just for your info

Found here: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-ivit.html?n-l-9262 the following: W: But the trade-off is that you break backward compatibility to get there. Mosberger: From a technical point of view, it's clearly what you want to do, and it's not quite correct to say it's breaking backward compatibility. Itanium is as backward compatible as anything else out there. The performance of x86 code isn't all that great, but quite frankly I use it every day to do Acrobat, Open Office, RealPlayer, those kinds of things. I think that point is overstated, especially for Linux, because all of the important open source software has been ported to 64-bit and recompiled native for IA-64, so the only things you need to run in emulation mode are those proprietary apps that, for whatever reasons, you can't get natively. And for those, it's just fine. Last week, I ran TaxCut under WINE on an IA-64 Linux machine and it worked fine -- even performance-wise.

Re: Add support for CCSelect sound

>Objet : Add support for CCSelect sound Hi Guy, I wonder if a call to WCHAR name[] = { 'C','C','S','e','l','e','c','t','\\','.','c','u','r','r','e','n','t',0}; PlaySound(name, 0, SND_ALIAS|SND_ASYNC); wouldn't do the trick (didn't check it, but it's very likely it's gonna work). I can't test it (I'm away from my home PC will all my wine env) A+

Re: Fix to protect users from selves.

To all that answered: I also abhor the kludge that I wrote. I also recognize that the test would catch possible *valid* filenames. I will attempt to find the keys that cause the rename to occur. However, the point of the patch was to: 1. Provide the developers with a way not to have their Windows system (real or fake) be renamed during development. I got tired of renaming the directories back to what they should have been. 2. Protect the end users from destroying their Windows system during testing/playing. The last thing we should want is the impression that Wine is dangerous because of unexpected consequences due to simple appearing actions. "comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine" still gets complaints from user that have done this very action. Guy

CVS server broken ?
by Sylvain Petreolle Sept. 30, 2002

Sept. 30, 2002

Hi, trying to do a cvs update I get nothing on screen today, even when trying to do a simple cvs status (normally it would take seconds). cvs.winehq.com responds to ping though, could an admin look at it ? Thanks for your action. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo! Mail : http://fr.mail.yahoo.com

Debugger no more starting
by Uwe Bonnes Sept. 30, 2002

Sept. 30, 2002

Hallo, since some time for me the debugger doesn't start when a program crashes. As there was a lot of reorganization, my non-standard setup (try to run wine in place) and due to lack of time to verify (workload, holidays) I can't tell when exactly the breackage occured. The exception (here in a simple test program, doing an int21 in 32 bit mode), the exception is thrown. win32/exception.c:start_debugger_atomic() creates the event 088f7250: queue_exception_event() = 0 { handle=0 } 088f7250: create_event( manual_reset=1, initial_state=0, inherit=1, name=L"") 088f7250: create_event() = 0 { handle=100 } wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... ... The event-handle is passed to the winedbg command line: trace:seh:start_debugger Starting debugger format_size 58 (fmt=h:\tmp\wine\compile\wine\programs\winedbg\wined bg %ld %ld) trace:seh:start_debugger h:\tmp\wine\compile\wine\programs\winedbg\winedbg 134683568 100 088f7250: *signal* signal=14 088f7250: create_file( access=80000000, inherit=0, sharing=00000001,create=3, attrs=00000000, drive_type=4, f ... We select on that handle: 088f7250: select( flags=4, cookie=0x412d05e0, sec=0, usec=0, handles={100} ) ... After winedbg startup, winedbg tries to set this event 088f75a0:Ret kernel32.DebugActiveProcess() retval=00000001 ret=404e1f04 088f75a0:Call kernel32.SetEvent(00000064) ret=404e33b6 088f75a0: event_op( handle=100, op=1 ) 088f75a0: event_op() = INVALID_HANDLE 088f75a0:Ret kernel32.SetEvent() retval=00000000 ret=404e33b6 but the event is invalid and winedbg shuts down immediately: 088f75a0:Call kernel32.ExitProcess(00000000) ret=404ca18f Any idea, what's going wrong?

dlls/ completion nit
by Dimitrie O. Paun Sept. 30, 2002

Sept. 30, 2002

Hi guys, You'll probably think I'm crazy, but here it goes :) : I work a *lot* from the the command line, and I depend quite a bit on completion. Problem is, all those xxx.dll.so links in dlls/ are screwing with it sometimes, as is the case for avifile.dll.so, etc. Even when the dir name is a proper prefix of the link, it's still annoying as I don't get the / completed automatically, then I hesitate whether to add it or not, and so on. So my small proposal: what about creating them in a sub dir, say dlls/lib or something like that? I'd be willing to cook up a patch, if people are OK with the idea. ;) -- Dimi.

Printing with CUPS
by Mason Kidd Sept. 29, 2002

Sept. 29, 2002

I'm having trouble printing using CUPS. When I try and print in notepad I get a dialog saying: Cannot print the Untitled file. Be sure that your printer is connected properly and use Control Panel to verify that the printer is configured properly. My setup is Redhat 7.3 with the following CUPS packages: cups-libs-1.1.14-15 cups-drivers-hpijs-1.1-0.20020313.3 cups-devel-1.1.14-15 cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.1-0.20020313.3 cups-1.1.14-15 cups-drivers-1.1-0.20020313.3 I have tried both wine-20020409 and the latest CVS. I am printing to a HP Laserjet 1100 using the "HP LaserJet 1100, Foomatic + gimp-print" driver. This is setup to print using IPP to a print server that is also running CUPS(same version). I have not modified any of the printing or fonts options in the wine config file, since the instructions say it is automatic. I am printing from Notepad. Doing a trace of the PSDRV, it reads all of the AFM files and detects the fonts ok. Also, during ParsePPD it finds all of the paper sizes correctly. But then I get a message: trace:psdrv:PSDRV_FindPrinterInfo No 'Paper Size' for printer 'hplj1100' trace:psdrv:PSDRV_FindPrinterInfo No 'FontSubTable' for printer 'hplj1100' And then when it tries to print: trace:psdrv:PSDRV_CreateDC (WINEPS hplj1100 LPT1: (nil)) trace:psdrv:PSDRV_UpdateDevCaps ImageableArea = 0,0 - 0,0: PageSize = 0x0 trace:psdrv:PSDRV_UpdateDevCaps devcaps: horzSize = -2147483648mm, vertSize = -2147483648mm, horzRes = 0, vertRes = 0 Which doesn't seem right. It then selects the pen and brush, and looks like it will print, and the it calls DeleteDC. I have attached the full trace, with +psdrv and +commdlg. I have a full trace at: www.mrkidd.com/~mrkidd/print.trace.txt It really seems like it is almost working, but something is wrong with the paper size. How can I find why it sets everything up and then deletes the DC? Anyone have any ideas? Mason Kidd
