Visual Basic runtimes?
by Mike Hearn Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

Hi, (btw, thanks to ove and alexandre for catching my patch booboo). Anyway, I'm trying to install Tipic IM (tipic.com) and once I figured out how to install .msi files in wine (hint: install ie6 then run msiexec /i foo.msi) I hit the lack of VB runtimes. It appears the MSI file assumes you already have msvbvm50 and msvbvm60 installed, but of course I don't. Tracking these down on the net wasn't too hard, but I'm wondering whether Wine could ship with them included or would it require a cleanroom implementation of these DLLs? thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ

It is not so in the current CVS of Wine: scheduler/pthread.c is linked with ntdll not with libwine. However libwine is not an appropriate place for the pthread implementation since the pthread implementation needs to call Windows API functions. libwine is a strictly Unix API library AFAICS.

True.

It is already done that what eventhough: 1. We current link with -lc not -lc_r, but maybe we should. 2. scheduler/pthread.c is as I said earlier in ntdll not libwine, so I can't see how linking can work and futhermore is doesn't for empirical evidence. > > FreeBSD since it AFAICS have no default overridable implementation > > seems to require that we have some sort of wine_pthread library to > > implement pthreads from scratch like outlined in the attached patch. > > The scheduler/pthread.c is basically the same thing, since it needs to > override every single pthread symbol used by apps, otherwise > the override > fails (or if it would be successful, it would still be incomplete). > > Stupid question: the reason for the missing symbols on FreeBSD isn't > because of the #ifdef __GLIBC__ in scheduler/pthread.c, is it? No, I would have to be VERY tired to make that mistake. :-) But since your premise scheduler/pthread.c in libwine is wrong that might be the answer. However it still doesn't explain why OpenGL seems to work on Linux. Perhaps it is because Linux have weak symbols or whatever concerning pthreads in libc and everything is OK because of this...

Off Topic: Off-list help needed with SGML Tools please
by Dustin Navea Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

For some reason I cant get SGMLTools to compile properly, everything but jade compiles but when it goes to compile that, I get a bunch of errors. I could leave out jade but thats what Im needing to compile to build sgml docs... I have tested this with Slackware 8.1 default GCC and the prepackaged GCC 3.2.1 Source from Slackware-current and neither would compile it. I also tested that its not just Slackware's GCC... Redhat 8.0 would not compile it either with GCC 3.2.1... So if anyone can help me it would be most appreciated.. I still have a couple of other things to try (installing the latest slackware binutils, and trying out CVS sgmltools, if i can ever connect to the cvs server) :/ -Dustin

Exe, Com and PATH
by Sylvain Petreolle Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

Wanting to run msdos debugger, I ran from c:\ : wine debug. the 2 debug that exists on my fake windows are c:\debug.com c:\windows\command\debug.exe My PATH variable is set as "Path" = "c:\\program\ files\\java\\j2re1.4.0_01\\bin;c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\command;c:\\windows\\system32;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\" Currently running wine debug from c:\ runs c:\windows\command\debug.exe,ignoring debug.com in the current directory. This is not the behaviour expected in real windows. These are 2 problems here : - Normally dos looks first in current directory => would load c:\debug.com. There is a problem with PATH here. - Putting 2 files with a .exe and .com with the same name in the same directory loads the .exe first, which shouldn't happen. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !

In general separate patches are better; the exception is if they are fixes to a previous patch then it's better to resend all so I don't have to try to understand the broken version before reading the fix. And yes, in either case please find a way to clearly mark the sequence, don't rely on the submission order because mail doesn't always arrive in the correct order. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Screwed up textures in OpenGL apps
by David D. Hagood Nov. 24, 2002

Nov. 24, 2002

I'd asked this before, but received no response, so I'll ask it again. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to start debugging textures being wrong under OpenGL apps under Wine? Specifically, I am trying to get HalfLife-Blue Shift to run, but all the "static" textures (walls, floors, etc.) are screwed up. The "dynamic" textures on things like people are fine. Now, I USED to have Halflife running great, but then I upgraded my system to a SMP P3 system (I had been running a UMP P3) (the old system died.) All my native apps (Q3A, RTCW, gears, etc.) are just fine. Only Windows apps running under Wine are screwed up. Does anybody have a simple Windows OpenGL app I can use for testing? Or a direction to begin looking in? I do know this - forcing OpenGL to go to indirect rendering does NOT fix the textures - they are still just as screwed up, just a lot slower.

WTF. > Ok heres what I have found. "db2html -d ../faq-plain.dsl wine-faq.sgml " works, However if I use "db2html -d ./faq-plain.dsl wine-faq.sgml " it blows chunks. as I reported. So the change to two dots works, which makes sense, therfore I changed the Makefile so that SRCDIR = .. and re-ran "make html" and produces the html beautifully. So all that tells me is "There is something wrong here" ./ should work (right?) -- Tony Lambregts
