Yeah, I think an alternative to SIOCGIFCONF might be the thing. Wait. This works better than getifaddrs. It successfully returns info for "down" devices on my RH8 based linux box, with my creaky old wine-20050419. get_ifaddrs makes the same calls that you were, in its implementation. So it has the same problem. But it's alot easier to program with than the ioctl you used. You made comments in the source about if_indextoname having issues. So perhaps this patch won't be useful to you. But it works for us, so I'll apply it to our wine sources unless/until something better comes along. Have at it! Cheers... mo

commdlg patch
by Turkin, Andrey Jan. 25, 2006

Jan. 25, 2006

Hi! Here is quick&dirty (TM :) patch (against wine-0.9.6) that changes explorer-like Open/Save file dialogs to be more 3.11-like dialog/Windows compatible: 1) set view window control id to 1121 2) set inner list window control id to 1 instead of 2000 (anyone know why 2000 was chosen?) This patch is really not very good because of my 1) implementation, but it fixes Macromedia Director cast import! I've done 1) by placing SetWindowLong(hwndView,GWLP_ID, lst2) after each IShellBrowser_BrowseObject call. Better approach is to set view vindow's control id inside of IShellBrowser_BrowseObject but I don't sure if it safe.

Does that happen in wined3d as well? If so, it's probably usefull to fix wined3d as well, considering the idea is to make d3d8 use wined3d eventually.

Problems with references to drive Z: in registry's User Shell Folders
by Michael Jung Jan. 25, 2006

Jan. 25, 2006

Hi, when shell32.dll is registered during wineprefixcreate, it puts a lot of paths based on Z:\ in HKLM/HKCU Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\User Shell Folders. This is due to resolving CIDL_PERSONAL to the DOS path corresponding to $HOME. If people remove the Z: drive afterwards, this leads to a lot problems (One being that the Desktop shellfolder won't initialize any more, which breaks the complete shell namespace and thus the file dialogs). I'm proposing to add two more environment variables: %PERSONAL%, which would be expanded to the DOS path corresponding to $HOME if this exists, or to %USERPROFILE%\\My Documents if not (with "My Documents" resource based, of course). And %DESKTOP%, which would be expanded to DOS_PATH_OF($HOME)\\Desktop if existent and to %USERPROFILE%\\Desktop, if not. Does someone see a problem with this approach?

Re: [Fwd: WineTools is in need of some major house cleaning!]
by Joachim von Thadden Jan. 25, 2006

Jan. 25, 2006

Dear developers and all others reading this list, from Sven Paschukat I was informed about the discussion of removing the WineTools link from the winehq website. I read all remarks made to that hotly discussed topic and I am willing to tell you all a bit about the purpose and history of WineTools as well as I will answer the questions made by Tom Wickline. So this will be a little longish mail and I beg your pardon for that and hope you have enough patience to read it all. To start from the beginning, I took over the remainings of a project winetools initially started by Frank Hendriksen <frank(a)frankscorner.org> which was somehow orphaned. The very reason I did that was that in autumn 2004 I had to write an article in the well known German computer magazine c't. After fiddling with wine for a long time only to install a stable IE6 or Office, I found that it was so absolute complicated to describe all the steps needed only to install the IE6 (which is much better now) and that also following these steps was very erroneous, that I started to rewrite the winetools script for the readers of this article. I never meant it to become so famous and wide spread, but the download statistics after only two month showed me that there was a massive demand for such a tool. So this is how it started and it shows very clearly that it was always an installer to make certain important applications easily usable under Linux. It was never meant for testing or developing. It was always meant for the end user being able to use his software. At the time of the first releases it was almost impossible to install or work with many applications without using native DCOM and/or many of the builtin DLLs that come with the IE6. To find a configuration for as many apps as possible was one of the goals. Not to force users (with very low skills) to have many different wine installations *and* many wine user directories was a second goal. So this is the reason why, until now, everything in WineTools is based on this native M$ software (DCOM, IE6). And believe me, no one would be more happy to wipe this DCOM, IE6 and MSI stuff completely from his harddisk than me! So as so many programs rely on parts of M$ software (MFC, VB and MDAC are other important examples) and because to install and use this software leads to so many restrictions in the wine usage, I had to pin wine to the emulation of Win98 and also had to massively tamper around with DLLOverrides. The goal was to built up an environment, that can install and use as many Windows programs as possible. This did in no way regard to the fact that it is not very helpful for the wine developers. It was just a practical decision. >From time to time, Sven Paschukat and me are testing wine versions to figure out, whether we can skip some of the M$ stuff. We have not been very successful with that until now, so this is why there are so many remainings of the first start of the project in the concept. But again: This tool is for the average windows user. And believe me, I tested this with my brothers, who are just normal users. And they never ever got a piece of windows software running with wine without my heavy intervention. With WineTools they just need to click on some buttons and got their software downloaded, installed and configured. With an amount of many thousand downloads a month, not calculating the distribution inclusions of WineTools, I get almost the same number of direct mails about problems with the software as are coming into the list. And I get massive positive resonance from users who were for a long time trying to get their stuff running with plain wine and are now happy that it just works with WineTools. I must admit, that there raise problems out of the fact, that the same users are trying to install not WineTools-tested software with the setup of WineTools and coming then to the list. And your are right that this is an undebuggable situation. The only way around that is to smoothly migrate WineTools to more and more builtin features as long as this does not make the programs uninstallable or unusable. > Betreff: WineTools is in need of some major house cleaning! > Datum: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 03:31:43 -0500 > Von: Tom Wickline <twickline(a)gmail.com> > An: wine-devel <wine-devel(a)winehq.org> > > Hello Everyone, > > Anyone who reads the posting on this list already knows that I stood up for > the wineTools project and almost made a couple enemies...

Sven Paschukat suggested to implement a mode for WineTools to install without native components and without that tampering in the registry. This allows automatic installations *and* insight for developers if something goes wrong. We can also add a debugging mode to enable the logging of wines debug channels, to make a mailable report of bugs. Also the other suggested corrections will be looked over and changed if applicable. > 2) On sourceforge there are still downloads of version 1.30 from > December 3, 2003 why is this? and do you plan to cancel this project > or at least update it? > sourceforge site: > http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61341 > > 3 )Freshmeat list WineTools latest version at 2.1.0 and last updated 1 > year, 4 months ago > do you plan to update this site and list new versions as there released? > http://freshmeat.net/projects/winetools/?branch_id=51159&release_id=164227 I personally had never anything to do with these versions. The one on Sourceforge is Frank Hendriksen's. He was already contacted by Sven Paschukat to remove the project, but Sourceforge does not allow to remove projects. So instead he already pointed a link to the official WineTools site. I don't see what we can do more here. The one on Freshmeat was taken over and is maintained by Sven Paschukat. Also Freshmeat does not allow the removal of projects. But Sven will update the versions there and we will try to keep it uptodate. We might also move the whole download section to Freshmeat to unburden my download server. > 4) Could the maintainers of WineTools help new users in #winehq on > irc? or start a new channel #wine-tools (or something to that effect) > and help WineTools users? Can you list either the #winehq channel or a > new channel on your site and ask experienced users to help new users? I am very astonished about this request. If you look through the mailing list you will find, that Sven and me are already giving support on the wine-users mailing list. That we will not and can not maintain a channel should be clear as we are not earning our money by looking at channels. Also the demand by Vitaly to provide rapid fixes to requests on such a channel or the list is something that can be only meant as a joke!!! If Vitaly is a man of independent means it is nice for him but we are a free time project and can only work for WineTools, as the name suggests, in our *free* time. And we have also a family, friends, mistresses and other hobbies... > I am not trying to be critical..... I hope winehq keeps the link to > your project but you guys may need help more on winehq, and also keep > information sites more up to date for this to take place. and also > look in to Vitaliy's concerns. Well, we also do not like winehq to remove the project's link. As for the support I already wrote a line above about that. Note that there is a massive amount of users using Wine via WineTools. Almost all users coming from Windows are using this software if they like to use their programs. This might lead to more and more end user questions on the list. As a possible solution for that, if you think this gets the upper hand, I would suggest to have a new mailing list wine-winetools and to redirect all users to that one. We will propagate then this list in the readmes and on the WineTools sites. And for sure we will sit on this list like spiders lurking for our prey... At least I want to thank all wine developers for their absolute fantastic work! In my opinion this is one of the most interesting and most ambitious projects in the community of open source software. And it really works astonishingly good. Regards Joachim von Thadden -- "Never touch a running system! Never run a touching system? Never run a touchy system!!!"

Should the AppDB make public the number of unique page views each app gets?
by Scott Ritchie Jan. 25, 2006

Jan. 25, 2006

This was an idea we discussed in IRC for a short bit, and I think it would be good to bring it up here. Essentially, if the AppDB displayed the number of page views each app got it would go a long way towards estimating the demand for particular applications, whether they work or not. It seems fair to say that someone looking an app up in the AppDB either wants to run it in Wine or wants to know if it's doable should he switch to Wine. Coincidentally, this also helps solve the voting problem - since votes for gold apps are supposed to be replaced with votes for apps that work should be done on, we now have a mechanism to sort the Gold list other than by votes. Sorting the gold list by page views would also greatly help navigation from the front page of the AppDB, as it would place the most popular applications at the top. Then again, maybe there's something I've overlooked. Thoughts? -Scott Ritchie
