Enabling gcov patch not accepted
by Aaron Arvey Nov. 12, 2004

Nov. 12, 2004

Hi, I recently sent in a patch concerning enabling gcov in wine (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/11/0136.html) and it doesn't seem to have been incorporated in the main cvs branch :(. I have never contributed to wine before so I'm not sure how to get feedback on my patch in order to improve it so that it is accepted. If either Alexandre or anyone else believes they know why my patch wasn't accepted, please let me know. I personally have found gcov to be very helpful and I think other developers may find that to be true too. If you would like to know more about gcov, please read the documentation included in my patch (url above). Thank you, Aaron

shreg tests on xp vs 95/98
by James Hawkins Nov. 12, 2004

Nov. 12, 2004

I've been working on figuring out the behaviour of SHQueryValueEx using XP for testing. I know that on XP SHQueryValueEx just calls SHRegGetValue, so any results from testing SHQueryValueEx match those documented about SHRegGetValue and even those not documented. What I'm wondering is if SHQueryValueEx behaves the same on other platforms ie 95/98/NT etc. If you'd like to test it, run the attached test on your platform and report the results back. Thankyou for taking the time to help figure this one out. BTW you can ignore this error for now (I'll look into it after this): shreg.c:270: Test failed: didn't open copy -- James Hawkins

Hi Folks, Willie Sippel suggested I port the Bxbx Xbox emulator to Winelib. And I did, patch attached. It seems like we need a multimon.h, any takers? More on the emulator: Home: http://www.caustik.com/cxbx/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cxbx/ -- Dimi.

ODBC - MSSQL
by Pablo Szuster Nov. 11, 2004

Nov. 11, 2004

Hi, i´m trying to access a MSSQL server (in a windows machine in the network) from a Visual Basic Application running under wine, using an ODBC driver. Since there aren´t any MSSQL drivers for linux i decided to use de native ones, so i installed mdac_typ.exe . Then i configured the DSN using odbcad32.exe but when i tested the connection (configured using tcp/ip) an error message appeared ("[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets] General network error. Check your network documentation"). Do i have to install some network drivers for wine?? Has anyone been able to connect to a MSSQL server remotely using odbc under wine?? __________________________________________________ Todavía no tenés tu Ciudad Internet Mail?

How difficult would it be to make the equivalent of Windows Terminal Server with Wine?
by Andrew Quigley Nov. 11, 2004

Nov. 11, 2004

What I would like to be able to deploy would be a system which runs multiple Win32 compatible desktops and multiple logins on a server, with the clients accessing the desktops via RDP or ICA protocols. How many of the pieces required to accomplish that already exist, and what pieces have yet to be built? A quick search on freshmeat shows me a few different rdp clients, so it looks like the protocol spec is known. What would be involved in creating a RDP server that shows up as a video driver as far as the win32 programs are concerned?

wine notes & /etc/resolv.conf
by Grant Williamson Nov. 11, 2004

Nov. 11, 2004

Hi, is there a patch anywhere, which will allow wine to reread the /etc/resolv.conf file. i.e. application lotus notes a) start notes whilst connected to home network. /etc/resolv.conf gets populated by home dhcp server b) start vpn connection to work /etc/resolv.conf gets populated with extra name servers c) try and connect to work notes, server fails, as it cannot resolve named address If you start notes after the vpn connection is started, then /etc/resolv if correctly populated and the problem does not occur. Same issue happens when u suspend your machine and start in a different location. Does anyone have a patch or know how to get wine to reread /etc/resolv.conf periodically? Grant.

Re: Fix For Window Caption

I meant to make the caption (text) bounding box smaller a bit so the text doesn't overflow over the caption buttons. And, this patch is somewhat related to the caption buttons patch, though not so closely, so I sent it as a separate patch. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
