Hi all, Wine is ronning just fine, and our program.exe is working, I just want to know if it is possible to create a shorcut of our program on our desktop so that a end user will just click the icon on the desktop to run the program.exe without typing on th text command "wine program.exe". TYIA! Jerry

Re: TlsAlloc limitation in winxp mode
by Jon Griffiths March 18, 2005

Hi Michael, > With the emulation mode set to "winxp" I can only TlsAlloc 64 > indexes, even though the MSDN docs say there should be at least > 20 million. You're misreading that page, the limits are: Win 2000/2003 & XP - 1088 indexes per process Win Me/98 - 80 indexes per process Win NT and 95 - 64 indexes per process So it seems that Me/98 add 16 on top of the original 64 limit, while from Win2k onwards another 1024 indices were added. You can almost certainly work around this if you have the source for the app you are trying to run, unless your app has more than 64 threads running at once. Just take all of the per-thread data you need and stick it into a structure, store only the pointer to that for each thread (1 slot). This adds a layer of indirection but means you are limited only by the heap, provided you don't have more than 64 threads. See dlls/msvcrt/thread.c for an implementation example.

On your Linux desktop, create a launcher with the "wine program.exe" command (there should be a field for such a thing). Also, for general Wine usage, wine-users(a)winehq.org might be better suited for your needs. :) Hiji __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: OLE32: Allow STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE for nameless storage files
by Mike McCormack March 18, 2005

March 18, 2005

Actually, I think the test is just the wrong way round. It should read if (STGM_SHARE_MODE(grfMode) != STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE) I screwed it up in the following commit: http://cvs.winehq.org/cvsweb/wine/dlls/ole32/storage32.c.diff?r1=1.71&r2=1.… Mike Troy Rollo wrote: > StgOpenStorage was failing if pwcsName was NULL and the share flags were > STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE.

It's in the .NET 2003 MSDN Library documentation, section "Windows Development", subsection "Device Drivers", somewhere in the still image stuff (I can send you a PDF of it, it's around 30 MB). IStiUSD and IStiDeviceControl are probably part of the Windows DDK (Device Driver Kit), and that you get separately from Microsoft (for a ridiculous price). I'll see if I can get it from the ReactOS people. Does anyone else on this mailing list have the Windows DDK around and a spare stiusd.h they want to share? > Mike Damjan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

WineConf: book your hotel now
by Brian Vincent March 17, 2005

March 17, 2005

I'm just sending this out as a reminder for everyone to book your hotel room for WineConf. For more information, check out: 1. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf 2. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf/travel The last day to reserve a room is tomorrow - March 17th. There's no guarantee rooms will be available after that, and I don't have any indication the hotel will allow reservations after that. If you haven't looked at the details, it's a great deal - 81EUR for Friday and Saturday night and it includes breakfast in the morning. If you're thinking to yourself, "I'd like to go to Wineconf, but I don't think I'm cool enough." Well, you should try to attend. You'll probably really enjoy it. PS - still looking for ideas for the agenda, if you have any, let me know. Also let me know if you'd like to present something. -Brian

Suggestion for a couple of additional janitorial projects
by Dmitry Timoshkov March 17, 2005

March 17, 2005

Hi all, I'd like to suggest to add the following janitorial projects for Wine: 1. Fix Wine to be compilable by a 64-bit compiler a) before accomplishing this task read a good article about porting Win32 code to Win64. b) inspect and fix all public Win32 headers to match PSDK definitions. c) make sure that pointers do not get truncated. d) add support for Win64. 2. Fix wrong assumptions in Wine about endianess. a) inspect all Wine code and public headers to eliminate endianess dependent constructs (low/high parts of a field, bit fileds), add WORDS_BIGENDIAN when appropriate. b) make sure that Wine code handles data in an endianess independent way. -- Dmitry.
