good "beginners projects"?
by Jonathan Wilson July 15, 2003

July 15, 2003

I know a good deal about C and C++ and enough about Win32 API (plus there is always MSDN for win32 api stuff) but not that much about linux programming or about the WINE sources themselves. Is there something I can "hack on"?

Hmm, I'm confused. ntdll exists in kernel space too? I guess I always imagined the internals of the kernel would have its own symbol fixup system, without DLLs. But perhaps not. > For example, I got a version of SafeDisk secrdv.sys from Command & Conquer > Renegade (most recent SafeDisk game I can find in my collection) with a > size of 28400 bytes and a date of 29 january 02 and it only has 15 entries > in its "exports" segment and only 3 are not documented in MSDN library > online (NtBuildNumber, KeTickCount, IofCompleteRequest) (but best I can > work out IofCompleteRequest and IoCompleteRequest are one and the same) IIRC the kernel functions use a particular naming scheme. I forget exactly what it is, but IoCompleteRequest and IofCompleteRequest are not the same, but one is a variant of the other - much like FooA and FooW are in userland Win32. > Some of these APIs needed for SafeDisk support etc may already be > implemented or may be simple to implement) Yeah, but is it any simpler than just reverse engineering and cloning the driver?

The log shows that it's clearly a problem with XFree86 which can't translate EuroSign keysym to a character in your locale (pt_BR): trace:event:EVENT_ProcessEvent Got event KeyPress for hwnd 0x10022 trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent state = 2010 trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent KeyPress : keysym=20AC (EuroSign), ascii chars=0 / 0 / '' I think that by running 'xev' you could confirm that. One of the solutions is to find an existing locale in your system which supports entering of EuroSign (look for 'locale -a | grep @euro') or generate one yourself. Probably using either pt_PT or pt_PT(a)euro might help since Brazilian locale presumably is not supposed to support the Euro sign. -- Dmitry.

Hi all, I have had some problems with my keyboard, that I discovered recently, reading the recent discussions. 1) My keyboard is ABNT-2 and in keyboard.c has 2 layouts and I believe that my keyboard is ABNT-2 with ALTGR but Wine detect it as the first layout (running wine --debugmsg +keyboard) 2) All ALTGR keys give me the result except the EuroSign (see the result of wine --debugmsg +key+keyboard): err:keyboard:X11DRV_ToUnicode Please report: no char for keysym 0000 (No Name) : err:keyboard:X11DRV_ToUnicode (virtKey=0,scanCode=138,keycode=8,state=10) err:keyboard:X11DRV_ToUnicode Please report: no char for keysym 20AC (EuroSign) : err:keyboard:X11DRV_ToUnicode (virtKey=45,scanCode=12,keycode=1A,state=2010) 2) If I press the key Delete from the non-numeric keypad and the numlock was on, the comma appears. If I am correct with my observation, wine is mapping like numeric keypad delete key was pressed, but it is pressed from nom-numeric keypad (I believe that other people have the same problem, but in other keyboard layouts is mapped to "point"). Thanks in advance. -- Marcelo Duarte

Wine provides low-level binary compatibility, but currently only for OSes running on Intel-compatible chips. So why do we still say (the Un*x Windows emulator). ? If it's *not* a emulator ? P.S I have another patch for link fixes ( in works ) last count down to 50 from 163 ...... should be close to zero when i send the patch :)) Tom

still many warnings from Mesa

As far as I can see, patches from Raphaël resolved many related warnings I used to see (Thanks!), but using XFree86 4.3 and Mesa 3.4.2 I still get the following. Could someone please have a look at addressing these? directx.c:779: warning: implicit declaration of function `glXGetProcAddressARB' wgl.c:325: warning: implicit declaration of function `glXGetProcAddressARB' wgl.c:325: warning: comparison between pointer and integer wgl.c:334: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast opengl_norm.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function `glActiveTextureARB' opengl_norm.c:208: warning: implicit declaration of function `glClientActiveTextureARB' opengl_norm.c:2150: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1dARB' opengl_norm.c:2160: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1dvARB' opengl_norm.c:2170: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1fARB' opengl_norm.c:2180: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1fvARB' opengl_norm.c:2190: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1iARB' opengl_norm.c:2200: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1ivARB' opengl_norm.c:2210: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1sARB' opengl_norm.c:2220: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord1svARB' opengl_norm.c:2230: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2dARB' opengl_norm.c:2240: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2dvARB' opengl_norm.c:2250: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2fARB' opengl_norm.c:2260: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2fvARB' opengl_norm.c:2270: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2iARB' opengl_norm.c:2280: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2ivARB' opengl_norm.c:2290: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2sARB' opengl_norm.c:2300: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord2svARB' opengl_norm.c:2310: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3dARB' opengl_norm.c:2320: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3dvARB' opengl_norm.c:2330: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3fARB' opengl_norm.c:2340: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3fvARB' opengl_norm.c:2350: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3iARB' opengl_norm.c:2360: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3ivARB' opengl_norm.c:2370: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3sARB' opengl_norm.c:2380: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord3svARB' opengl_norm.c:2390: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4dARB' opengl_norm.c:2400: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4dvARB' opengl_norm.c:2410: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4fARB' opengl_norm.c:2420: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4fvARB' opengl_norm.c:2430: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4iARB' opengl_norm.c:2440: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4ivARB' opengl_norm.c:2450: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4sARB' opengl_norm.c:2460: warning: implicit declaration of function `glMultiTexCoord4svARB' Thanks, Gerald

Though his patch is available at http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/04/0194.html. It may require some major work to get it working now, as I believe some of the hooks he used (in relation to NT kernel shared memory) have been removed now. Note that I'm unsure the un-hackish parts weren't accepted, although a good guess would be DMCA. Rob
