Re: Networking with Mandrake 8.0 and SuSE 7.1
by Steve Fox May 18, 2001

May 18, 2001

Unfortunately I can't really try the 2.4 kernel because Mandrake didn't get the PCMCIA token ring patch in there. I failed miserably to patch it in the last time I tried :( I plan to examine all the patches that Mandrake applies to their 2.2.19 kernel and back out some of them.

With the other replies to this post, I'd say that it would be interesting to try to configure your Mandrake system with kernel 2.4 (I suspect that you choosed 2.2 kernel). Gerard

In my case I'm using Mandrake's 2.2.19 kernel, but apparently the straight unpatched 2.2.19 works ok. I guess I'll have to go look through the patches Mandrake applied to the kernel. Thanks for the response. Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc http://k-lug.com

I am on a token ring network, which I don't think should matter. I had the exact problem with SuSE Linux: starting from Kernel SuSE-2.2.18, wine doesn't work anymore, but if I use a self compiled "stock" kernel, it works again. It's a pity I know little of both Wine and Kernel tcp/ip, and I don't have time to check kernels and diffs... :-( I don't know about Mandrake, but SuSE distributes a tar.gz with all the patches they apply to their kernels. If Mandrake does something similar, I guess a few "apply a part of the patches - compile - test" cycle should help spot the problem(s). If anyone on the list has ideas on tests I could do to gather more info, I'll be glad to help (I still have SuSE stock kernels installed, so I can test differences in behaviours between different versions rather quickly) Ciao, Rob!

Documentation: lists interfer with the TOC
by Francois Gouget May 18, 2001

May 18, 2001

If you look at the documentation table of contents you'll see things like: Anonymous unions/structs Unicode 21. C library 22. 23. The 21, 22 and 23 are not supposed to be here. What I noticed is that they appear each time I have an orderedlist or an itemizedlist in the section. If I put them in a para instead of directly at the level of the section then I don't get the extra numbers anymore. So should I go through all the doc to make things look like that? <para> <orderedlist> ... </orderedlist> </para> Hmmm, I don't see this problem in the postscript version and DocBook doesn't say that the orderedlist elements must be in a para tag. So it looks like a bug in the HTML generation. Does anyone know how to go fix this? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape around here somewhere...

Networking with Mandrake 8.0 and SuSE 7.1
by Steve Fox May 17, 2001

May 17, 2001

Repost from wine.users since no reply. Thanks for any help. ------------------------- I'm running Lotus Notes 5.04a under WINE with one of the January releases and its been working great for months. However, any release since February does not seem to do reliable networking on my Mandrake 8.0 system. I can occassionally actually get into my inbox and even open up a message, but I've never been able to read more than one. Some cow-orkers using this same setup on Redhat 7.1 do not have this problem, but others using SuSE 7.1 do too. Does anyone have any ideas why only networking would be affected and only on select distributions? It stumps me because all three mentioned distros use glibc-2.2 and gcc-2.96 (SuSE may use 2.95...not sure). On a related note, another cow-orker who is using Mandrake Cooker (development distro) and his own compiled kernel does not have this problem. I am on a token ring network, which I don't think should matter. -- Steve Fox IBM Linux Technology Center http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/ http://k-lug.com (Rochester Linux Users Group)

POLLERR and POLLHUP are legitimate results, and you definitely have to call the function in that case. POLLNVAL is not supposed to happen, unless there is a bug in the fd management. Or does NetBSD set POLLNVAL when the file descriptor is -1? This wouldn't be correct according to the Single Unix spec. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

DLL separation and PROFILE functions
by Ian Pilcher May 16, 2001

May 16, 2001

DLL separation has been mentioned quite a few times on this list (usually as the ultimate solution to a problem), but I don't think I've ever seen it actually defined. Based on my own misadventures in this area, however, I would hazard a guess that is essentially the conversion of all inter-DLL function calls from OS-based dynamic linking to the Wine DLL loading mechanism. Under this assumption, adding 'IMPORTS = ntdll' to a DLL's Makefile.in file (in order to use one of the PROFILE functions) seems like a definite step backwards. I think that the proper approach is to add the function in question to dlls/ntdll/ntdll.spec and make sure that the importing DLL lists ntdll.dll as an import in its own SPEC file. All of which is wonderful until you consider the following in ntdll.spec: ################## # Wine extensions # # All functions must be prefixed with '__wine_' (for internal functions) # or 'wine_' (for user-visible functions) to avoid namespace conflicts. This would seem to indicate that the PROFILE functions (in files/profile.c) need to have their names changed before they are exported. Is this an appropriate time to go crazy with grep and sed? (For example, PROFILE_EnumWineIniString would become __wine_EnumIniString.) -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================
