wrc options
by Dimitrie O. Paun Dec. 17, 2002

Dec. 17, 2002

Hello people, I was looking at wrc a little bit, and I am curious to know if we really need all these options. They just pollute the command line namespace, and add confusion. windres has none of these options, and it's doing just fine. Let me be more explicit: " -a n Alignment of resource (win16 only, default is 4)\n" Do we really need this? Shouldn't this be hardcoded to some standard values? " -A Auto register resources (only with gcc 2.7 and better)\n" " -b Create an assembly array from a binary .res file\n" Do we still want to create the assembly output? Do we still use that? " -B x Set output byte-order x={n[ative], l[ittle], b[ig]}\n" " (win32 only; default is n[ative] which equals " Again, shouldn't this be hardcoded to some standard value, that we expect in Wine when we read the resources? " -c Add 'const' prefix to C constants\n" What's this good for? " -e Disable recognition of win32 keywords in 16bit compile\n" Shouldn't this be on be default? Should we even support 16bit compiles anymore? " -E Preprocess only\n" ??? What for? " -g Add symbols to the global c namespace\n" Is this choice useful? " -h Also generate a .h file\n" " -H file Same as -h but written to file\n" I would personally collapse this one into the type of output to be generated. " -L Leave case of embedded filenames as is\n" Shouldn't this one be on by default? Why do we need this option? " -m Do not remap numerical resource IDs\n" What is this one used for? " -n Do not generate .s file\n" Should we still generate .s files in the first place? " -p prefix Give a prefix for the generated names\n" Why? " -r Create binary .res file (compile only)\n" I would make this default behavior. " -s Add structure with win32/16 (PE/NE) resource directory\n" I'd guess if we need it, it should be generated, if not, just don't do it. Why do we have an option? " -t Generate indirect loadable resource tables\n" " -T Generate only indirect loadable resources tables\n" What are these used for? " -w 16|32 Select win16 or win32 output (default is win32)\n" Should we care about win16 in the first place? We clearly never going to support win16 in Winelib, so why have this option? -- Dimi.

linking between wine books
by Bill Medland Dec. 17, 2002

Dec. 17, 2002

What to people think? Should we be linking between different books in the wine-doc set? I had put a link from wine-user to a section in wine-devel. The pdf was happy enough with it but the sgm-to-html choked on it. Easiest solution is to drop the link. Otherwise can someone point me at an example where it works? -- Bill Medland

Re: include msvcrt/ fix (take 2)

Alexandre, What about this one? Currently {ming,wine}wrap are badly broken. I hope this one is rather uncontroversial, but it does depend on that bit from crtdll, and I think that is the problem. -- Dimi.

regression - 'wine notepad.exe' now has fixme
by Dan Kegel Dec. 17, 2002

Dec. 17, 2002

With today's cvs, I see fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "Notepad - (untitled)" of other process window (nil) when I run notepad.exe. This also happens with wine20021125, but not with wine20020904. Should I narrow it down to a specific patch so it can be fixed, or is this a known problem? - Dan

Playing a sound is a nice idea, but perhaps there's a more general way of choosing to hear it. In the future, there might be many interactive tests: or at least, ones that require someone to sit in front of the computer. These could all be turned off by default, but could be turned on through an option to runtest, or via an environment variable (WINETEST_INTERACTIVE). Does this sound reasonable?

The patch I submitted recently was to fix a hang in playing sound. So if you add a timeout to your test, it would at least verify that sounds played in the proper amount of time, and didn't hang wine. - Dan

It now hangs when running an install shield
by Ben Clewett Dec. 16, 2002

Dec. 16, 2002

Wine, You gues have already given me loada help, but straight onto my next stage, and I get (my old friend) the Wine Console error traceback. Running an Install Shield instalation, starts OK, gets past the initial 'Install Shield will now guide you through your instalation'. Then blanks the screen for about ten minutes, returning with the console showing: Unhandles exception: page fault on write access to E:\_ITSTMP.DIR\_INS55765._WP): movl %eax,0x28(%edx,%ecx,4) Looked in /tmp/winetmp-root/_ITSTMP.DIR/* & can't see anything wrong. 'df' shows a few dozen gig free. And clues? I hope at the end of this, I can return the great feedback by answering some questions my self :) Ben
