Wine repeated unhandled exptions
by Shachar Shemesh Sept. 11, 2003

Sept. 11, 2003

Hi list, I have just performed an upgrade to my Debian Sid Linux. During the upgrade, libc was replaced. I can now not get Wine to work on the new install. Previously, I would use Wine without --with-nptl. This no longer works. Wine sigsegv on startup (whether there are parameters or not). compiling with --with-nptl gets me slightly further. Running wine without parameters produces the help printout. However, when I try to actually run something, this does not work. It doesn't matter what I try to run (whether winelib or Windows). I get a series of "unhandled expection". This happens even for the regedit that is supposed to install my default registry via tools/wineinstall Any ideas? Anyone? -- Shachar Shemesh Open Source integration consultant Home page & resume - http://www.shemesh.biz/

Compilation errors when compiling without optimizations
by Shachar Shemesh Sept. 10, 2003

Sept. 10, 2003

Hi, When trying to compile Wine without optimizations, the compilation fails. I'm trying clean sources, with the "--with-nptl" flag. The failure (so far, I'm still trying to figure these things out) are when compiling ntdll and the wine executable itself. Both cases, the problem is that same. The linker complains that "InterlockedCompareExchange" cannot be found. Adding kernel32 to the IMPORTS Makefile at dlls/ntdll and miscemu/wine seem to solve these problems, but I'm somewhat worried, and would like to get a second opinion before I submit a patch about this. Shachar p.s. For me (P-IV 1600MHZ) complete build compile takes 25 minutes. I've now switched to ccache, hoping I can bring it down even lower.

newbie - question: compiling winelib's winemine
by Deji Akinyemi Sept. 10, 2003

Sept. 10, 2003

Hi there! I am trying to get up to speed on developing applications using wine. The winelib-user documentation recommends getting started by taking a look at the winemine (wine-xxxxxx/programs/winemine) code packaged with the library. I seem to be having different outcomes when I compile the code with the original Makefile and when I do so with the Makefile generated with winemaker. The original winemine makefile compiles the code without a problem and the program runs, however when I run the makefile generated by winemaker I get the following error: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /usr/bin/wrc -I. -I/usr/local/include/wine/windows -o En.res En.rc En.rc:23:22: Error: parse error The wine-lib documentation mentions editing the Makefile.in file, I have looked at it and compared it with the original winmine Makefile. The winemaker makefile includes the files En.rc and Pt.rc in it RC_SRCS which is absent from the original Makefile. I removed the two entries with the result that the code compiles, but however fails to run. I do not get any error messages. Apart from those RC_SRCS entries I haven't noticed anything semantically that would result in the different behaviors that I am getting, granted, I may be missing some things. What parameters do I need to pass to winemaker to get this program to run, or are there certain changes I need to make to the Makefile that I a missing? Thanks for any help or advice. Deji. P.S. Any recommendations on winelib primers would also be much appreciated.

Ah, the difference between British English and American English. <lang=en-uk>ManU are crushing Arsenal.</lang> <lang=en-us>ManU is crushing Arsenal.</lang> UK English insists on plural verbs for collective nouns (family, team, list, etc.), while US English generally uses singular verbs. (An exception is "couple" referring to a romantic pair -- "The couple are going to the store" would be acceptable on both sides of the Atlantic, although many Americans would say "is" even here.) John Freed ---original message follows--- You must send me some of the stuff you're smoking! "The list are now up to date" doesn't exist in english, you must choose "The lists are now up to date" for a plural "The list is now up to date" for a singular

Segmentation fault after new wine update and install
by Juraj Hercek Sept. 10, 2003

Sept. 10, 2003

Hello, I've updated today from wine and got into troubles after installing it - got Segmentation fault. I dig in it and figured the problem is my environment variable WINEDLLPATH which was set to "." (current directory). The back trace of stack during the crash was similar to this (just the frames 5,6,7,8 were repeating many times - until stack overflow): #0 __pthread_rwlock_unlock (rwlock=0x4032b600) at ../../scheduler/pthread.c:669 #1 0x40220ea7 in gettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #2 0x40220885 in dcgettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #3 0x4021f667 in __assert_fail () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #4 0x400903d7 in __pthread_rwlock_unlock (rwlock=0x4032b600) at ../../scheduler/pthread.c:671 #5 0x40220ea7 in gettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #6 0x40220885 in dcgettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #7 0x4021f667 in __assert_fail () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #8 0x400903d7 in __pthread_rwlock_unlock (rwlock=0x4032b600) at ../../scheduler/pthread.c:671 #9 0x40220ea7 in gettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #10 0x40220885 in dcgettext () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #11 0x40278059 in strerror_r () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #12 0x40277ea5 in strerror () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #13 0x4035513a in dlerror () from /lib/libdl.so.2 #14 0x400f7c00 in wine_dlopen (filename=0x3c001862 "./ntdll.dll.so", flag=0x2, error=0xbffff244 "", errorsize=0x400) at loader.c:452 #15 0x400f745b in dlopen_dll (name=0x400f80cb "ntdll.dll", error=0xbffff244 "", errorsize=0x400, test_only=0x0, exists=0xbffff21c) at loader.c:151 #16 0x400f7b48 in wine_init (argc=0x1, argv=0xbffff694, error=0xbffff244 "", error_size=0x400) at loader.c:424 #17 0x3c000550 in main (argc=0x1, argv=0xbffff694) at main.c:33 #18 0x402137f7 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 So, I guess wine pthread functions table should be initialized before any (system) library get's chance to throw error, otherwise we have SIGSEGV. I've fixed the error on my side with WINEDLLPATH="/usr/local/lib/wine:.". Anyways I think it's a workaround not a solution... Since I don't know much about initialization, I would leave the real fix for someone more skillful. Best Regards, Juraj

adding structures to headers
by Geoff Thorpe Sept. 10, 2003

Sept. 10, 2003

Hi there, Quick licensing/copyright question before I submit something I regret: when adding missing functions and structure types to wine headers, to what extent can we copy-n-paste structure definitions from the documentation at msdn.microsoft.com web? IANAL. Cheers, Geoff -- Geoff Thorpe geoff(a)geoffthorpe.net http://www.geoffthorpe.net/
