Diffrent behaviours of wine apps on diffrent distros
by Roland Kaser Feb. 25, 2006

Feb. 25, 2006

Hello As I reported earlier I ascertained some windows apps does have diffrent behaviours on the same wine version but on diffrent linux distros. Its not fully clear to me whats the exact reason of this behaviour. Whouldn't it be a good idea to create some reference installation images (VMWare player or similar) where the application maintainers can test whose applications to have defined sandbox for reporting bugs etc?

OLE32: OpenStorage related question
by Vitaly Lipatov Feb. 25, 2006

Feb. 25, 2006

I try to improve WINE's storage support for compatibility with program. I guess StgOpenStorageOnILockBytes function creates file in temp dir and mapping? ILockBytes contents to it. I can't discover case when StgOpenStorageOnILockBytes has such behaviour. Have anyone some thoughts about the topic? -- Vitaly Lipatov, ALT Linux Team Russia, Saint-Petersburg, www.etersoft.ru

RE: [PATCH] Implement GetCurrentHwProfileA() fully

Ole32 has a function CoCreateGuid, (basically forwarding to rpcrt4.UuidCreate that generates a (pseudo)random GUID. To mimick Windows I would say this should be done at wineinstall (or self-registration of the advapi DLL?). Rolf Kalbermatter

getwinegit.sh 0.2
by Christian Lachner Feb. 25, 2006

Feb. 25, 2006

I decided to make this release a bit more complete than the other ones i did before. Bugfree (i hope ;)) and with readme. current version is 0.2. this is the readme's content: getwinegit.sh-README :: Intro getwinegit is a script which was designed to download/update, compile and install the current wine-git-source-tree. :: Usage Usage: /usr/bin/getwinegit.sh -mode modes: -0 update the local source-tree -1 + compile the source -2 + install -3 no update; just compile the local source-tree and install -h help ;) :: Install Just copy getwinegit.sh wherever you want, make it executable and create a softlink at /usr/bin. Then (or before) configure the script by editing the variables in the head with your favourite editor. (minimum is to set ENABLE="yes") :: Changes 0.2 first stable release. :: Future? Tell me what you need and i will implement it... maybe :D :: Where are you at home? gladiac.onetrix.net :: Bugs? Report them to gladiac at gmail dot com ;) Thanks for reading, bye glad

Debugging
by Rich Gilson Feb. 24, 2006

Feb. 24, 2006

I'm kind of new to the Wine schene. I've dabled in it from time to time; but, seeing the progress it has made I am making a serious effort to get my applications running through Wine rather than VMWare. As such, I'm looking for a little advice on debugging issues when apps don't work (yes, I've read what's on winehq.) I have the application KeePass (keepass.sourceforge.net) which installs just fine. When I go to run it, it just drops me right back to the prompt. With WINEDEBUG, I've tried monitoring the fixme (no results at all), ole, dll, loaddll, system, ntdll, oledlg, olerelay, and rundll32, none of which produced any output that seemed to inducate a problem. I suppose that if Wine sent it a value that it didn't like and they have really good error trapping, the apps could have just shut itself down, but I would think that something must be going wrong somewhere in Wine, but I'm at a loss as to how to find it. I have tried it with the version set to win98 as wekk as win2k and I'm running Wine 0.9.8 (without Winetools), with IE6 installed as per the instructions on appdb.winehq.com. Any advise as to what I can try next or what I should be looking for would be greatly appreciated. -- -- In a world without fences, who needs Gates?

Re: Prepare the unicodification of advpack.dll

Does it matter that native advpack only has Ansi functions? I think we should leave it the way it is, because any application that uses advpack will only know of Ansi API and adding unicode handling adds more complexity and chances for error. -- James Hawkins

WineD3D refcounting fun part II :)
by Roderick Colenbrander Feb. 24, 2006

Feb. 24, 2006

Hi, During the d3d8 -> wined3d transition I noticed one huge refcounting issue which affects both d3d8 and d3d9. The issue is illustrated by running http://www.codesampler.com/source/dx9_multitexture.zip (the same demo is available for dx8) and then modify wined3d's globalChangeGlRam in wined3d_main.c to let it output how it adjusts the memory. If you run the test on d3d9 or using oliver's full d3d8 patch, you'll notice that not all memory is returned when quitting the program. (In 3dmark2001 this is a big issue as because of this we are out of memory after running a few demos) The problem appears that wined3d surfaces contain a reference to the wined3d device. So when you run a game the d3d8 and wined3d device refcounts are out of sync (the wined3d refcount is a lot higher because of all the refcounts from the surfaces). At the moment you quit a game the d3d8 device refcount nicely becomes zero and the object tries to kill itself. The release function also calls the wined3d device release function but the wined3d device object won't kill itself because its refcount doesn't become zero due to all the surfaces which still contain a reference to it. (the surfaces which useally are front-, backbuffers and more are normally released in the wined3d device release call when the refcount becomes zero) One way to 'fix' the problem is to let d3d8/d3d9 handle the reference counts (remove the refcounts from wined3d; and let d3d8/d3d9 call some cleanup function to remove the garbage in case its refcount becomes zero) Does anyone have a better solution?

Palm Desktop conduits through Wine?
by Rich Gilson Feb. 24, 2006

Feb. 24, 2006

Has there every been any luck/attempts at running Palm Desktop conduits through wine? I'd drop Palm Desktop altogether, but I have Documents-To-Go and Passwords Plus, which both only run through Palm Desktop. >From what I can gather from searching around, I'm not going to get Palm Desktop to work on Wine right now, so I'm looking for other alternatives. Thanks. -- -- In a world without fences, who needs Gates?
