Was the cause (and a proper fix) ever found for this problem other than commenting out the necessary line? The reporter of that bug was going to do a regression test, and the Jan release was the last official release that worked, so of course this problem affected him until he found that mail. I assume so since we havent gotten any more reports of this, but I want to make sure, and find out when the problem was fixed. Dustin

So even without a z: symlink, the z: drive will appear and contains the files in /. This is an extension by itself, but I think it's better than enabling users to input unix paths in dialog boxes.

Regression in Half life
by Stefan Dösinger May 6, 2005

May 6, 2005

Hello, These two patches cause a regression in Half-Life (Version 1.1.1.0): (1)http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2005/04/0307.html (2)http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2005/04/0308.html Half-life reports "ChoosePixelFormat failed", followed by "The Selected OpenGL mode is not supported by your card" when starting the engine. Wine prints the following error: err:opengl:X11DRV_ChoosePixelFormat glXChooseFBConfig returns NULL (glError: 0) Reversing the above 2 patches fixes the problem. Reversing patch 1 only causes a crash, if I reverse only patch 2 the problem still exists.

Google Web Accelerator
by Matthew Mastracci May 6, 2005

May 6, 2005

To indulge my habit of trying the newest Google software releases under Wine, I decided to give the new Google Web Accelerator a shot with the latest CVS. The first issue that I ran into (patches sent to wine-devel!) was the lack of StgCreateStorageEx and StgOpenStorageEx. This seems to be used by Google to store their extra web cache data. Once I replaced the stubs with proper functions, the application started up and started caching data. From what I can tell, it even contacts the Google server for the compressed updates. It doesn't seem to "save time" in any way - I think this might have something to do with the inefficiency within the structured storage implementation (100% CPU for a short period of time as you request pages). My theory is that the application picks the request that returns first - Google's optimized version or the web page's response. It seems to die after a few minutes of browsing with what appears to be an async IO error. The strange thing is that the error code looks like a memory location rather than a winsock error: fixme:winsock:NtStatusToWSAError Status code 77ce16c0 converted to DOS error code 77ce16c0 fixme:winsock:WS2_async_send status: c0000120 [matthew(a)epsilon temp]$ cd /tmp/wine/dlls/winsock I tried to trace through what happens in an asynchronous send operation, but I couldn't figure out how the status of the response was translated back to the "->Internal" field of the OVERLAPPED structure. Any hints? Thanks, Matt.

New program: getsffile
by Vincent Béron May 6, 2005

May 6, 2005

Sent to wine-devel to get feedback on initial idea and implementation. New program in programs/getsffile (Get Sourceforge File). It downloads a file from Sourceforge download section, finding a suitable mirror by itself. This should solve part of the mirroring problem we have for the Mozilla ActiveX control, to make it easy to install on demand, and can most probably be used by other similar things as well. You can also specify a preferred mirror in the registry (Software\\Wine\\getsffile, key SFPreferredMirror. If the file is not available from that mirror (mirror down, not yet synced, etc.), it'll try another one (up to 3 times). The list of mirrors is got from sf.net, it's not maintained in getsffile. Basically, to use it to get the Mozilla ActiveX control, what needs to be done is to actually put the control on sf (along with a zip containing 2 needed dlls, one of them is msvcp60.dll), and change the download logic in shdocvw to call getsffile for both files rather than do the download itself. The installation part is almost the same (it'd be nice if the zip would be installed at the same time, even nicer if it wouldn't be needed but that's Mozilla's part). Note that it's still not 100% proof, some mirrors give a 404 back and it's not properly detected. Is it possible to detect such things while using URLDownloadToFile? The whole dialog is ripped from shdocvw (Mike McCormack's work), the rest is my own development. Vincent

Re: Commercial support

>Rather than set threshholds on capacity, there might be a tiered >arrangement >whereby anybody can get a class D listing for nothing. Class C, B and >A >listings would cost $200, $1000, and $10000. The page would then be >ranked by >listing class, and within listing class by geography. How do you want to determine the different classes. If I pay 10.000$ I get listed on the Premium list? Or is it more that If I have more employees working on wine i pay more for being a official supporter? I am not sure if this is what the winhq should aim at. On the market it could work I do not know because I do not know how great the exsisting demand is. But we should be careful with lists. Every list is a official recommandation. And the wine Project should take care that these People do honestly contribute to wine. A general fee for all is better IMHO. We could make a fee 0f 200$ link the List to a profile where the Companies stats is listed. There we could make a Rubrik like the Company donated over X $ to the project. That would state the closeness and the support. You move up in the list if you collect enough points by producing code, patches and donation. Wich you can check on the profile. How bout that? >3) a link back to winehq.org from there site and not twenty pages into >there site. We could make a Button like Offical Wine support for the Commercial supporter. This button can be placed on the homepage. >7) if a banned party wants re-instatement they must pay a fine of >$25,000 and post a written apology to the community for there actions. It would be better if a official Wine Support Company signs a contract where it agrees to an penalty payment if violating the contract. The violation fee could be differ to the severity of the violation. This sounds serious to me. Because this is a two way road. We promise the company to treat them right and they ensure us to be honest on the project. Of course a contract is a bit more demanding then the simple list but they become the OFFICIAL Partner for wine. I think that is more worth then a fee. Greetings Peter

I welcome all > feedback. Another good example is from the UI point of view where you don't want users to have to deal with drive letters in a Unix env. Using winelib it would be possible to directly call GTK/GDK or KDE and use browse dialogs. Of course some work seems to be going on to add support for this directly to shell32 so someone else might know suggest a better way. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo!
