Notes R4 redraw problem
by Ian Pilcher June 19, 2002

June 19, 2002

Dan - I'm hoping to pick your brain a little bit. I've attached a couple of screen captures that illustrate a problem I'm seeing with the Notes 4.6.7 client. Assume that I have my inbox set up as shown in "before.png". When I switch to a different virtual desktop and then switch back, the inbox will be redrawn as shown in "after.png". (The left-hand pane, which shows the views has had its width set to zero somehow.) Since I don't know either X or GDI programming very well, I'm a loss as to where to start looking. Any ideas? Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher pilchman(a)attbi.com ========================================================================

Dynamically linking with a Unix library - or not
by Shachar Shemesh June 19, 2002

June 19, 2002

Hi WINE-devel list (cross posted to Linux-IL), After a lively discussion in the Israeli Linux users mailing list, it appears that the best solution will be to give a command line (or config) option to use an external library (fribidi) for the RTL rendering. I would still implement this internally, as the extrenal library is more Unicode and less Windows complient, but that's besides the point. Adding a ./configure option to do so would probably be quite feasable (I don't know how to do it at the moment, but I am sure that will not be the disqualifying factor), but I have been quite hesitant to go that way until now, for the following reasons: A. Fribidi will have to be present during building WINE. That, in itself, is not a majour obstacle, but B. Having Fribidi present during compile will add Fribidi to the WINE dependancies. I am afraid that the consequence of B will be that no packager in his right mind will use that option. As that works in direct contradiction to the reason I entered the WINE project to begin with, I am trying to opt for a better solution. I'm seeing two possible solutions to this problem: A. If Fribidi was present during compile, check for its existance during run time. If not present, don't enable the run time option. or B. Copy (port?) Fribidi into the WINE code. It's LGPL, so the license does allow that. The consequence of B is that I will need to keep an eye on Fribidi, and keep it up to date whenever something changes there. I am very reluctant to do so. I would much rather go for the "A" solution. The problem is that I know how to do this in Windows, but not in Linux. Any help anyone can offer me? Shachar

What happens with...
by Medland, Bill June 18, 2002

June 18, 2002

Can someone save me the trouble of hunting and experimenting on the following please? Our program currently is installed through installshield. It does the usual loading of newer Microsoft DLLs etc as well as of our own objects. Rather than registering them immediately it adds the registration tasks to the RunOnce part of the registry and requires a reboot. When I had a go a couple of days ago I didn't actually "do the reboot". (At the time I didn't know how our installer worked) and registered the dlls etc by hand (when I figured out that they weren't). Can anyone tell me if the "RunOnce" registry section works and if "rebooting" in the Windows sense actually reboots the wine server? Bill

PATCH: fix for RPM
by Pavel Roskin June 18, 2002

June 18, 2002

Hello, Kristian! I have downloaded the latest Wine RPM from http://wine.dataparty.no/ It doesn't work at all, at least in the configuration without Windows. The trace shows that Wine cannot load KERNEL32.dll because it looks in /tmp/wine-rpm-root/usr/lib/wine/ instead of /usr/lib/wine/: 08072a70:warn:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen cannot open .so lib for builtin kernel32.dll: /tmp/wine-rpm-root/usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 08072a70:warn:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Failed to load module 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.dll'; error=2 08072a70:trace:heap:RtlFreeHeap (40370000,00000002,40370e50): returning TRUE 08072a70:err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) KERNEL32.dll (which is needed by C:\windows\IsUninst.exe) not found Wine should not be configured with the /usr prefix. The prefix should only be changed to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr during the install. I'm copying my message to the list, because I'm afraid that the RPMs on http://wine.dataparty.no/ are not really maintained. I remember seeing the same error a few months ago, I just didn't have time to report it. How can this error remain unfixed for months, if it makes Wine useless? This patch has been tested. The resulting RPM works. ================================== --- wine.spec.unstrip +++ wine.spec.unstrip @@ -18,14 +18,14 @@ %setup -q %build -./configure --without-curses --prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr \ +./configure --without-curses --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc/wine make depend make CFLAGS='-O2 -Wall' %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -make install +make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/wine cp documentation/samples/config $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/wine/config cp tools/fnt2bdf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin ================================== -- Regards, Pavel Roskin

__CxxFrameHandler
by juergen.schmied＠debitel.net June 18, 2002

June 18, 2002

Hi! After getting problems with many aplications generated with VC i did a search for informations and found our implementation is not complete. The information is at: http://www.thecodeproject.com/cpp/Exceptionhandler.asp there is a example code for a replacement of the VC exception handling what looks like it could be ported to wine. Anybody interested in looking into it? juergen PS: created BUG 789 for it.

make test and ~/.wine/config
by Sylvain Petreolle June 18, 2002

June 18, 2002

Hi, A little thought about running test and the $HOME config file: If you want to run make test after changing a parameter in the config file, you must run "make testclean", change the parametrer, and rerun make test. So couldn't we include $HOME/.wine/config in the dependancies ? ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo!

Would it be difficult for you to submit a bug report with description of the problem to http://bugs.winehq.com? The reason I'm asking you is that I don't know if anybody can handle this information right now and I don't want your report to be lost. In Bugzilla your bug reports are always processed.

PowerBuilder 6.0 generated applications crash accessing date fields
by Luigi Capriotti June 17, 2002

June 17, 2002

I'm trying to run a PB-generated application under Wine, but every panel with date-time fields generate a crash. By means of winedbg I've managed to track the crashes to a limited set of function calls into the runtime engine PBVM60.DLL (namely PBE_SetData, PBE_FmtSetDataString, PBE_FmtSetMask ) which are called by the engine itself whenever creating dialogs. It seems to me a dialog property is not correctly initialised, leading to a segfault accessing an invalid pointer. I've managed to package a minimal test application into http://web.tiscali.it/l_capriotti/WineTest.zip hoping some Wine expert can provide advices-directions, Thanks in advance for any help. Luigi
