will someone explain me why nobody wants to fix this? It's nothing bad now, but if WoW still loads Survey.dll (and thus ddraw.dll) in the final public release many people will demand a fix. Very few people play on the PTR, but there are quite a lot who play WoW under wine.. and they will not be happy if they can't play anymore. tom

IMO what people are currently posting in bugzilla do not require such recommendations. Rein.

My guess why Munich doesn't like Wine
by Dan Kegel March 12, 2006

March 12, 2006

After poking at the apps they tested with, the conclusion is: they wanted something that could run Access and Oracle client apps, and Wine just wasn't there yet. It still isn't, judging by my quick tests. Given that the world kind of treats this as a must, perhaps it could be added as a criterion for a 1.0 release. Say, where's the existing page describing our release criteria? - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Oracle Express Client under Wine - install fails in advapi.CreateService
by Dan Kegel March 12, 2006

March 12, 2006

At the risk of posting too much information, here's another roadblock faced by an important potential user. keeptool.com's hora.exe (one of the apps needed by the european government desktop migration) is an Oracle DBA helper tool, and testing it means connecting to an Oracle database. That means, I think, installing the Oracle client library under Wine. Sadly, this fails during install; the installer claims that advapi.CreateService is crashing. ( See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4802 ) Somebody with a little free time could probably learn more by adding more trace statements in CreateService. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

spss can't even install...
by Dan Kegel March 12, 2006

March 12, 2006

I heard that SPSS was one of the apps governments like (so they crunch statistics -- who knew? :-), so I tried running the free eval. It wouldn't even install. The problems were already described in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4700 Looks like an msi problem, but there might be something more general wrong; all wine apps hang for about twenty seconds at a certain point during the install, which is pretty strange. - Dan p.s. one downside of using wine to run firefox as your main browser is it's a bit more dangerous to do the rm -rf ~/.wine needed to do a really clean install of a test app :-) so this test was done with a fairly cluttered fake wine directory. But it seems to match the results in the PR. -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

"IE5 or higher required". Grr.
by Dan Kegel March 11, 2006

March 11, 2006

I heard KeepTool was an app used by some government developers, so I tried installing the free trial from http://keeptool.com. Sadly, the installer complained I needed IE5 or later. The registry key trick I've been using, [Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer] "Version"="6.0.2900.2180" didn't seem to do the trick this time. Any suggestions on how to get past that? Thanks, Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv
