> Where do you want to have windows/ and windows/system/ > directory? In / of the UNIX filesystem, world writeable? :) OK, fine, you have a point :) But what I'm trying to say is that we can actually get away with a static config of sorts. We don't need a A: drive, it's mostly useless these days anyhow (and can be accessed through other means anyhow). Yes, we need C: to be writable and have the Windows directories, which means it can't point to /. Fine. So we'll need another one (Z is OK) to point to /. For perfect usability however, we would need definitions for CD drives ... So Alexandre seems to be right: something at boot time needs to look for devices. Or we can just have C: point to /, and install a symlink into / for the Windows dir. But then we'll have to always follow symlinks which can be a problem. Darn! -- Dimi.

event.c freezes on XFilterEvent
by Vik Jan. 6, 2004

Jan. 6, 2004

Hi, I'm rather new to wine developement, and Xlib coding, and this is my first post to the list so bare with me please.... ;-) dlls/x11drv/event.c seems to freeze at XFilterEvent and brings the app to seizure ever since all the TSX functions have been gotten rid off... This is what happens: I run notepad, and start typing. Everything works fine until I hit shift+space which is the toggle for XIM (kinput in my case). Notepad freezes here. The trace on keyboard tells me that there is no character for the key combination and freezes right after; trace:keyboard:KEYBOARD_MapDeadKeysym no character for dead keysym 0x0000ffe1 >From my investigation, it seems that XFilterEvent (event.c, function process_events) <code> ignore = XFilterEvent( &event, None ); </code> is causing this. If I get rid of the whole check, and pass all the events to EVENT_ProcessEvent() , notepad would not freeze. XFilterEvent is supposed to return TRUE when the event is filtered by the XIM, but chances are that since the XIM functionalities are currently not really there, XFilterEvent cannot talk to the XIM context. As far as I remember when the TSX functions were there, the XIM window did pop up(despite XIM not working properly). I'm trying to trace the changes to see what might be causing this, but without much luck so far... I'm more than willing to try and fix this, as XIM support is critical for people from my part of the world (Japan, and most likely for Korea & China). We've been coming up with rather crude patches to have XIM work till now(upto 20031118), but can't get it to work because of this strange freezure we are experiencing.... Any pointers or thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Cheers Vik -- ------------ Vikram Kumar vik(a)zone81.com

If we also had working defaults for the users cdrom drive(s) and floppy drive then this would work quite well. Many users will want to install applications from cdrom.

Do you really mean / and not ~? I sure don't want my C: pointing at /. And if there are more than one user how do I keep their stuff separate. What about access permissions to / - a normal user doesn't have it to many places. > > From: "Dimitrie O.

Still having problems with Wine CVS

Hi, I posted before in wine-users, but I haven't had any answer. I compiled, as usual, wine from cvs, but in the last weeks I have this error every file I try to run: err:msg:QUEUE_CreateMsgQueue Cannot get thread queueMain exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\DepWalker\\depends.exe" failed, status c0000142 Only the path changes (correctly), the status code is always the same. Can anyone help me? -- Flameeyes <dgp85(a)users.sourceforge.net> You can find LIRC for 2.6 kernels at http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/

Hi folks, After intense setup work from Alexandre and myself (about 3 clicks per person :P), we've managed to enable donations through our SourceForge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/ Direct donation link: http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=6241 Now, to test the new facility, we need as many users as possible make all sorts of donations to the project...;) -- Dimi.

AutoCad 2000 latest status ?
by John Jan. 6, 2004

Jan. 6, 2004

I know there are interests in autocad 2000 status with wine. I was happy to read in http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=86&versionId=102 that autocad 2000 actually starts up now, although there seams to be a file open problem. I just wanted to forward this news in case someone is interested in fixing the details now that it at least starts up. ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Hack for the '-pthread' at make depend
by P. Christeas Jan. 6, 2004

Jan. 6, 2004

On my configuration, the 'artsc-config' script outputs '-pthread' along with the '-Isth' entries. That broke the 'makedep' procedure. It's trivial. The following patch handles this.
