New Darwine Binary Released
by Sanjay Connare Aug. 22, 2004

Aug. 22, 2004

Hey All, I am proud and happy to announce the release of a new binary labeled Darwine 20040820 DP. This binary is based upon the 20040813 wine release. The majority of changes for this release can be viewed: http://cvs.winehq.org/cvsweb/wine/ChangeLog It is being released as a DEVELOPER PREVIEW so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It is not yet suited for mass distribution or general user use. This release in addition to all of the fixes from the wine team includes many Mac OS X optimizations and fixes. It also includes WineHelper a native Mac OS X application that helps launch .exe's. It allows for .exe's to be double clicked in the finder like any other application and essentially bypasses the need to run wine via the command line. The Darwine libraries have been moved from their default installation location of /usr/local to a more Mac OS X friendly location /Library/Darwine. Applications and WineHelper are installed in /Applications/Darwine. This new binary also automatically uninstalls the previous binary if it is found to be installed. For uninstall to occur the user must enter an administrator's password. If the correct password is entered the uninstaller will return some errors however the old version of Darwine will be removed and the install of this new binary can commence by reopening the installer package. A new uninstaller is included with this release that simplifies the uninstall process thanks to the new location of libraries. The binary has been split into two releases one being this release and a soon to be released Darwine SDK. The Darwine SDK will contain the source for both wine and WineHelper, all of the header files, winegcc, winebuild tools and many examples and scripts that will allow open source apps to be compiled using these tools. Please report bugs to the darwine SourceForge Bug Tracking System, and to the darwine-devel mailing-list. Also any comments, questions or concerns can also be posted to the darwine-devel mailing-list. Enjoy this new release. Thanks, ~Sanjay Connare

If the SDK is wrong and is diffrent from the windows implementation, then programs calling that function will have problems bacause of imcompatible headers between the ones used to build windows and the SDK ones used to build the program, no?

Wrong call convention for SHAllocShared & co?
by Francois Gouget Aug. 21, 2004

Aug. 21, 2004

In the platform SDK's shlobj.h I find: HANDLE _SHAllocShared(LPCVOID pvData, DWORD dwSize, DWORD dwDestinationProcessId); Notice the lack of a WINAPI and the leading underscore. So this would indicate a cdecl API. But in dlls/shell32/undocshell.h I see: HANDLE WINAPI SHAllocShared(LPVOID pv, ULONG cb, DWORD pid); This really looks like the same function, just without the underscore. Furthermore shell32.spec says: 520 stdcall SHAllocShared (long long long) So who's right? The platform SDK that says this is a cdecl function or Wine's headers? There's the same issue for SHFreeShared, SHLockShared and SHUnlockShared. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: It is now safe to turn on your computer.

Re: make CryptSetProviderEx update the provider Name and TypeName to registry

Do you have evidence that Windows does it this way? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Maybe Con can help us out here? Alexandre says he > doesn't know what the issue is either and somebody needs to investigate. I > guess we do need to concern ourselves over the details :) Interesting. Probably the most valuable information is that it seems to work fine if we artificially limit the threads to exactly the same timeslice _or_ we put them at such a low priority that they are forced to be guaranteed to round robin one task at a time. This is the way 2.4 used to work which is why with the new 2.6 schedulers which do far more out-of-order rescheduling some applications have a problem; particularly under load. I suspect it's actually the latter issue. Locking between threads should prevent that being a problem, though. You already mentioned that you dont use sched_yield() and I couldn't even begin to look at the wine code myself so perhaps you know something more. The other (useful?) bit of information is that one person solved his issue with this: >I had a similar problem with Cedega. I fixed it by editing the >Cedega/WineX config file and specifying that I wanted to use ALSA >instead of WineOSS, then disable mmap for ALSA. I'm not sure if that fixes all the problems but perhaps that helps. I'm interested in getting this resolved so please keep me informed. Cheers, Con P.S. Sorry I had trouble posting to your newsgroup.
