Doccumetation issue: "The Service Thread" Does it exist?
by Robert North Jan. 24, 2003

Jan. 24, 2003

This concerns the documentation on thw www.winehq.com website, if it's out of date, then this post may be irrelevant. In the "Wine Developer's Guide" In Section 8.1.4, "The Service thread" Says there exists a service thread, that is implemented in: scheduler/services.c. It also says this thread is used to support the X11 driver's event loop. Firstly, I cannot find the "scheduler/services.c" file. Secondly from my reading of the x11drv code, the X11 event loop is serviced for every call of to X11DRV_MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx, which is inturn called by MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx, and GetMessage. Therefore, whichever thread is active will service the X11 event queue. It also appears, because each thread has it's own XDisplay object that messages created by a X11 window will only be picked up in the thread that created the window. Am I correct, or have I missed something fundamental? Bye -Rob.

RtlpWaitForCriticalSection?
by Mike Hearn Jan. 23, 2003

Jan. 23, 2003

Using the latest Wine release, I see this error repeated over and over: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x70460350 "?" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) tid=08436988 when clicking on the CML demo at Adobes SVG demo site. Google indicates that this error can be caused by all sorts of things, one guy said it was due to Wine being a lot slower than Windows. So, could anybody write an explanation of what this error means? thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Windows API database
by David Miller Jan. 23, 2003

Jan. 23, 2003

I would be interested in knowing more about the goals of this project. Don't consider me officially working on such a thing just yet. I have no real perl experience, but would like to learn. First I'd like to know more about what I'm up against. 1. Is there a specific set of dll's and exe's we want included in the database or does it need to scan and gather a list of all dll and exe files? That would suggest a clean OS install is necessary. 2. What information should be in the database? (OS ver, name of dll or exe, name of imported dll, APIs and whether they are imported or exported, etc.) 3. Will a single MySQL table do or does it need to be a relational database with multiple tables? 4. Anything else you can tell me about this task?

Well, I don't actually know what is wrong with dos4gw. It is probably something subtle with int21 functions. However, why it hangs is something I haven't checked out. You could try running those programs using DOS32A (DOS/32 Advanced) extender. It seems to work quite well. I just posted a patch that is required to get its installer working, though, so you might have some trouble unpacking it... If you get those games to work under dos32a you will probably find out that Wine SVGA support is lacking. That is something I have considered to fix if I can find the time to do it. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Sacrifice demo & sound.dll
by Christian Costa Jan. 23, 2003

Jan. 23, 2003

Hi all! I've tried the Sacrifice demo and it complains about sound.dll. Indeed it uses its own 32-bit sound.dll which lies in its directory. Apparently the dll seems to conflict with our 16-bit windows sound.dll I've joined a small log. I tried to add a "sound" entry in the [DllOverrides] section in the config file to force the native to be loaded first but that does not help. Any idea ? Thanks in advance. Christian. trace:module:GetModuleFileNameA F:\Sacrifice\Sacrifice.exe trace:module:MODULE_GetLoadOrder looking for F:\Sacrifice\sound.dll trace:module:GetModuleFileNameA F:\Sacrifice\Sacrifice.exe trace:module:open_app_key searching 'F:\Sacrifice\sound' in AppDefaults\Sacrifice.exe\DllOverrides trace:module:MODULE_GetLoadOrder got hardcoded default "b,n" for "F:\\Sacrifice\\sound.dll" trace:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Trying built-in 'F:\Sacrifice\sound.dll' err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll sound.dll still not found - 16-bit dll or version conflict. warn:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of builtin DLL F:\Sacrifice\sound.dll failed (error 193). warn:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Failed to load module 'F:\Sacrifice\sound.dll'; error=193

Hi, The latest version of newsbin 4.1B5 refuses to run, displaying "debugger or monitoring tool detected". The detection code is very simple, immedeately at the program entry point 0x516000 it does (intel syntax): | Disassembly of 0x00516000 | 0x51600D: 64A023000000 mov al,fs:[0x23] | 0x516013: EB03 jmp 0x516018 | ;*************************************************** | 0x516018: 84C0 test al,al | 0x51601A: EB03 jmp 0x51601f | ;*************************************************** | 0x51601F: 7567 jnz 0x516088 This jump is taken and leads immedeatly to the messagebox displaying the message above. Any idea's and/or explanation? Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

This issue has been discussed several times. If you dig in the WWN archives you'll find mentions of it going back a few years. Much more interesting was this post: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0550.html The approach is a shared memory wineserver. --------------- Brian Vincent Copper Mountain Telecom vincentb(a)coppercolorado.com

LockFile support
by David D. Hagood Jan. 23, 2003

Jan. 23, 2003

I have an old, nasty application that uses the Paradox database engine. This app attempts to lock the database files using LockFile. Now, it USED to work under Wine. It no longer does. The program coughs up an error "No access to directory", and stderr shows a bunch of "LockFile not supported in server" errors. Did the behavior of LockFile change in the past couple of months? Are there plans to add LockFile support into Wine?
