Regression in wineconsole
by Tony Lambregts 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Lately I have been having a problem with wineconsole spitting out the following errors and failing to load. err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WCUSER_SetFont wrong font err:wineconsole:WINECON_Fatal Couldn't find a decent font, aborting I had the stock RedHat 7.2 fonts loaded as well as the stock ms-windows when I first got this error. Now I have installed the XFree86 font from Ximian and it still cannot find a "decent" font. At this point with several hundred fonts to choose from I am suprised that it could not find one that it liked. In the past (upto the middle of November) wineconsole was quite happy with "clean 10". Does anyone have a suggestion on what should I do. -- Tony Lambregts

[RFC] winewrap
by Dimitrie O. Paun 07 Dec '02

07 Dec '02

Hi folks, Here is the first cut at winewrap, as described here: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Winelib-Apps.html What it does at the moment: -- invokes winebuild to create the .spec.c file -- compiles the .spec.s file -- links in everything, and generates the .exe.so file What remains to be done: -- generate the actual executable. One possible option is to modify wineapploader so we simply symlink to it. I have a version of this around. Is this acceptable?

We still need Win-95, Win-98SE, WinME, WinXP testers if anyone would like to Volinteer :)) If your new here and would like to help out this is a great way to get started.. You dont have to be a *programmer* And in the end your contribution will help out. I also think *someone* should make a list of all NON-PROGRAMING task that could be done by non programmers!!! And ask for Volunteers / Helpers There are many points of entry in any project.. We need to recruit Graphics Pro's to help this project as well !! Why ?? This would save the programmers alot of time... If others were doing these task. And they could do more important tasks. Just you $.02 Tom

IIRC Greg Turner volunteer to do it however, also said I might take a while before getting around to do it. I, who did the stub, personally, haven't got much time to do it either. So don't hold you breath, unless you volunteer. Implementing it is not that hard I think especially since we got cabextract licensed under the LGPL for us. If not, install and use the native cabinet.dll instead.

As a Wine outsider, let me make a wild guess: To a first approximation, a nice way of thinking about it might be Write new DLLs using only published Microsoft APIs already implemented in other Wine DLLs. Ideally, new DLLs would work as replacements if compiled and run on a real Windows box. (although of course a whole lot of DLLs probably can't meet that strict definition.) - Dan

Hi, I am debugging wine with MS Media Player. Some places the program is blocking with som 7 to 8 threads opened. They are all waiting for a some event(ConnectNamedPipe) But i think there should be another thread with will Create the file or NamedPipe. So How can i see where the other threads are when i set a break point in a perticular method. How dose debuggers handle MultiThreaded Applications? Can i Shit to different Thread to exmine where is it when the program Halted? Thanks Rajesh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

You're right in theory but you're partly wrong in practice. Some time back I changed a shared library which had been used by ten or so developers for about eight years. I changed all possible unspecified length string copies and concatenates to versions with length limits. The programs using the library crashed less and displayed bad output less. Nobody noticed any speed change there might have been. We all had access to all of the source code involved and none of it was deliberately hostile to the library. The changes caught things the application programmers had missed in their testing and odd or corrupt data which ended up in the databases and made them less harmful. It was then also easier to follow up and fix "the program displayed xyz trash here" than it was to fix "my PC crashed" or "your program died". As programmers we all try to follow the limits and take care with buffer sizes and lengths and validation. We all fail and we all fail to catch every time we fail. That's just the nature of bugs and what we do. Buffer length issues are particularly hard to find and no realistic testing for a project the size of wine will catch them all. Wine also needs to remember that hostile Windows program developers may deliberately try to break programs under wine by passing invalid parameters. Even if wine doesn't check all of those, it shouldn't die when it happens. At least one company has an interest in breaking wine when running its programs and coding defensively is a prudent thing. Performance is unknown and won't be known until any possible shared function is implemented. Just announce it with the length parameter and do it with a define. Let the person who implements it decide whether to use strcat, strlcat or whatever in the first implementation, a function or inline or whatever. Six months or a year from now someone can try different implementations to see whether there is a speed difference. Then they can do something about selecting the most efficient. It's an issue, so deal with it, but there's no way to know today which will be the best implementation because it depends on the data and it is obvious that nobody knows the data well enough to be certain which will work best. If you don't like the strlcat implementeation, then you can try it with strcat and tell everyone how much faster it is when the l is ignored. Or not. Even if the l is eventually ignored in production, having it around offers the opportunity to turn it on with a compile option and/or to use it for assert sanity checking in a debug build. Finally, hi.:) Just started monitoring this list because I'm helping to get a Windows application (OzWin) working under wine.

Registering DLL's
by Jeff Smith 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

I was looking at entry C.5 of the 0.9 Todo list: "Make Wine's DLLs register themselves to avoid manual merging of the winedefault.reg [TODO]" Upon first glance I figured the approach is to (not necissarily in this order): add regsvr32.exe calls in the installation scripts, fill in the DllRegisterServer (and DllUnregisterServer) sections of the appropriate libraries, and remove those entries from winedefault.reg. About a dozen dll files have their names in winedefault.reg. So I checked the native versions of these files, and only half of them have a DllRegisterServer function. I did some further research and found that perhaps DllInstall was what I needed. Well, that only adds one library, and two have *both* functions. Does anyone have any better ideas on what the "Right Way" to tackle this item is? I am sure that adding external functions that do not exist in native versions is *not* the way. -- Jeff S _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

I bet we could make a bash script that gets called by wine (is that possible) that parses the config to check the cd path first and then checks the cd path for any autorun files, if one exists, it parses it and loads up the correct binary. Now, if that isnt a good idea, or someone thinks we should do it in the code, feel free to flame me. We still would have to have an active monitoring program though that watches for cd's to be inserted and then that calls up the script, but we could always ask the autofs guys if they would be willing to add wine load support for inf files to their perl scripts, so that if a user has autofs installed, it uses wine.. --Dustin P.S.

WineBuild/WineLib <-> MFC
by jaymz＠free.fr 05 Dec '02

05 Dec '02

Going further into the MFC dll handling, I raised the following issue: I have two dynamic libs (mfc.dll.so and myapp.dll.so), both loaded by the wrapper (myapp.exe.so). The problem is that global or static class variables are badly exported from mfc.dll.so to myapp.dll.so. Here's an example: In mfc.dll.so, let assume that I export a global integer variable named myVar. I add @ extern myVar myVar in mfc.dll.spec. When I do a GetProcAddress of myVar from the wrapper, the returned address is good, but when I link my application, myVar is undefined (WineBuild did not include it in myapp.dll.spec.c). If I add instead in the spec file something like @ stdcall myVar() myVar, it's still good when using GetProcAdress, I can now link my application, but at runtime, the address of the variable is not the good one, so I'm using corrupted data ! Therefore, when the app runs, all static data are in fact not or badly initialized and it crashes. What's the exact syntact to correctly export class static variable from a dll ? Thanks a lot for your attention.

More information about the issues at hand can be found in this thread: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/index.html#1518 These messages in particular deal with this problem: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1546.html http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1550.html http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1551.html http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1552.html http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1555.html That being said, what would it take to (1) keep the current wrc behavior, and (2) make it compatible with windres? First, windres supports any conversions between .rc, .res, .o files, whereas wrc supports only .rc -> .res. It would be interesting (from the Winelib point of view) to also support .rc and .res -> .o. The other transformations supported by windres (.o -> .res -> .rc) are not as interesting, as they are not used in the build process. With that in mind, what do we need to do to have said compatibility? Well there are two things: 1. Support windres command line options 2. Add conversion of .rc and .res to .o I will treat each of these below. Command line compatibility -------------------------- Luckily, there is only one (seldom used) option that conflicts: -I. Moreover, it has a long format name in windres as well, which can be used instead. In other words, it should be very simple to add support for the windres options to wrc (most of them will just get ignored). In other words we can support windres's options while keeping full backwords compatibility. Having this compatibility makes sense as long as we support the conversion to .o files as well. Assuming we can do that, I would say this is something we should have. Conversion to .o files ---------------------- As Alexandre pointed out in here: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/1550.html generating .o files in proper format is non-trivial. And since I'm willing to do the work, there's no chance I'm going to propose something difficult to implement! :) What I have in mind is quite simple: store the .res file, as a byte array, in a .wine.resources ELF section, and have winebuild pick it up from there (as an alternative to getting it directly from the .res file, so current behavior is conserved). With these two changes, we eliminate the biggest nastiness of getting apps compiled with Winelib. The modification will typically be: -WINDRES=windres +WINDRES=wrc Moreover, the solution is: o Simple to implement o Fully backwards compatible with current Wine practice o Fully compatible with Win32 apps using the MinGW toolchain o Supports multiple resource files, etc. So now the big question: Alexandre, are patches that implement these ideas acceptable? Sorry for the long message, and thanks for reading this far. -- Dimi.

Here is an alternative idea for dealing with command-line incompatibility: create a link 'windres' pointing to 'wrc'. In the program, we could determine how the program was invoked and handle the command-line options accordingly. This should technically work, unless we find some reason to 'mix' command line options, in which case we we would have to start 'blending' the two syntaxes. Please note that I am not familiar with the command line options of either program. <snip> >The modification will typically be: >-WINDRES=windres >+WINDRES=wrc WINDRES would not have to be changed using this method. -- Jeff S. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Wine Janitorial Projects
by Dimitrie O. Paun 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hi folks, The Wine Janitorial Project section has grown to the point where a separate page is warranted. It's been *greatly* enhanced, hopefully making the tasks a lot more explicit, easier to understand, and track. The first release of this page is available at: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-Janitorial-0.1.html As you are probably used to by now, the working version can be found here: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-Janitorial.html Please feel free to suggest new projects for the list. There are many things to cleanup in the tree, and having them available on an easy to read page increase the changes of (1) someone picking them up, and (2) us not forgeting them. So let me know if you come across anything that you feel should be on the list. Also, if you're working on something big, I can mark your name there so we can avoid duplicated work. Last but not least, there are a lot of small, self contained, and easy to get into tasks listed there. If you feel like getting your feet a bit wet in Wine development, this is an ideal opportunity to start, and get to know the project a little better. Just ask for help if you are new, and would like some help to get you started. -- Dimi.

I was under the impression that the main issue was that no DLL calls not officially exported functions in any other DLL, with officially exported meaning any function which is not wine specific eg. is also exported by the according MS Windows DLL. I have gotten the impression that all Wine specific exports start with the uppercase name of the DLL which implements them followed by an underscore and then the actual name and the main and final target is to get rid of any and all exports of such functions. So in general I would think that usage of the Reg.. functions from ADVAPI32 should be ok, but I'm not familiar with NETAPI32 at all and how it relates to the rest of Win. Maybe it is more considered part of the actual Win kernel and therefore should maybe call the Nt... functions in NTDLL. But the Reg... functions are really just a convinience wrapper around the according Nt... functions and ADVAPI32 is certainly a well known standard DLL. >Btw: Dll separation is a really complex issues and I think I'm not the >only one who feels he doesn't quite understand what it means.

It sends WM_PAINT, the does the NCPAINT thing which seems to be do do with window borders, and then some ERASEBKGND messages come from somewhere. I have a sneaking suspicion that the background gets erased after it's painted and not before, but that's a total shot in the dark and the absence of flicker kind of makes my theory look not so strong. I did some traces with +gdi as well, but it wasn't very helpful. There were lots of GetObjPtr and locking methods called, but I didn't see any actual obviously drawing related calls. There was 1 warning: GetObjPtr was called at one point with nil. What does this mean? I can't find any documentation about GetObjPtr on google. I'll look at the sources later to see if I can figure out what's wrong. Anyway, my final question is : is there a way to alter the colour with which the background is erased? Even if it screws up rendering elsewhere just for debugging i'd like to see if I can make it display as anything *except* offwhite. If so then it confirms my theory. Or are those messages processed by the plugin itself? thanks -mike -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Vstserver v0.2.0
by Kjetil S. Matheussen 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ VSTServer V0.2.0. ----------------- GRM tools 1 runs with the 25.11.2002 release of wine. ABOUT Vstserver is a program that must be running when using programs using vstlib. Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows vst audio plugins under linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc. RUNNING First you should set the "VST_PATH" environment variable pointing to the directory where your VST dll files are placed. Then to run the vstserver program, you have to cd into the directory where the "vstservant.so" file is placed (and thats most probably the directory where this README file is placed), and then run the "vstserver" program. DEVELOPMENT Vstserver is released under the GPL, and vstlib under LGPL. If there comes many source-contributions, I will probably make it a sourceforge project. To use vstlib in a program, look at the tests/exampleclient program, and various vst plug-in documentation. The interface to the vstlib consists only of two functions (new/delete), the rest is like you would do when programming for windows, macos(X), beos, irix, etc. You do currently not have access to the audioMaster callback function from a client. If you need access to it, please contact me, and I'll extend the library and the vstservant program. CURRENT STATUS Vstserver seems to be very stable. Very few vst plug-ins and instruments wont run, and I am not able to hear any latency. And plug-ins does not seem to cause more cpu-power than under windows. BUGS 1. When loading a lot of plugins simultaniously, the X server crashes (!). I manage to do that when running the ladspa "listplugins" program _many_ times in a row like this: "listplugins &". I dont know the cause of it. (running redhat 7.2, with latest XFree rpm updates installed) 2. Shared memory handlig might be faulty. I suspect that it doesnt free resources because clients sometime complains about not getting shared memory. (see server/shmhandler.c) 3. The graphics code to support gui is just hacked together by looking at the winemine source-code included with the wine distribution. I have no windows programming experience or documentation about the windows API, so if someone that have windows programming experience would have a look at the code and check that its fine/not fine, that would be, eh, fine. (The code I'm unsure about is server/win/winwin.c and server/win/main.c, about 200 lines of code.) NOT WORKING DLLS - "SimSynth VSTi demo.dll" - The standalone version wont even run under wine, so theres currently not much hope for this one. Please send me dlls that wont work. FUTURE -Make a DX-plugin server. (would be fun running pi-warp under linux). -Add gui to the plugins not providing gui themselves. (help wanted, windows programming) HISTORY 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0: -When upgrading my wine installation from the 31.10.2002 version to the 25.11.2002 version, the "err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes" problem got much worse. So I changed the vstserver program to be a normal unix program that starts a winelib program called "vstservant.so" for each new request it gets. This seems to have solved the GDI heap problem totally. -Extended the audioMaster function yet more by copying a lot of opcode handlings from the vst~ pd external by Mark Williamson. I didn't ask before doing this, but according to the pdf file, he used some code from the plugin~ external, which then should automaticly make vst~ GPL. The positive result is that more plugins works. The negative result is that you now need to patch the steinberg "vst/aeffectx.h" file before compiling, as there are some strange things in it. -Some smaller fixes here and there. 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1: -Replaced the old audioMaster function in the server with the one coming from the plugin~ source by Jarno Seppänen. Result is that GRM tools 2 now works. (I thought there were a different reason it didnt work before, without going into further detail...) Seems like vst instruments works better now too. The mousedrag problem seems to have dissapeared. -Removed some debug printings. 0.0.2 -> 0.1.0: -Added graphics support to the plug-ins. (effEditOpen/effEditClose dispatch opcodes works.) -Fixed the makefile a bit. 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2: -Fixed the process function in vstlib. -Fixed the problem with processreplace could fail if sampleframes was to high. -Added processreplace simulation to vstlib, in case plugin doesnt implement processreplace itself. CREDITS vstserver and vstlib are made by Kjetil S. Matheussen / Notam. k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no Some programming hints is gathered by looking at the pd vst-object plugin~ source and the jack soundserver source. --

Cygwin/wine : partial success

04 Dec '02

Making only one tweak to /etc/profile, cygwin manages to launch partially. If you comment the line USER="`id -un`", bash -l -i displays : (I placed "I'm here!" at the end of .bahrc) C>bash -l -i I'm here! syl@snoop ~ $ logout C> The next step will be identify the reason why it just logs out. I tried zsh but it says zsh: error on TTY read: permission denied and then I have no keyboard in wcmd. mc begin to display itself,then makes disappear the wcmd window, the program doesn't terminate.

spec file definitions
by Rolf Kalbermatter 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

I have seen some definitions of functions in a spec file where a string was defined as str or wstr. I do remember that there was an issue with this depending if the string parameter was input only (eg. const) or an input/output parameter. Is this still valid and if yes how are the rules?

Installing Internet Explorer without windows
by Boris 04 Dec '02

I just tried installing IE 5.5 from setup.exe and it never seems to install properly without windows being installed or modifying files. It would be nice to install Internet Explorer without patching anything. I hope more people work towards that.

HTML Help and IWebBrowser status
by Ender 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hi all, I'm just posting a quick update on my various WINE work for those intrested. I currently have a working HTML Help viewer, which seems to work pretty well on everything I've tested so far. It does however need some more work to conform to the way the real HTML Help system works in Windows (eg, I havn't written an ActiveX control for it yet). Currently the HTML Help viewer requires an IWebBrowser interface, and only really works with an Internet Explorer installation - so I don't believe it should be commited into WINE proper yet. We don't want applications in our own CVS that require native dlls :) That brings me to my other WIP, de-QT'ing KHTML and turning it into a working browser implementation for WINE. So far this is actually coming along quite well, and besides a few points it definatly makes an effective browser and IE compatability seems to generally be good enough to keep the majority of IWebBrowser using applications happy. I've since abandoned my earlier hopes to keep the changes minor (in order to make it easier to backport fixes from the main KDE cvs), simply because it was making the code quite messy. Hopefully I'll have some beta code ready in a week or two, depending on how my free time goes. I have a few questions however, mostly I'd like to hear from Alexandre on whether he'll consider accepting this into CVS. A working IWebBrowser implementation is, in my opinion, a must - and my HTML Help work does require it - but there are a few points to consider: - It is C++. So far, all of WINEs dlls are plain C. Is this really a rule, or just a result of the current areas of focus? I can't really de-C++ khtml and co, but I'm unsure as to whether it's okay to add a requirement for a working C++ compile environment on core dll's. - It is somewhat big, several megabytes of new code. Hopefully I can chop it down after removing a lot of the unneeded KDE and QT code I currently have #ifdef'ed and commented out. Cheers, Ender

Reducing the header maze (warning: long, unsuitable for children)
by Greg Turner 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

I'm working on Ove's comhdr1 & comhdr2 patches. So far, so good, btw -- I have it compiling against yesterday's CVS (recent commits are not folded in yet). I'll submit after I kick the tires a bit and make sure everything seems to be working (otherwise, I'll probably post it here and ask for help). Anyhow, this project has served to remind me just how deep, and how confusing, the maze of wine headers can really be. It's clear to me that lots of header inclusions are just historical remnants, that no longer serve any purpose, and, conversely, that many implicit header dependencies exist that happen to be hidden, and missing (i.e., X.h needs Y.h, but all references to X.h happen to occur after Y.h was already included, so there's no compile failure). A third kind of unnecessary (but arguably correct, in many cases) dependency is created when an include file is pulled in that is already pulled in by some prior include... This negatively affects wine development because (a) it's hard to change things, the headers break too easily, and (b) the make process rebuilds stuff that doesn't need rebuilding when things change (unavoidable, to an extent, of course, but perhaps it's too much right now). Now, here's my question: couldn't we build a script to automatically fix some of these problems? Imagine this pseudocode as a bash script, makefile, or something along those lines: o gather and create a table of all .c -> .h and .h -> .h dependencies o for each file: o one by one, try removing each reference to a header, and see if the affected units still compile. If they all do, permanently remove that reference, but remember it was there at this point we should have approximately the minimum number of header references in the code to compile wine. But some of the header references we eliminated were probably legitimate dependencies, event though we compiled OK, as mentioned above... so now we: o for each header, try to compile a "Hello World" which includes just that header file. If it fails (or even generates warnings): o for each header reference that was eliminated, try putting it back in. If still failing, try different combinations (this could become a really nasty computation with all kinds of permutations possible, but if certain simple tricks don't work, we can just give up). o if we couldn't find any way to fix it, mark the header for human review. This should ensure that each header can actually be run through the compiler all by itself -- that is, that it #include's any headers it relies on to compile. Finally... o A human picks up the pieces and fixes the breakages o The whole heuristic can start over, now, until the results start to look repetitive or trivial... I can think of some reasons this might not work out so well as I might hope, but... what do you guys think? is such a test meaningful? Is there some tool that already automates this type of investigation, or some better way to achieve the same thing? Would it be, in your opinion, too much work for too little benefit? FWIW, I can probably think of more enjoyable tasks to spend my time on... but OTOH I am really tired of waiting for wine to build on my aging pc -- anything that could speed up the build process would probably save me some from some discomfort, and others too. (At least there's no C++ in there; I'm rebuilding my system lately (I killed it over the holidays messing with glibc), and building stuff like KDE, mozilla, sun-java, and openoffice makes wine look pretty darn svelte! g++ 3.2.1 just crawls; the more "object oriented" the source is, the longer it seems to take to compile... :( ) Just "thinking out loud," probably a terrible idea, but let me know what you think, anyways... -- gmt p.s., I was kidding about unsuitable for children... but then, not sure why children should want to read this -- or adults, for that matter :P

Yes, it would be possible to resolve imports directly through the ELF tables and avoid our own separate import mechanism; basically this would be a PE-aware ld.so. It's quite a bit of work though, and portability is an issue. In any case it's for after 1.0 IMO. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
