LinuxTag 2002
by Malte Cornils June 10, 2002

June 10, 2002

Hi all, I'm just writing to "report" from WINE's booth during LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany. Andreas Mohr and Uwe Bonnes were the developers staffing the booth. Generally, there was significant interest and high hopes for the WINE project, requests for application support was centered on MS Office (Word and Access mainly, also secondary MS apps like Visio and MS Project), Lotus Notes (but that one works quite well already, although we didn't demo it), WYSIWIG Web editors (Dreamweaver, Homesite) and DTP application (very common was support for PageMaker, which is the predecessor to Adobe InDesign). Illustrator and Photoshop were also common requests. The other notable application was Act 2000, which is some kind of Personal Information Management Software (and it did not work :)). CAD software was also commonly requested, though requests were spread on a lot of products. We tried to analyze most of the problems - I hope I can put in some bug reports later. We were able to solve *two* problems - Rhinoceros 3D modelling software (Andi will mail the patch later) and some fixes for BuildCommDCB (for some special hardware development software). A personal wishlist item: I'd like to have some overview documentation for the tricky areas in Wine, like Interprocess communication and window management (how to debug this, mainly). We found out that the wine debugger doesn't really work that well yet :-) (for me, it only worked after setting it to not using an xterm/wconsole) Marcus Meissner also stopped by and found out that most apps (Homesite, Dreamweaver, Adobe InDesign 2.0) were using encryption to protect their application file, we didn't get the decryption working. A lot of apps would probably start working if we could support "encrypted" binaries. I'll try to put in more detail later, however, you can download their trial applications and see for yourself :-) Another area of consternation was installer support, however, most InstallShield-based installers worked with a native stdole32.tlb (maybe a message to the user that (s)he needs this would be a good idea while we can't generate the typelib file ourselves, or is there some rewind stuff we could use?). About games: we showed Half-life, Diablo 2, Starcraft and Grim Fandango, we used winex for that, though. Reaction to the proprietary extensions of Transgaming (and sometimes Codeweavers) were varied. It was a bit sad that most non-game applications each had some flaws (the WordArt bug for Office, dibengine problems for MS IE, the non-working compiler backend for Visual Studio (could be a problem with the specific computer) and well... there weren't many more apps we could show because most didn't start up :)) Links to trial applications: (those I mentioned above) InDesign 1.5: ? InDesign 2.0 (PageMaker would also be interesting, get it from the same URL): http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html Illustrator 10: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html Act 2000: http://www.act.com/products/50/freetrial/index.cfm CoolEdit 2000: http://www.syntrillium.com/download/download.html?1 Homesite: http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/trial/ (note: registering should not be necessary, click on "continue w/o login" Dreamweaver: http://www.macromedia.com/software/trial_download/ Rhinoceros 3D: http://download.mcneel.com/rhino/2.0/eval/default.asp (this one works great with Andi's patch!) (and those that were rarely or just once mentioned, and not mentioned above) Gandke & Schubert EAR and GS-Verein: http://www.gsn.de/download/default.asp Lemmings Revolution: http://www.gsn.de/download/default.asp Mindmap: http://www.mindjet.de/download/download.php?produkt=mm2002std-g (with registration) Q-Stat: http://www.q-das.de/homepage_e/produkt%FCbersicht_e.htm (no free download. contacting them via mail requesting a demo per snail mail should work) Xara X: http://www.xara.com/downloads/xarax/ Photos: We made few. I hope Andi will mail an URL with them to wine-devel later. (I hope I can post some debug logs later and put some entries in the bug tracking system. No firm promises though, but you can always try most apps yourself) Yours Malte #8-)

command line options and registry questions
by Christian Costa June 9, 2002

June 9, 2002

Hi winers! The command line -winver option has been removed. I found that this option was quite convenient because : 1) it can be used easily in shortcut (in KDE for example) 2) when you don't know the windows version an app runs on, it is easier to test until you match the right one. Is there a reason for this removal ? Moreover it seems that some wine configuration are stored in the registry (the windows version for each apps for example). Is it wise to use the registry for wine specific configuration ? Personaly, I think a very cool feature could be to specify a registry file when invoking wine. So, you don't have to worried about breaking an app while installing another. A+ Christian

Locale support
by P. Christeas June 9, 2002

June 9, 2002

I haven't looked at wine code yet. However, I think I have an idea about locale use both in KDE and glibc-based programs. Those two use a totally different subsystem: KDE uses Qt unicode support from QString class. glibc has locale functions and supports both wide (16-bit) and byte (8-bit) strings. Here, nothing is expected to work until you call the set_locale fn. In both cases, applications (including wine) have to be locale-aware in order for things to work. Most of the apps currently have lots of bugs related to locales in strings. You can ask for my help in such cases, as I am strongly for internatinalized programms.

Word2K crash (window management, remote)

Sounds like some code nullifies the valid parent window handle in between. Of course I suppose that window locking was supposed to take care of this. Seems like this isn't exactly the case here ;-) Any ideas ? Hmm, wait, in a trace I just found: trace:win:RedrawWindow 10048 (16a6) NULL 0,0-0,0 0000 flags=0050 trace:win:OffsetRect <- 0,0-78,13 trace:win:RDW_UpdateRgns hwnd 10048 [16a6] -> hrgn [0000], flags [0050] trace:win:RDW_Paint hwnd 10048 [16a6] -> hrgn [0000], flags [0050] err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 10022 belongs to other process 093bda98:Call kernel32.UnhandledExceptionFilter(40454900) ret=0043854a wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... So it seems like the parent window is in another process and thus WIN_FindWndPtr fails to return the handle and returns NULL. Should we handle the possibility of a foreign parent window handle by not doing anything in case of a NULL parent wndPtr in WIN_HaveToDelayNCPaint() ?

Games, Stuff and Whatnot
by Phil Bordelon June 8, 2002

June 8, 2002

Hello there. I've been following the wine-devel--and, more recently, the wine-license--mailing lists for some time now. While I am a competent C and C++ programmer, I haven't had the time to really come up-to-speed with the Windows API enough to help in re-implementing it. [Part of that comes from an aversion to even learning enough about the Windows API to re-implement it.] Nevertheless, for a considerable period of time before I switched entirely to Linux, I happened to be a professional video-game reviewer. I was the primary PC game reviewer for the site, and because of that I happen to have legitimate copies of just about every major PC release for the past two years, not counting stuff in the last handful of months. [I have Max Payne, but not Morrowind, and so on.] I also happen to be a game collector, and over the years I've picked up a number of games even older than those, including a game (Surface Tension) that uses what I believe to be pre-3.0 DirectX. Meep! Anyway, the point of this letter is this--if people are planning on starting on an implementation of the whole Direct3D/DirectX thing for the WineHQ wine, I'm willing to be an official 'guinea pig.' I can provide any developer working on this with a list of games I own, and we can start banging away on getting them to work. There is one caveat: I don't reboot into Windows, so it'll have to be installable under Linux. While some older games work already, the InstallShield work from Transgaming that they're putting into the ReWind tree is probably necessary before the recent stuff will work. Eventually, I'd like to help with the code as well, but I'd like to proffer what services I can right now.

Problems converting DLL to unix SO with winelib
by list＠vmn.com.br June 7, 2002

June 7, 2002

Hello All At Wine-Devel! I am trying to convert a win32 DLL to a unix SO. The dll named if32dt is basically a wrapper over the serial port, interfacing some custom hardware. It is therefore a driver to the custom hw. This is part of a project to port a windows sales app to linux. There are about 6 DLLs with similar structure and my aim is to show my superiors that using winelib is much better than simply rewriting the DLL to use unix system calls. 1) I have sucessfully copied my project over to unix and built the so file The project is basicaly a couple of headers and the c file ifdt32.cpp bash# cd ifdt32/ bash# mv ifdt32.cpp ifdt32.c #the file is plain C , cpp was confusing gcc bash# winemaker --nomfc -imsvcrt.dll -I/usr/local/include/wine/msvcrt --dll . bash# ./configure bash# make bash# make install The DLL uses msvcrt so I added it. => I read some issues between msvcrt and crt in winehq.com After changing a couple lines of ifdt.c I was able to build libifdt.so . I had a lot of warnings like ifdt32.c:176: warning: comparison between pointer and integer My ifdt32.spec file is unchanged from what winemaker created name ifdt32 type win32 mode dll init DllMain import msvcrt.dll import advapi32.dll import comdlg32.dll import gdi32.dll import kernel32.dll import ntdll.dll import odbc32.dll import ole32.dll import oleaut32.dll import shell32.dll import user32.dll import winspool.drv ifdt32.c only uses msvcrt.dll, ntdll.dll , kernel32.dll, user32.dll I added simple printf calls to DllMain to see if it was being called when the SO is loaded make install correctly put libifdt.so in /usr/local/lib I ran ldconfig in /usr/local/lib with bash# ldconfig -v -n . libifdt32.so -> libifdt32.so libwine_unicode.so -> libwine_unicode.so.1.0 libwine_tsx11.so -> libwine_tsx11.so.1.0 libwine.so -> libwine.so.1.0 2) I created a trivial program to test libifdt.so bash# cat test.c #include "windows.h" #include "stdio.h" #include "stdlib.h" #include "string.h" #include "io.h" #include "conio.h" #include "fcntl.h" #include "direct.h" #include "time.h" #include "IFfunc32.h" printf("before start"); int main(void) { printf("before start"); if( IF_IFDT32_OPEN("COM2") == 0 ) { printf("We are working") ; } else { printf("Oh no!"); } } bash# make gcc -g -c test.c -I/usr/local/include/wine -I/usr/local/include/wine/msvcrt -I/home/nwine/ifdt32/ifdt32 gcc -o test test.o -lifdt32 -L/usr/local/lib This program seg faults. I have not been able to debug it with winedbg, it simply hangs with message "Starting with pid 0" bash# gdb test (gdb) b 1 Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048556: file test.c, line 1. (gdb) r Starting program: /home/nwine/ifdt32/test/test Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:15 15 printf("before start"); (gdb) n Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x400387cb in dllname () from /usr/local/lib/libifdt32.so (gdb) bt #0 0x400387cb in dllname () from /usr/local/lib/libifdt32.so #1 0x8048563 in main () at test.c:15 #2 0x40057f9b in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) p dllname $1 = "ifdt32" In this trace, it seems that a function named dllname is causing a segfault There is a string named dllname and it's contents are correct I think the winelib initialisation code has not been correctly called For example: the Dllmain function to start the DLL has not been called I have tried a great many things to work around this problem with no success. It is hard to debug because the seg fault happens very early and I havent been able to get winedbg to work. I have tried this on wine-20020509 and wine-20020122 with exactly the same problem. Thanks a lot for any help or pointers.

How to compile to include debug info
by Medland, Bill June 7, 2002

June 7, 2002

I am trying to track down a problem that is resulting in an attempt to dereference the null pointer. Very conveniently this happens in some code for which I have the source. However winedbg reckons there is no debug information in the DLL. This is not true; there is an enormous amount in there so I guess its in the wrong format. Can anyone tell me which settings I need when compiling the DLL under VC6++ in order to allow winedbg to understand the information and give me a usable stack trace? Bill

Call for testers
by Johan Gill June 7, 2002

June 7, 2002

Quoting a comment I made for bug# 722: This is troublesome. I can fix this problem by reenabling these things in dlls/version/info.c: /* Temporary workaround a broken behaviour of the 16-bit loader */ len = 0; /* VERSION_GetFileVersionInfo_16(filename, handle, 0, NULL); */ /* Temporary workaround a broken behaviour of the 16-bit loader */ len = 0; /* VERSION_GetFileVersionInfo_16(filename, &handle, datasize, data); */ Doing so, however, is said to break installation of Office 2000. I don't have Office 2000, so it's quite impossible for me to know what's wrong. I would like to hear from anyone having it, and who is willing to try installation of it with those calls reenabled.
