(and I forgot to tell you before :-\) Why is the "missing font" message a WINE_WARN ? IMHO this should clearly be a WINE_ERR, as it's a user warning, it's not only of interest to developers. -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt

Want to help Wine project?
by Andriy Palamarchuk May 22, 2002

May 22, 2002

This message is for those who wants to help Wine project but do not know where to start. We need contributors of a wide range of skills. The minimal requirements are: access to a computer with Linux (or other Unix-like system) where you can use Wine. We have a lot of tasks which are relatively easy to do. The fact that these tasks are easy does not mean they are not important. Examples of the easiest non-programming tasks available: * we *badly* need application owners. An application owner is a person who often uses some application and will help to make it work perfectly under Wine. Does anybody use Lotus Notes regulary under Wine? * confirm and research bugs in Wine Bugzilla http://bugs.winehq.com * Add a 'Debunking Wine Myths' web page http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606 Examples of the easiest programming tasks available: * Help Wine hackers - document Wine debugging channels http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638 * Improve RichEdit headers http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330 Easy, aren't they? Do you need more choice? * file BUGS in the Wine source tree gives more information how you can help the project * bug 406 contains list of issues which is easy to fix. Don't be afraid to fix all the easy issues, so nothing will be left to others. We'll gladly add more! :-) http://bugs.winehq.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=406 * suggest your help on wine-devel mailing list. Don't forget to mention your skills, experience and what you want to work on. If you want to know more - just ask. Have fun!

Cleanup code in winemaker wrapper broken?
by Martin Wilck May 22, 2002

May 22, 2002

I finally start to get around my initialization problem. However I got crashes in the Test_wrapper routine generated by winemaker in the cleanup code. This winemaker-generated code: /* Cleanup and done */ FreeLibrary(hApp); if (hMFC!=NULL) { FreeLibrary(hMFC); } dlclose(appLibrary); must be commented out, and the app works as expected. Is it possible that the cleanup code in wine has changed?

winemaker (fwd) (Re: Please comment - I'me stuck).

Martin, I hope this will geve you enough to get on with. Maybe you have enough Perl to fix winemaker? If not you can hack Makefiles as I do. Lawson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 23:23:42 -0400 (EDT) From: whit(a)giftie.alien.org To: Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> Subject: winemaker Good day! It seems winemaker is a bit behind on imports. I checked that the latest cvs would still run my app, installed it, and my winelib app stopped working. I tried to rebuild it, failed, tried winemaker on it, failed, and spent the day learning how to hand-hack things. -idll puts an "include dll" in the .spec file, where winebuild doesn't want to see it, but I hacked -ldll (in this case, -lole32) into the winebuild line in the Makefile after $(WINE_DLL_PATH) and before -sym into the Makefile (in truth, I used EXE_IMPORTS, Makefile.in, Make.rules.in and autoconf, but you get the idea) and am no longer mute. This is not a complaint. Thank you again for winemaker, but if you hadn't noticed, maybe you would like to know. I guess you will fix it before I can work out how, but if not, would you prefer that I offer a patch to you first, or wine-patches? Regards, Lawson

Wine crash before initialization - is this faulty code ?
by Martin Wilck May 22, 2002

May 22, 2002

Hi - I had a wine crash today that occurs before wine is properly initialized, and therefore was pretty nasty to debug. However I traced it down to the test program below. The test program is loaded as a winelib app (i.e. a dll). The program defines a global variable that is an instance of a class where the constructor calls InitalizeCriticalSection(). Interestingly, the call to RtlInitializeCriticalSection() completes successfully, but subsequently the program crashes and the stack is corrupted, so that I can't really see where the program is stuck. It seems that the dlopen() call in wine_dlopen() on Test.so never finishes, though. This seems to run fine on windows. Comments? Martin #include <winbase.h> #include <stdio.h> class cs_test; class cs_test { public: CRITICAL_SECTION crit; cs_test(); ~cs_test() {}; }; cs_test::cs_test() { memset ( &(this->crit), 0, sizeof (CRITICAL_SECTION) ); InitializeCriticalSection ( &(this->crit) ); }; // this statement causes the crash when called at DLL load time cs_test tst; int main() { return 0; } -- Martin Wilck Phone: +49 5251 8 15113 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 5251 8 20409 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring 1 mailto:Martin.Wilck(a)Fujitsu-Siemens.com D-33106 Paderborn http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergy

Researching crash in bug 637
by Andriy Palamarchuk May 22, 2002

May 22, 2002

I'm researching a crash, described in bug 637: http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637 I can't understand why the application crashes. Can somebody give me a hint what is going on? It seems the app quietly draws some staff, then loads an error message (?) and crashes. Snippet of the relay trace is attached.

Re: unix app <-wine-> windows odbc driver (dll)
by Aaron May 21, 2002

May 21, 2002

Hi- I have been reading, http://wine.codeweavers.com/docs/winelib-user/bindlls.shtml http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/wine.html in order to understand how to communicate with a windows odbc driver from linux. I have a working windows setup for connecting to a remote synergex database with ODBC drivers they provided. What I would like to do is be able to access the DSN provided by this ODBC driver via wine. The examples I've read seem to be the opposite of what I want to do. I have looked at dlls/odbc32/proxyodbc.c and it seems to hook unixodbc into wine as the Driver Manager. But I don't know what makes sense to put into the /etc/odbc.ini or /etc/odbcinst.ini or perhaps .wine/fake-windows/ODBC.INI .wine/fake-windows/ODBCINST.INI for the DSN provided from within wine. Is this possible. Has anybody done this before?

Office 97 installation
by Raul Dias May 21, 2002

May 21, 2002

Hi, Sorry if this has been discussed before but I could not find a searchable archieve of the list. For some time now Microsoft Office 97 installs almost perfect. However, in the end of the instalation it warns about vbe.dll could not regiter itself. Then the instalation ends with an error. Even with the error, everything is in place. The registries are correct (at least they seem to be). Word and Excel runs nicely. Everything in a windows/native dlls free environment. I found this document about the issue from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q162627 I check everything it says and everything seems to be correct. As more people have tryied Office 97/2000 with wine, this error might be already known. (I hope so) So, why does it happen? Is it a bug or something not implemented (or half implemented) in wine? Is this caused by some missing file/dll/registry entry ? Is this some ugly undocumented hack that office 97 installer does? btw, the version is Office 97 Pro in pt_BR. []'s Raul Dias
