Stupid winedbg question
by Francois Gouget May 10, 2001

May 10, 2001

This is probably a stupid question but I did not find the answer in the doc (Wine Developper's Guide). How do I copy-paste something from winedbg? A backtrace for instance. Or how do I copy/paste anything to/from any console application for that matter. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: It is now safe to turn on your computer.

Stupid autoconf question

May 9, 2001

Here is my first cut at adding a check for the FreeType libraries and header files to the Wine configuration scripts. It's basically a copy of Marcus' CUPS stuff. Since this is the first time I've done anything with autoconf, I figured I'd post it here for review: diff -urN ../wine-20010502cvs/configure.in ./configure.in --- ../wine-20010502cvs/configure.in Wed May 2 12:57:30 2001 +++ ./configure.in Thu May 3 01:44:48 2001 @@ -378,6 +378,19 @@ ) AC_SUBST(CUPSLIBS) +FREETYPELIBS="" +dnl **** Check for FreeType 2 **** +wine_cv_warn_ftsystem_h=no +AC_CHECK_LIB(freetype,FT_Init_FreeType, + AC_CHECK_HEADER(freetype2/freetype/ftsystem.h, + AC_DEFINE(HAVE_FREETYPE) + FREETYPELIBS="-lfreetype" + FREETYPEINCL="-I/usr/include/freetype2", + wine_cv_warn_ftsystem_h=yes) +) +AC_SUBST(FREETYPELIBS) +AC_SUBST(FREETYPEINCL) + dnl **** Check for IPX (currently Linux only) **** AC_CACHE_CHECK("for GNU style IPX support", ac_cv_c_ipx_gnu, AC_TRY_COMPILE( @@ -1316,6 +1329,15 @@ echo "*** Note: You have cups runtime libraries, but no development" echo "*** libraries.

At this point I have a couple of questions: * Does anyone see anything wrong with this? * I've omitted the resulting changes to wine/configure and wine/include/config.h.in from the patch above. Is this form more convenient for final submission, or should I include the changes to those files? (If the latter is the case, I'll probably go ahead and submit the autoconf changes before I get any code written, so that wine/configure doesn't get hugely out of sync.)

Well, there are tons of places where we will sleep inside a critical section, so it could potentially burn a lot of CPU. That doesn't necessarily make it slower, but it would probably impact other applications more. As usual, the only way to tell is to do benchmarks. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

You forgot to remove redundant ' around %s in the traces when output is made by debugstr_a or debugstr_w. Actually you removed some of them, but not all.

Cutting and pasting in winedbg's xterm only works for me if i hold the shift key down when doing it. Dunno why. i've got more serious problems with winedbg... when exceptions are thrown on critical sections, winedbg starts, but then itself gets stuck on _the same_ critical section. Happens all the time with netscape... i've applied Marcus's patch and i'll see if that reduces the frequency of failures, but it probably won't help winedbg's problems.

PRESS: GameSpy: Ports vs. WINE

Hi, Gamespy has an article regarding whether Games should be ported to Linux or emulated using WINE. Introduces porting Companies and Transgaming, then procedes to give statements from Gavriel, Michael Simms (CEO of TuxGames), Scott Draeker (Loki Games President), ... Except Gavriel (of course) all take on major flaming Wine, WineX and TransGaming. http://www.gamespy.com/articles/may01/wine/ Ciao, Marcus

Re: Add missing newline to WARN messages
by Francois Gouget May 9, 2001

May 9, 2001

Here's the list of weird traces: dlls/comctl32/datetime.c:221 dlls/comctl32/datetime.c:224 It looks like the goal was to print stuff on the same line in multiple steps (one TRACE has a '\n' at the beginning) but no DPRINTF is used. Also I'm not sure we would always end up printing a '\n'. Add '\n's everywhere? objects/region.c:908 objects/region.c:911 objects/region.c:918 objects/region.c:936 The '\n' usage is inconsistent. Put '\n's everywhere? dlls/ole32/compositemoniker.c:340 There's a DPRINTF I'm not sure of but there's also (comment by me): { FIXME("()\n"); /* FIXME: To whoever wrote this code: It's either return or break. it cannot be both! */ break; return E_NOTIMPL; } I would say that it should be a return but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone familiar with this code? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes.

FIXMEs in basic controls
by Uhmmmm May 9, 2001

May 9, 2001

I don't know how high of a priority the basic controls (buttons, edit boxes, static, etc) are, but they sure do have a lot of FIXMEs that I'd be willing to help with. Mainly things that the writers didn't know what windoze did. I could probably fix a lot of these. I have a windoze machine, and I could tinker with it to find out the correct behaviour. The only thing is that I'm relatively new to editing wine's sources, and extremely new to CVS, so I wouldn't know what to do with the code when I've finished. If someone could clue me in, I'd be more than happy to clean up some of the FIXMEs.

Re: Aargh! Wine won't run anything
by David.Goodenough＠dga.co.uk May 8, 2001

May 8, 2001

Well the RtlpWaitForCriticalSection, or at least one of them, has been a long running feature of Notes startup (see the note I posted a few days ago) and still happens on the 0418 drop. Occasionally since that post I have noticed that I get a continuous set of these on shutdown, so something is obviously being changed in this area. It would be nice to get rid of the underlying problem. I have not however seen the default handler problem.
