Quick question about ANSI and Unicode
by Dustin Navea Nov. 15, 2002

Nov. 15, 2002

Ok, as you may have noticed Dimi sent a couple of patches that were supposed to fix Treeview Notifies a couple of weeks back. They didnt exactly work, but its not that the code he submitted didnt help. Basically when running the StarCraft installer in wine, it attempts to display the treeview-based directory listing in unicode which isnt supported by that installer, and so it ends up not showing anything. I was wondering if anyone thinks that the fact that my TextCP=0 in the wine config file has anything to do with it. I'm thinking that if I set it to TextCP=1252 or TextCP=437 then it will work as expected, but I have no way of testing this until tonight, as I'm not on a Linux box right now, being at work and all. Just thought I would check with everyone and see what they thought. Comments appreciated. -Dustin

something with Chinese character processing

I found that to show Chinese character properly. Following should be modified: in wine-2002????/graphics/x11drv/codepage.c static Xchar2b *X11DRV_unicode_to_char2b_cp936(fontObject *pfo, LPCWSTR lpwstr, UINT count) { ... for(i=0; i<count; i++, str_src++, str2b_dsg++) { if(IsLegalDBCSChar_cp936(*str_src, *(str_src+1))) { // modified begin ===> str2b_dst->byte1=*str_src&0x7f; str2b_dst->byte2=*(str_src+1)&0x7f; str_src++; // <=== modified end } else ... } ... } But there still some character can't be properly showed. Where I lost should be modified, please tell me. Best regards. /yf

Another msvcrt replacement
by Fabian Cenedese Nov. 15, 2002

Hi Looks like wine is not the only one in need of MS replacements. They're only at version 0.0.1 but maybe they have something wine could use or wine sure has something they could use... http://mingwacr.sourceforge.net/ bye Fabi

Wine Time Line
by Thomas Wickline Nov. 15, 2002

Nov. 15, 2002

Hi, I have been looking over the FAQ and we have a question in the FAQ " What is the History of Wine" And after talking with Dimi Paun I would like to expand this to a " Wine Time Line" page that could be updated a couple times a year. This would give users info about wine's progression & events that took place over the years. Here is a draft of the first year 1993/1994..... Done by _Robert Amstadt_ -- A discussion began on USENET about the feasibility of running Windows apps on Linux. There were some people that said that it is impossible. This didn't sit well with Robert Amstadt so he began work to prove them wrong. He started out by writing a program loader for Win3.1 apps. Alexandre Julliard merged windowing functions written by Peter MacDonald in Tcl/Tk to the program loader written by Robert. Alexandre soon after rewrote everything to eliminate the Tcl/Tk in favor of direct calls to Xlib. Eric Youngdale also contributed early in many areas including improvements to the program loader. The very first Wine mailing list was operated by Robert to allow discussions between developers. After a year with many successes and growing interest in the project we asked for the creation of the newsgroup comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of its creation. Around the same time, Robert was asked to give a presentation about Wine at the first Linux Congress in Heidelberg, Germany. The room was packed. Interest in Wine was very high. During the first year of development, most of the code was written by Alexandre Julliard and Robert Amstadt. However, we have always received contributions of code from many people. Life got busy for Robert and he stepped down as head of the project and let Alexandre take control. It was probably sometime during the second year. -- Thoughts, Volinteers, Flames are most welcome..

First of all it was just an example what it could be used for. It is the only thing that winapi_test (tests/generated.c) currently tests for. However, there will be more tests in the future testing for other things that might or might not be C++ dependent. Secondly the test makes certain that you don't have a #ifdef __cplusplus affecting some structure by mistake. And yes, there are structure like that MONITORINFO that does. And no, don't look in the Wine source, it doesn't implement it yet. Then we could have #ifdef __cplusplus that have an "missing" #endif that matches some other #endif in the wrong place or something. We also have the COM interfaces that are different in C++... Then of course we want normal C++ tests as well. Many (most?) applications likely to be ported by Winelib are C++ application so we really should have tests for possible C++ problems. But it you don't like the .c.cxx hack I could generate C++ tests to a generated_cxx.cxx or whatever then we don't need that part of the patch. It is a little ugly I admit. :-)

dsl file for sgml faq
by Vincent Béron Nov. 14, 2002

Nov. 14, 2002

Finally, it's done. In the attached archive you'll find the following files: wine-faq.sgml -> Main sgml file faq-0.sgml \ faq-1.sgml |-> Content sgml files faq-2.sgml / faq.css -> CSS file for the FAQ index.html -> The output of docbook2html -d faq.dsl wine-faq.sgml authors.ent -> same as in documentation/, wasn't needed actually. faq.dsl -> Definition file for docbook. This is where the work went. I modify a few docbook definitions to match Dimitrie's layout. Not obvious without knowing LISP beforehand :) Of course, if somebody chooses another layout, some of this will need adjustment. Or if we prefer something closer to "vanilla" docbook. Dimitrie, the actual HTML code is rather ugly in it's source presentation, so don't hand-edit it :P Anyway, it's not meant to be hand-edited, that's what sgml and docbook are for. The layout is exactly what you already have, although with some small modifications to the layout the dsl file can be alot simpler. Tony, you can begin the transition if Dimitrie likes it (and when you have the time to). That's all for tonight. Vincent
