[Bug 25541] New: Family Historian displays the message a serious error has occurred (due to missing msvcrt.dll._strnicoll)

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25541

Summary: Family Historian displays the message a serious error
                    has occurred (due to missing msvcrt.dll._strnicoll)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.34
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msvcrt
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When trying to edit the field where you enter the place the person was born, or
the place where the person died, or the persons occupation, an error message is
displayed "A serious error has occured and  Family Historian will need to shut
down". The reason for these text entry problems is due to an unimplemented
function msvcrt.dll._strnicoll  used by Family Historian. Using the Microsoft
version of msvcrt.dll works.

Does this affect the free downloadable trial?

Also affects Profi Cash 9, according to

Just a couple of comments on this patch, I'm not that familiar with strnicoll,
but two possible problems with this patch are possibly that strnicoll ignores
case (as I understand it) and this patch does not (the two strings need to be
converted to the same case prior to the compare. Also LC_Collate modifies the
comparison in strnicoll (I've no idea how). Having said that, this is a good
start and I'll try it on on FH and see how it behaves.

You're right, I didn't even look at his patch, but it's obviously wrong.

I've just been reading up on LC_COLLATE.. my heads about to explode !. No
wonder nobody has written strnicoll yet. Looks like it needs a lot of testing
under windows to appreciate would it actually does. Nice little project there
for somebody.

glibc/eglibc has an lgpl implementation, but it might be a bit hard to
extract...
