Hi Marcus, your patch produced a yes, BUT when i changed the offset value to 0x400, and it failed ... see new patch below. something strange is going on ... ;-) Mike >Could you please apply following check to configure.in, then do: > autoconf > rm config.cache > ./configure > >and check whether mmap64 detects as 'no' and check the output of config.log ? > >Ciao, Marcus > >Index: configure.in ..

Well, not exactly; the release will be made once I no longer have any bug reports to work on. So if you feel the code is not ready for release, you better send me bug reports... So far the things I'm working on are: - ScrollWindow doesn't always get exposure events - client rect must be empty for zero size window - must create X window before WM_NCCREATE - hardware events priority order is messed up - ControlSpy refresh (?? needs more details) So if you see problems that are not listed here, you have to report them or they won't get fixed before the release. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: Make ChooseFontW use ChooseFontA

It would be much better to make ChooseFontA call ChooseFontW instead; converting Unicode to ASCII must be avoided as much as possible. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

OT: BSD License ?
by Bob June 12, 2001

June 12, 2001

If Microsoft picked up some of the code in Wine , wouldn't they need to include the copyright , permissions notice, and the authors list? It looks like the license isn't clear as to where the Copyright needs to be displayed? Could anyone clear this up? Daniel Walker

Missing functionality in mmaux
by Florian Bauer June 12, 2001

June 12, 2001

Hi, I tried to run Naturally Speaking, a speech recognition software under wine without a real windows installation. It installs just fine, but when I try to run it, it tries to adapt the audio settings. That fails, and I get the following fixme's from wine: fixme:mmaux:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type (00000007) fixme:mmaux:MIX_GetLineInfo Unhandled component type (00000008) I looked at the sources, and it seems that this is due to missing case clauses in the function MIX_GetLineInfo in mixer.c . Unfortunately, I don't know enough about C programming and the Windows and OSS API's involved to add the missing parts myself. Is it likely that this will be fixed soon? I would love to use NatSpeak under linux, because then I could delete my Windows 98 Partition... Anyway, keep up the good work regards Florian

I'll have a closer look at it this week-end, if I have some time A+ --------------- Eric Pouech (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eric.pouech/) The future will be better tomorrow, Vice President Dan Quayle __________________________________________________ Voila vous propose une boite aux lettres gratuite sur Voila Mail: http://mail.voila.fr

i'm using Suse linux 7.0 with the following files: /usr/lib/libg++-3-libc6.1-2-2.8.1.3.so /lib/libc.so.6 i've upgrade the kernel and various bits and pieces, but not the C libraries. i think there was a discussion about changes to the mmap interface on KT at some time...
