While we're saying thanks, another thing that works is...

... the Neverwinter Nights Toolset. Amazingly enough, after I had followed a whole lot of very complex instructions in order to download and compile some half-ancient version of WineX (3.3.2), patch it to nwwine (which is the common name of the patched version that is supposed to get the toolset working; it's in Portage and everything), and add Registry entries and native dlls, it turned out that the toolset ran 'perfectly well' under regular old Wine 20050211 (and in fact not very well under nwwine; couldn't use the menus, etc.). My wine is all hacked together atm, so I'll have to do a clean install to see if it needs anything special other than a couple of native dlls (that it might not need, but I had installed them to the program folder for nwwine) before attempting to add it to the appdb, but it definitely works. I've added custom content to all 7 of the Original Campaign modules using it (and the game is using the content properly, so it's correctly added). Oh, and by the way, thanks for the fix of the titlebars; it's really really nice to have the same window decorations in Wine programs as on the rest of the desktop. Just noticed it today (can't believe I didn't before) and wanted to let you know I appreciate it. Holly

WineConf agenda ideas
by Brian Vincent Feb. 25, 2005

Feb. 25, 2005

Over the the past week or so I've harassed some folks about the agenda for WineConf. At this point there's a lot that remains to be filled in, but I need some feedback. Also, I need more ideas for presentations. Does anyone want to present something? It'd be great if someone would volunteer. I think what we're shooting for is a presentation followed by discussion all contained within about one hour. In total we'll have 10 - 12 different topics. Here's the items that are definitely going to be on the agenda: WRS intro Keynote - Alexandre Road to .9 and 1.0 - Dimi ReactOS update - all the ReactOS guys Wine / networking / Samba issues - Juan Lang We've also got some other items, but I need feedback as to whether any of you find this stuff interesting. (So reply and tell me if any of these items sound interesting.) Windows authentication - Andrew Bartlett (um.. haven't asked him yet though) Something else Samba related? - Samba guys Commercial port of a Winelib app and using Wine - an enterprise user CXTest and regression testing - someone from CodeWeavers Version control - Mike Hearn wearing a fire retardant suit DCOM work - Mike or Rob DirectX update - ? Also, if you need to make hotel reservations, there's just a few weeks left to do that. Check out the WineConf page for details: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf As people begin to figure out travel plans, the wineconf mailing list will pick up. How to join: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf Let me know if you have any questions. -Brian

Re: [winecfg] Drive autodetection

Paul van Schayck wrote: > Changelog: > As last option for drive type detection we try the device node name. Looks good but please try and use the same code style as in the rest of the program. In particular note that winecfg doesn't use Hungarian notation anywhere, eg "szNode" would just be "node" or "nodename". thanks -mike

Re: wsock32 conformance test

Hey guys, nice work. Minor comments below: > +/* we often pass this size by reference */ > +int sizeofSOCKADDR_IN = sizeof(SOCKADDR_IN); When you pass it by reference, you don't reinitialize it after a call that might modify it, e.g. here: > + /* get port number */ > + getsockname(*sock, (SOCKADDR *) &tmpAddr, &sizeofSOCKADDR_IN); I think it'd be safer to declare a local int initialized to sizeof(SOCKADDR_IN) and pass this by ref instead. > + for (connIndex = 0; connIndex < NUM_CLIENTS; connIndex++) { > + /* accept connection */ > + tmpSock = accept(*sock, (SOCKADDR *) &tmpSockAddr, &sizeofSOCKADDR_IN); Your indenting's off here. (Do you have to use tabs? Ick.) > + connection->serverThread.Handle = CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) &BlockingServerConnection_Run, connection, 0, &connection->serverThread.ID); Please wrap long lines. > + const int numTests = 3; Might as well make that static too.

Hello, I would like to test a wine dll I'm working on on windows. Could you please tell me how the wine dlls are build for windows ? (Or beat me to the the place where it is documented.) Thanks, -- Michael Jung mjung(a)iss.tu-darmstadt.de

Re: working installshield?

If you want to implement this yourself, I can give you details on how to do this. I will get around to this eventually, but at the moment I have other priorities. If the worst happens and InstallShield is still not working, then you can still ship the December ole32 with the most recent Wine. Rob

WINE: Rendering in Diamond2.x works :-)
by Tobias Burnus Feb. 25, 2005

Feb. 25, 2005

Hello, I'd like to thank the Winegrowers for providing such a nice flavoured Wine. With the current version, the program Diamond is even able to render the output (at least if one turns off the double buffering): w/o rendering: http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/wine/diamond2.png w/ rendering: http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/wine/diamond_rend.png (somehow the menu/tool/status bars are not correctly redrawn and the rendering seems to be too low by the height of a toolbar, but rendering works :-) and hitting Shift-Ctrl-N now works as well (thanks to Dimitry!).
