wcmd, external commands, and options
by Dan Kegel April 10, 2003

April 10, 2003

I noticed tonight while looking for a different problem that wcmd doesn't handle batch file lines consisting of an external command with options but no space between the commandline and the option, e.g. start/wait foo.exe In this case it does not find start.exe. Win98 does find start.exe in this case, and wcmd clearly should, too. I had a quick look at wcmdmain.c, and did the obvious hack --- wcmdmain.c 5 Mar 2003 02:49:04 -0000 1.26 +++ wcmdmain.c 9 Apr 2003 06:05:40 -0000 @@ -558,7 +560,7 @@ int p = 0; case '\0': return; default: - while ((*s != '\0') && (*s != ' ')) { + while ((*s != '\0') && (*s != ' ') && (*s != '/')) { if (p == 0) *p1++ = *s++; else if (p == 1) *p2++ = *s++; else s++; It then realized that /wait was a qualifier, and passed the right thing to CreateProcess: F:\>start/wait xx.exe trace:exec:FindExecutableA File start, Dir - trace:exec:SHELL_FindExecutable start trace:exec:SHELL_FindExecutable SearchPathA returned non-zero trace:exec:SHELL_FindExecutable xlpFile=F:\start.exe,extension=.exe trace:exec:SHELL_FindExecutable .exe file trace:exec:SHELL_FindExecutable found F:\start.exe trace:exec:FindExecutableA returning F:\start.exe trace:process:CreateProcessA app (null) cmdline "start/wait xx.exe" but CreateProcess seems to have screwed up handling the /wait parameter: trace:process:CreateProcessA starting "F:\\start.exe" as Windows binary trace:process:PROCESS_InitWine starting process name="F:\\start.exe" file=0x4 argv[0]="start/wait" and that's the last we hear of /wait. This all works fine if we put a space before the /, in which case the log looks like: trace:process:CreateProcessA app (null) cmdline "start /wait xx.exe" trace:process:CreateProcessA starting "F:\\start.exe" as Windows binary trace:process:PROCESS_InitWine starting process name="F:\\start.exe" file=0x4 argv[0]="start" Hrmph. Guess I should add a print for argv[1] in PROCESS_InitWine. Or leave this to somebody who understands wcmd better than me :-) - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

Problems with redhat 8 updated to glibc 2.3.2
by Mike Hearn April 10, 2003

April 10, 2003

Hi, I've just had 3 consecutive reports of practically the same failure on redhat 8 with the latest security updates. Basically, nothing works, the wineinstall script messes up and fails to import the initial registry (it seems to get the fstab parsing wrong as well?) and when run wine reports exceptions like this: 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=c0000005 flags=0 addr=0x4037c166 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[0]=00000000 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[1]=409ffc68 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c4a00 code=c0000005 flags=0 17:36 <ChipX86> wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:start_debugger Starting debugger "winedbg --debugmsg -all --auto 8 0x18" 17:36 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=c0000005 flags=0 addr=0x402af648 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[0]=00000000 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[1]=00000000 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c42c8 code=c0000005 flags=0 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 2 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c4a00 code=c0000005 flags=10 17:37 <ChipX86> trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 1 17:37 <ChipX86> err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x402af648 (pasted from irc) Can somebody with an up to date redhat box who doesn't mind being a sacrificial lamb look into this? I thought compiling with --with-nptl would fix these problems. BTW all these people were using CVS as of about 10 minutes ago. thanks -mike

Stacking of in place OLE objects
by Mike Hearn April 9, 2003

April 9, 2003

Hi, I'm trying to embed IE into a java app, and although it mostly works fine, there is an annoying painting problem that means sometimes the containing JPanel (a swing component) overdraws what IE drew - ie the clipping doesn't seem to be working correctly. I have a few questions on this: 1) I was under the impression that OLE in place objects are contained within their own child window, and that therefore anything drawn underneath that window should be clipped - is this right? 2) The windows are definately being sent WM_PAINT in the right order, but somewhere along the line the first window is incorrectly allowed to draw on top of the second. Is painting asynchronous when using OLE embedding? If so, is there any way to disable this? thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Opening AVIs with wine
by Tom Hibbert April 9, 2003

April 9, 2003

Hello All, I have successfully gotten Discreet Combustion to start under Wine/Winex CVS. However when I try and open or play back an AVI file, I get no output. I have searched the Web and found on winehq that video for windows is at a 30% complete state. Is this true? Changing msvfw32 to native in the config did not help. Please can someone tell me if it is possible for a wine application to open an avi file (or better yet use video for windows codecs).

Is this about SHChangeNotify() or do you mean low level file system events? The first has currently a serious problem with notifications for files which don't exist anymore. I'm working currently on it, to make this work. Rolf Kalbermatter

Janitorial status?
by Hans Leidekker April 9, 2003

April 9, 2003

Hi, I was looking for a way to kill some time when I ended up on (WineHQ's version of) Dimi's janitorial page. It seems the page could use an update since as of this moment some of the items seem to have been finished, or nearly so: tools/winapi_check/winapi_check --none --progress --cross-call-win32-win16 [...] loader/module.c: kernel32: WIN32_GetProcAddress16: illegal call to GetProcAddress16 (Win32 -> Win16) scheduler/syslevel.c: kernel32: _KERNEL32_86: illegal call to _LeaveSysLevel (Win32 -> Win16) [...] There must have been some problem converting these? Or were they introduced after the cleanup maybe? I decided to look further: tools/winapi_check/winapi_check --none --progress --cross-call-unicode-ascii [...] dlls/winmm/driver.c: winmm & winmm: OpenDriverW: illegal call to HEAP_strdupWtoA (Unicode -> ASCII) dlls/winmm/driver.c: winmm & winmm: OpenDriverW: illegal call to OpenDriverA (Unicode -> ASCII) [...] What's the story here? I decided to take on the 'Include statements should use <> instead of ""' item, as it seems nobody else is working on that (except Patrick Stridvall who created that useful patch to winapi_cleanup of course). My plan is to supply one patch for each directory in $WINE_SRC/* and $WINE_SRC/dlls/*, in 'ls' sorting order, to keep the patch size down. Is that OK with you? -Hans ----------------------------------------------- Hans Leidekker Vrije Universiteit Dienst IT Systeembeheer Campusnetwerk De Boelelaan 1105 1081 HV Amsterdam +31 (0) 20 444 5385 The Netherlands -----------------------------------------------

Fw: Wine release 20030408
by BiGgUn April 9, 2003

April 9, 2003

Extracted from http://source.winehq.org/source/README 4. COMPILATION (...) To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with: gunzip -c patch-file | patch -p1 where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something likeWine-yymmdd.diff.gz). You can then re-run "./configure", and then run "make depend && make". 5. SETUP (...) Don't forget to uninstall any conflicting previous Wine installation first. Try either "dpkg -r wine" or "rpm -e wine" or "make uninstall" before installing. (...) You should read the entire the useful README to get more details. HTH, Stephan
