Hello, The getopt patch works great. I can build most of the dlls now except I am getting this error in comctl32. Maybe its related? Or could it be from the new winebuild changes?

Outreach to local governments considering Linux
by Dan Kegel Feb. 22, 2004

Feb. 22, 2004

Well, one more local government in Germany announced they're migrating to Linux; this time it's Leonberg. (See http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/44802) It's a small town, and they're only migrating 400 or so workstations, but it's a growing trend. France is starting to get into the act, too; Paris is reportedly considering migrating to Linux. Yet these towns face terrible odds. Fully half the specialized applications used by Munich don't have any Linux equivalent (source: http://www01.silicon.de/cpo/ts-csh/detail.php?nr=13043 ), and the situation is probably similar for the smaller towns. As it stands, Munich and other towns still need to run some Windows applications. Yet the idea of using Wine to do this has not percolated through to the public conciousness; the method usually cited is to use VmWare or Microsoft Terminal Server. Therefore, I suspect Wine really needs to reach out to local governments in Germany and France and let them know that the Wine community is very interested in helping them make the transition to Linux. I would like to start by creating a page at winehq.org that has information for towns considering migrating to Linux (links to feasability studies done by other cities come to mind). If nobody's opposed, I'll submit a patch to add that (though it may take a while, I'm fighting RSI again). Also, I think we need a mailing list, e.g. wine-gov(a)winehq.org, where they can post questions and/or discuss their situation. (Yes, they could use wine-users, but that's full of all sorts of topics that might not mix well with staid government workers; some of the games discussed there might even be banned in Germany...) They should be allowed to post in their native language if they feel more comfortable there; we have enough French and German speakers to be able to handle that, I think. If nobody's opposed, I'll post a separate message proposing its creation in a couple days. A few letters to companies consulting for these towns might also be in order. Here's an example letter. Any native German speakers out there, please feel free to correct my German! Once we have the web page and mailing list set up, we could send a few letters like this out. I think it'd really help.

A generic question...
by jiangyi178 Feb. 22, 2004

Feb. 22, 2004

Hi Dear friends, I have a generic fundamental question: What is WINE project's role in future Linux programming? Will WINE/WineLib be so powerful that it will be the mainstream of Linux programming? Or it will remain part of Linux programming culture, but not the main stream? Best regards, Richard

Broken pipe not detected
by Uwe Bonnes Feb. 22, 2004

Feb. 22, 2004

Hallo Eric,Mike, Alexandre (and alll others), as described in http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/01/0486.html Altera quartus waits for some connected application by detecting a broken pipe (ReadFile() expects error, GetLastError is checked for ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE). Our present pipe implementation doesn't set this error beside for PeekNamedPipe. The application doesn't call PeekNamedPipe(). I sent some additional test for pipe to wine-patches. The last test with its todo_wine points out this behaviour. Confirmation of my findings by running the test on windows is appreciated.

Modifying font objects
by Chris Seaton Feb. 22, 2004

Feb. 22, 2004

This is really a generic Windows progamming question, sorry... Is it possible to modify a font object's size? I want an N point version of the SYSTEM_FONT. I thought that perhaps I could get an instance of SYSTEM_FONT, and then set some attribute for the point size. That didn't seem to be possible so I thought that perhaps I could call CreateFont, using attributes from the other font object, just using my own size, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to get attributes like the char set from a font object. What can I do? Thanks, Chris Seaton

The DHCP VxD is used, for example, by winipcfg.exe. You mentioned in your old, old post you know how to call VNBT; how much do you know? I implemented enough of io control code 116 to make winipcfg.exe happy, but I didn't tackle io control code 119. Know anything about it? --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

VMM Registry access removal and IE Setup.
by Matthew Davison Feb. 21, 2004

Feb. 21, 2004

The IE6 installer in Windows 98 mode appears to use VXD calls to access the registry, and hence the patch removing this support from CVS causes IE6 setup to fail. (Also IE5 setup) -- Matthew Davison
