Summary: WineD3D: add version information to DLL Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: andrejohn.mas@gmail.com

The WineD3D DLL which is made available to users of VirtualBox lacks any version meta data. This means if I right-click and show the properties there is no version tab. It would be useful to have this information, since if a user runs into issues this would allow them to know when version they have installed, and report this information. Since there is no other way to know the version, that I can find, this is one approach.

I was using 1.1.19 (I believe, can't be 100% sure since there in no version) when I made this observation.

I agree this could be useful, but I'm not going to diverge from official Wine source in order to add such info. I think it's trivial to add it (version.rc file) if Wine developers are OK with including it (let me know if you want a patch).

Report it to VirtualBox developers not here. There is no a bug in Wine due to lack of version info in wined3d.dll.

Hi Dmitry,

VirtualBox doesn't provide win32 builds of WineD3D; I provide them (http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d) mainly for VirtualBox but can also be useful in other situations.

Anyway, that is not a fork of Wine, it builds from pristine source, or as close as possible to it. If there is a bug somewhere, it is in Wine. If you don't consider it a bug, that's too bad, but is not my problem, please don't ask people to report such things to me, as I can do nothing about it.

Thanks

Is there a source repository that contains the code and build script that creates the DLL? Who is that hosted by?

It's an enhancement.

And what is the problem in Wine exactly? What application is affected?

...

Don't see a reason why we can't have the version information.

How would it look like? Match the Wine released version 1.01? Anything else? How would that help at all, and to whom?

There isn't one. It's an enhancement request. Not all bugs are ... bugs :)

Should be a standard version resource to be seen in file properties. The best case it needs to match the the version from "wine --version". Should use the same mechanism as winecfg (see PACKAGE_STRING in it's resources). Of course it should match the version information format.

...

Anything else? How would that help at all, and to whom?

Don't know. It's not me who needs it.

Yes, in Savannah. It's linked from the page where you downloaded it.

There's a BTS, but it's only for issues related to the build system. Everything else is a Wine issue (be it a bug, an enhancement, whatever).

Anyway, FWIW, I think it doesn't hurt to add this information.

BTW could we have a small blurb here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineD3D to point to the Savannah project page, to avoid other people making the same mistake as me.

The project at Savannah is a build system. I do NOT want any sort of information there unless it is related to the build system or is essential for operation of WineD3D on native win32.
