Re: Allow NtFileFlushBuffers to block
by Eric Pouech May 8, 2003

> ChangeLog: > * allow NtFileFlushBuffers to block, as flushing a named pipe requires this what I don't like in your patch is that you create an event in all cases, where according to the doc, FlushFileBuffers should only block for named pipes. maybe, it would be better to return the event handle from the flush server call and wait in kernel if this event is not NULL A+ -- Eric Pouech

Killer-App idea: Stack protection
by Johannes E. Schindelin May 8, 2003

May 8, 2003

Hi all, how about implementing the ideas from exec_shield (a linux kernel module written by Ingo Molnar to automatically protect existing programs from most buffer overflows) directly into Wine? May be a dumb idea; I don't know too much about those deep internals of Wine regarding stacks. Ciao, Dscho

Re: iphlpapi.dll (take 2)

The implementation should use the same function names as the exported entry points, without the IPHLPAPI_ prefix, exactly the way they are declared in iphlpapi.h. For instance DWORD __stdcall IPHLPAPI_AddIPAddress(...) should really be DWORD WINAPI AddIPAddress(...) etc. Also you can't share code by putting source files in misc/. All source files must be local to the dll, and other dlls have to use the exported API exclusively. And please use diff -u to make patches. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Just do: if (!table) return -1; // FIXME: isn't there a better error code? -- Dimi.

Re: spam protection on mailing list archives
by Brian Vincent (C) May 7, 2003

Found this link a few weeks ago: http://www.cdt.org/speech/spam/030319spamreport.shtml Particularly interesting were these paragraphs: "All the plaintext e-mail addresses we placed on the public web received some spam. The number of messages received seems to be related to the popularity of the web site. GetNetWise.org is a well-known online safety site that is linked to by major portals like AOL and Yahoo!, and the addresses posted there received a lot of spam, while ConsumerPrivacyGuide.org is a relatively new site, and addresses posted there received much less spam." "But none of the addresses that were obscured, whether in "human-readable" or "HTML-obscured" form, received a single piece of spam, leading us to conclude that e-mail address "harvesters" are not presently capable of collecting such addresses. While this may change as time passes and technology develops, for the time being it appears that obscuring an e-mail address is an effective means of avoiding spam." I think we're ok for now. --------------- Brian Vincent Copper Mountain Telecom vincentb(a)coppercolorado.com

Oleaut32 and Visual Basic 5
by erwin wolff May 7, 2003

May 7, 2003

I've found a way to let VB apps run on Wine without the native Oleaut32 DLL. If you set the Oleaut32 entry in the ~/.wine/config file to native without the native DLL in your system dir. The visual basic 5 setup and its generated files run for a full 100% (!). As long as you have the MSVBVM60.DLL in your sys dir. So I think it is the combination between having a fake native dll and the the real MSVBVM60.DLL (but still it isn't used by the vb5 setup). It is not a shame if you haven't got the file since it even isn't included in any standard windows installation. Anyway, grab it from www.microsoft.com. You should try this for yourself. I compiled wine cvs (latest) with ./configure --with-nptl so it might not work for everybody. I think the oleaut32 entry must always be set to "native" no matter what. ------------------------------------------- ECF Wolff erwinwolffnl(a)microformatica.com

wine not working...
by Daniel Chao May 7, 2003

May 7, 2003

Hi Everybody, I just recently download wine and installed it on my RedHat 9(which also recently upgraded from 8). I think I did everything right. But, when I try to install something or even just run wine. It gives me the following error. I checked all the configurations and they seem to be right. So, I don't know what's going on with it..... wine: lstat /root/.wine/wineserver-wingzero/socket : No such file or directory Any suggestion????
