[RFC] wrc: remaining TODOs
by Dimitrie O. Paun March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

Folks, Few things remain before I'm satisfied with the state of wrc. Here is a list of them: -- the -B option: I think this is a the wrong interface. The Win32 API has been ported to Big Endian machines IIRC, and there is no point allowing people to mock with alignment like so: it opens up a BIG can of worms for future support and maintenance. And I don't see how it can be useful -- the Wine code assumes a certain endianess, and that's exactly what wrc should output. NOTE: Of course, I just realized that the argument holds as long as the .res format has a fixed endianess on all platform. I hope it does. Anyone cares to enlighten me? -- we may need a -r option for compatibility with rc. rc used to have a -r option, it is now ignored for backwards compatibility. Anyone know if this is old enough that we can safely ignore? Up to what version was the option required? It is curretly used in the Mozilla source, so we were wondering if we could remove it from there as well. -- the -m option. rc doesn't have it, why do we need it? We are using it in the Wine tree, do we really need it? Personally, I'd be happier if we could get rid of it, so we don't depend on Wine-only extensions. -- I would like to add a -U option (undefine), for compatibility with rc. In fact, wpp should support it as well, for compatibility with cpp. That's it. Any more ideas? I would like to get this out of the way soon, any comments or suggestions are most welcome. -- Dimi.

Winemaker : problem with wrc -J ?

March 27, 2003

Trying to compile the test application from bug #1338, running 'make' gives me the wrc usage message. I paste the command run by make and the generated Makefile.

(1st) Implement msvcrt._wfullpath
by Sylvain Petreolle March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

Taking _fullpath as a model, I implemented msvcrt._wfullpath (patch attached). My unique problem : it makes use of an internal helper called msvcrt_fln_fix, which I dont understand. It seems to work without it, so I think its useful only in specific cases. Could someone explain what it does ? ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle at users dot sourceforge dot net) ICQ #170597259 No more War ! "What if tomorrow the War could be over ?"

wine-20030318 and C0000005 errors
by Paul McNett March 27, 2003

March 27, 2003

I'm not sure what the change was, but handling of fatal errors appears to have gotten much better in the past month. I'm primarily using Visual Foxpro in Wine, and C0000005 errors happen in various places in both Windows and Wine when using Visual FoxPro. Up until recently, Wine would hang with the C5 and I'd have to kill it manually. Now, Wine exits cleanly after I say "ok" to the C5 dialog box. -- Paul McNett - p(a)ulmcnett.com Hollister, California, USA

Re: Java in wine?

There are always at least two threads, because of the garbage collection which runs on a separate thread. I do not think any if the JVMs run the gc synchnonously.

Re: question about commdlg
by Mike Hearn March 26, 2003

March 26, 2003

I see. So basically Win2K only has one button, which gives a drop down for switching between list/details view, whereas we have 2 buttons. I suppose if there's an app that depends on this difference, it makes sense to implement the drop down button, and space things out so they are like on 2K. One alternative would be to make the button a toggle, rather than a drop down menu, that'd probably be easier. I wouldn't bother doing a fully fledged Win2K dialog with the sidebar, although it's up to you of course.

question about commdlg
by Maxime Bellengé March 26, 2003

March 26, 2003

I was wondering why the "default mode" button in the open file dialog of WinHex was misplaced. I figured out that WinHex places this button according to the version of Windows. If you run WinHex in win98 or win2k mode with wine, you can see that the button is not at the same location. It comes from the fact that the toolbar does not have the same amount of buttons. Thus, as I asked once, I am wondering if we should have a win2k like open/save file dialog box. I plan to add the missing stuffs in commdlg so I am wondering if I should add a win2k behavior or do nothing because there are too few apps that use that feature.

MSI Installer trouble
by Davide Giannotti March 26, 2003

March 26, 2003

There's nothing i can do to make some installers work. I always get the "The installshield engine (ikernel.exe) could not be installed" message. I tried to install the dcom98, and it unpacked the files in the windows\system dir, and that's ok, but i don't think there was much more. When i try to install the microsoft installer (InstMsi.exe) it seems working, and it gives me the "succesfull installed" popup windows too... but i know it didn't cause it unpacks and doesn't even ask me if i want to proceed, it just jumps... to the end of process. And when i try to install some progs like Dreamweaver MX, i get the darn message above. Any suggestion? Thank you all guys P.s: The "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" command seems to work (at least partially). i added the line in my winelauncher script and konqueror uses winelauncher to start my win apps. Shouldn't you check for glibc version and add that line as default in the winelauncher script? -- Davide Giannotti ITS Planet s.n.c davide.giannotti(a)itsplanet.com www.itsplanet.com
