[Bug 14541] New: WinExec() fails when starts Unix binaries

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14541

Summary: WinExec() fails when starts Unix binaries
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Patch for kernel32

After upgrade to Wine 1.1.0 from 0.9.56 I found out that my WinEdt can't launch
Unix binaries (xdvi, xterm etc) anymore. A dialog box saying "Cannot execute
command ..." appears, but binaries are started anyway. AFAICS it is caused by a
patch by Dmitry Timoshkov that introduces "winoldap.mod". Now WinExec creates a
process and then executes wait_input_idle() that fails for Unix processes that
have hProcess == 0. I attach a quick fix that solves the problem for me, but I
am not sure that my patch is quite correct and complete. Now we can only check
that a Unix process is started successfully, but we don't know what is going on
later. Maybe somebody is able to propose a better solution?

You'd be better off sending the patch to [e-mail] and ask for
comments. As you've seen, patches here are often ignored.

Any update on this bug? Was the patch ever sent upstream?

Looks like it's still present, and the only place the patch
appeared besides here was
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-July/067438.html

At least he filed a bug.  Now it's up to the rest of us to follow through, I
guess.

Is this affecting you?

Just tested. It works for me! I can launch an xterm using Accessories->Run...
and using the patch z:\usr\bin\xterm in WinEdt 5.5 (latest).
