Sure; I was looking into integrating it, but found some problems. I agree generating modules automatically is a good idea; the main problem right now is that we cannot get the return type of the functions, and this breaks functions returning a string. > Also, I'm not sure that you are trying to do: > The files generated by make_symbols are quite useless, > they just contain a lot of LOCAL variables. They seem to work just fine for me, but I'm no Perl expert, so if you think your approach is better I'll do it that way. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Sponsoring by IBM, lets get it done
by Roland Jan. 15, 2002

Jan. 15, 2002

Hello, to put an end to this discussion, I will start trying to contact people at IBM for sponsoring, unless someone more qualified wants to do it. Anyone? Ok, so where do I start, can someone give me an email adress? I also wanted to know some technical terms: 1. How do you call the person who is TECHNICALLY responsible for a project, in this case, for the Linux stuff at IBM? 2. How do you call the person who is FINANCIALLY responsible for a project, in this case, for the Linux stuff at IBM? If someone can provide the answer to 1 and 2, it would help, the email adress I will figure out myself...if no one can provide one... Thanks...Roland

Listview Unicodification (take 3) (fwd)
by Dimitrie O. Paun Jan. 15, 2002

Jan. 15, 2002

[once again, I attached the patch by mistake, and the mail did not go through...oh well, that happens if you don't sleep at night:) ] Hi folks, Here is the latest version of the Unicode ListView control: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dimi/listview-unicode-3.diff It fixes a silly (e.g. brown paper bag type of bug, really) pointed to me by Gerard (thanks!). It does fix a problem with the subitem handling (before, the subitems were simply ignored). Tested with the Common Control Spy Sample thingy from MS. I still could not get Gerard's examples going, and it seems I really need to test with those... If things look OK, I will forward it to Alexandre soon. -- Dimi.

The app also works with those patches, but without tracing (sometimes tracing might change an app's behavior). Disclaimer: juno 1.49 is _a_ brain-dead 16 bit comms app, but not the only brain-dead comms app. I can't promise all of them will work. I don't guess all of wine-devel wants the trace. Anybody who does may have it for the asking. Lawson ---oof

I don't see > anything wrong > here. You are sure it changes the .NLS files (the default), not just the "copy" in registry? Does patches exists for all versions of Windows? Including Windows 3.1 and Windows 95? Anyway, I'm not worried primarily about this specific patch, but that any deviation from Windows no matter how "correct" it is in some meaning will make it harder to for example write a test suite for Wine. If no patch exist for say Windows 95 all Windows 95 users will have to make the change in the registry and the test suite on such a platform might not work correctly. Again this is not an argument for not having this patch including but rather a warning that we need to be careful when we have to do this type of changes. Obviously Wine must handle the Euro correctly, regardless what Windows do, otherwise we might get bad press and/or annoyed users.

Hi Sam, This list is for discussing development of Wine, not Windows NT applications. If you have a Windows binary that you want to run in Linux, then get back to us. If you're writing a program to run in Linux, then use termios to solve your problem. If you're writing a program for Windows NT, then your talking to the wrong people.

Reading Line Status Register for Serial Communications on win32
by SAM . Jan. 15, 2002

Jan. 15, 2002

Hi, I am currently trying to write a program to implement a communication protocol using WIN32 APIs on Windows NT 4.0. For this purpose it is required for me to read the parity bit of the Line Status Register when receiving data. The only way I could think of doing this was using by using IOCTL_SERIAL_LSRMST_INSERT code and enabling the LSRMST INSERT mode so that LSR information will be in the data stream read by ReadFile. Unfortunately for some reason this doesnt seem to work according to how it is documented. If anybody has used this function before can you please give me some tips as to what I might be doing wrong??? Also are there any other methods by which I can read the LSR on NT??? Thanks.
