Owner/permissions on system.reg etc
by Bill Medland Dec. 14, 2002

Dec. 14, 2002

Before I waste hours on searching through the code can someone answer this? The way I like to run Wine is to have a single copy of system.reg and userdef.reg in a central location and then each user has a symbolic link to them (and the cached metrics) but a true copy of the user.reg. (I know that this is not going to work if multiple users simultaneously access it). However the ownership and permissions on the system.reg and userdef.reg change each time the wineserver runs. Presumably wine is actually creating new copies and relinking and this is why the ownership etc. changes. Would it be resonable at least to attempt to preserve the group permissions if not the whole ownership etc. -- Bill Medland

> I hoped to hear an improvement but there was no difference there's only a gain which is less than 0,4%, so I don't think you can hear it. and btw, some sounds package also do it this way (it's just a slighly faster than your proposal) so there's no urge to switch, but not harm either A+

My Windows headers don't include anything, but they are from an old VC++ version. Could someone with a newer VC++ check if this is still the case? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

winewrap.c bombs when building on mingw

Not that we need winewrap to port a windows apps to linux under mingw so I guess it could just be removed from the build process. gcc -D__MINGW__ -D_WINDOWS -DWINE_NOWINSOCK -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -o mingwrap mingwrap.o gcc -c -I. -I. -I../include -I../include -D__MINGW__ -D_WINDOWS -DWINE_NOWINSOC K -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -DNO_LIBWINE -DLEX_OUTPUT_ROOT="\"lex.yy\" " -DINCLUDEDIR="\"/usr/local/include/wine\"" -D_REENTRANT -o winewrap.o winewrap .c winewrap.c:28:22: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory winewrap.c: In function `spawn': winewrap.c:122: warning: implicit declaration of function `fork' winewrap.c:123: warning: implicit declaration of function `wait' winewrap.c:125: warning: implicit declaration of function `WEXITSTATUS' winewrap.c: In function `main': winewrap.c:258: `S_IRGRP' undeclared (first use in this function) winewrap.c:258: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once winewrap.c:258: for each function it appears in.) winewrap.c:258: `S_IXGRP' undeclared (first use in this function) winewrap.c:258: `S_IROTH' undeclared (first use in this function) winewrap.c:258: `S_IXOTH' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [winewrap.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/g/src/wine-dev/wine/tools' make: *** [tools] Error 2 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

by Steven Edwards Dec. 13, 2002

Dec. 13, 2002

ok I see here my kernel32.spec.def if forwarding the HeapAlloc call to ntdll and this seems to be hosed. Mabey something with my binutils is hosed. I will upgrade and try again tonight. HeapAlloc=ntdll.RtlAllocateHeap @638 HeapCompact(a)8 @639 HeapCreate(a)12 @640 HeapDestroy(a)4 @642 HeapFree=ntdll.RtlFreeHeap @644 HeapLock(a)4 @645 HeapReAlloc=ntdll.RtlReAllocateHeap @647 HeapSize=ntdll.RtlSizeHeap @649 Thanks Steven

Reviewing an article on Winelib
by Matthew Bloch Dec. 13, 2002

Dec. 13, 2002

I'd like to solicit a bit of feedback on an article I wrote for the C/C++ User's Journal entitled "Dropping Windows with Winelib" and is an introduction to making Win32 code run with Winelib under Linux. I'm conscious of a duty to present the work of others, and what I consider to be an important free software project, in an helpful light. Because it's intended for publication I can't post it publically but would appreciate anyone who knows WINE better than I do to cast a critical eye over it; if you email me privately I'll send it to you. thanks, -- Matthew Bloch Bytemark Computer Consulting http://www.bytemark.co.uk/ tel. +44 (0) 8707 455026

Prototype implementation of a shared memory winserver
by Peter Hunnisett Dec. 13, 2002

Dec. 13, 2002

Hi, in the quest for speed parity in multimedia applications TransGaming has investigated a few options in dealing with the nasty overhead of the present wineserver implementation. I have just recently posted a prototype patch for a shared memory wineserver, to the ReWind project, (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1413925&forum_id=8836) which, in a small benchmarking suite, has shown some remarkable performance gains. The concept for the shm wineserver came about during discussions at the OLS in 2002 and remained a concept until a little while ago we had enough time to create a working prototype. TransGaming is donating this code to the ReWind project in the hopes that it will encourage other Wine developers to continue to share code under the more open BSD/X11 style license and to help overcome the remaining issues with this approach. Rather than make a really long technical email, we decided that a bit of a paper would be more appropriate (it also has links to the patches). The paper can be found at http://www.transgaming.com/papers/shmserver.html Regards, Peter Hunnisett peter(a)transgaming.com
