Note: Pinball now comes with windows - so It can be tested out. Don't include this in the list of working apps, but Adobe Premiere 6.0 has made great progress in the last month or two - It now not only opens, but will add titles and transitions (normal AVI files will not open however - it says that they are not a known compression format) - and when printing to video, it freezes after a few seconds (well, when I tried it anyway). There are also slight problems with the timeline (but it is still workable - a great wine success story) Also, DK Multimedia's "The Way things work" works almost perfectly I've done some screenshots of running applications in Wine which i'm going to post to: http://winepics.oxygen-x.net/ a little later on today.

Earthviewer 3D Setup
by Kye Lewis Nov. 1, 2002

Nov. 1, 2002

Hi, When I run the EarthViewer 3d setup (www.keyhole.com) wine tells me this: ERROR: You need to merge the 'winedefault.reg' file into your Wine registry by running: `regedit winedefault.reg' fixme:ole:_LocalServerThread CoMarshalInterface failed, 80070057! Can someone help me with the ERROR: part (typing that command tells me that winedefault.reg doesn't exist) It's an InstallShield Wizard - not sure what version, but it's a newer one - I would bet InstallShield 6. Wine Version is latest CVS. Thanks, Kye Lewis kyethespy(a)liquid2k.com

C/C++ Users Journal is looking for a WINE author
by JCasad＠cmp.com Nov. 1, 2002

Nov. 1, 2002

WINE Developers-- Is anyone interested in writing an article on the winelib development toolkit for the C/C++ Users Journal? This article would be a great way to bring some practical information about winelib to advanced C/C++ programmers who may not be familiar with it (plus you get paid). We're looking for an article that will give some background on winelib and also provide a practical example of how to use winelib to port a Windows app to Linux. Our focus is on the code. We'd be looking for a very detailed description of how to use winelib in a specific, real-world situation. Let me know if you, or someone you know, would be interested in helping us. You can contact me at: jcasad(a)cmp.com -Joe Casad Editor-in-Chief C/C++ Users Journal __________________________________________________________________________________________ Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of CMP Media.

Name, life-cycle, directory structure, autoconf, temporary kludges for wine rpcss subtitute?
by Greg Turner Nov. 1, 2002

Nov. 1, 2002

Sorry, in advance, for this barrage of questions... but I'm getting anxious to proceed with this thing. Naming: This guy needs a name if I'm ever going to start coding it. How about: Wine Remote Procedure Call System Server aka wrpcss.exe.so? A little misleading with the "ss" thing, but this name will look familiar to windows users, and is more accurate than my previous idea of wine-epmap, since it will eventually need to do more than just endpoint mapping. I pretend this is the right name below, but if there's a better one, just substitute that in everywhere you see "wrpcss" in the following discussion. Life Cycle: Some scenarios will require wrpcss to run all the time as a daemon-type-thingy; most wont -- the majority of scenarios require dynamic on-demand invocation and auto-termination upon unmapping of all registered endpoints, as Ove suggested. Are command line arguments an appropriate way to differentiate between these modes? This ends up going back to the open question of how to implement services in wine; but, of course, I don't want to wait for this to be resolved before proceeding. Whatever solution wine implements for services, adapting wrpcss to it won't be insurmountable (assuming it's a good solution). Also: if run as a service, how do I get "detached" without using "fork()"? Is there some existing example of this I ought to emulate? Directory Structure: dlls/rpcrt4/wrpcss/ ? programs/wrpcss/ ? Autoconf: I can try to implment the necessary infrastructure myself, but if history is any guide, I will screw it up. If anyone is feeling generous with their time, they could give me a skeleton to fill in. Temporary Kludges: DCE does, indeed, provide the necessary idl to implement the endpoint mapper. Unfortunately, although the IDL is reasonably simple, there are just too many types in there to "do it right" from the beginning. Meanwhile, I am getting sick of dragging along the unmerged server parts (it isn't that hard, but I'm lazy). So, as discussed earlier, I propose the named-pipes hack until a full implementation is possible. I would, of course, take some care to keep the kludge-based parts separate from meaningful, potentially permanent parts of the code... howsabout I just listen at \\.\pipe\wrpcss for the time being? thanks for your input, -- gmt "The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" --President Bill Clinton, MTV interview, 1993

Then you can build a proper MSVCRT_FILE. > Sorry, I had a few beers tonight ;) Ok, I just remembered what my concerns > were about using CreateProcess initially when I looked at MSDN: I think you need to look more closely at the LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo argument to CreateProcess. It points to a STARTUPINFO structure having HANDLE hStdInput, HANDLE hStdOutput, and HANDLE hStdError members, which are used if the dwFlags member has the STARTF_USESTDHANDLES bit set.

MDAC
by Gustavo Junior Alves Nov. 1, 2002

Nov. 1, 2002

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place, but I actually trying to run some commercial applications on Wine. We have sucess in all aplications, but VB. These applications need to use MDAC, and this Microsoft package need to be licensed for commercial use. Anybody know any MDAC project? If not, what about to implement it on Wine? I know that it a huge API, but we need to start someday. Any comments??? Gustavo
