Compiling out the debug messages
by Medland, Bill 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

I know I don't know what I am doing, but.. The documentation says that to compile out the trace, warning and fixme messages I should specify --disable-debug when running configure. So I try ./configure make depend make <build an rpm and install it on another machine> <run wine> <stare at the fixme messages, swear etc.> I presume that if I look for example in the dlls/user/Makefile at this stage I should see NO_DEBUG_MSGS and NO_TRACE_MSGS somewhere, but I don't. Please can someone explain how this is supposed to work and where I have probably gone wrong. (e.g. where should I see the NO_DEBUG_MSGS) Bill Medland

Direct3D8 regression/bug
by Roderick Colenbrander 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, Just to see how well Wine's Direct3D8 support is working, I played with some some simple d3d8 demos. (that are the tutorial examples Jason Edmeades used when he started Wine's Direct3D8 implementation) A few weeks ago all those demo's worked. Perhaps some things where not rendered correctly but they worked. A few days ago I rechecked those demo's but now all d3d8 apps I try crash. Immedeately winedbg is launched. The app seems to crash in libGL.so.1. Here's the error with a backtrace: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000008 in 32-bit code (0x40bf4a06). In 32-bit mode. 0x40bf4a06 (_end+0xf6a9a in libGL.so.1): movl 0x8(%eax),%eax Wine-dbg>bt Backtrace: =>0 0x40bf4a06 (_end+0xf6a9a in libGL.so.1) (ebp=00000001) Lionel suggested that his OpenGL patches may have caused this problem. He had the same crashes on his pc. I reversed his patches but it still had problems. (perhaps I made some misstakes somewhere ..) Perhaps the problem is related to the OpenGL drivers. I'm using Nvidia's OpenGL drivers (1.0-3123). I hope this helps a bit, Roderick Colenbrander

WIN_FindWndPtr
by Dustin Navea 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hey just out of curiosity, now that we are working toward v1.0 (not like we werent before) shouldnt this error be changed over to a fixme? It doesnt seem like all that much needs to be done (aside from marshalling and whatnot). Just wondering if we were planning on fixing it before v1.0, as it would be a big boon to have it still there in v1.0... -Dustin

bug (regression) in ddraw/d3d
by J. Hoffmann 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, I wanted to play around with the improvements to ddraw/d3d, and tried to run Final Fantasy 8 which worked before in software rendering mode with the native direct music dlls. Unfortunately FF8Config (and FF8 itself) crashes now with the recent changes. The patch which introduces the regression is: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/11/0231.html (cvs version just before the patch works, applying the patch results in a pagefault.) The problem appears to be that GL_IDirect3DImpl_3_CreateDevice gets called with an rclsid = IID_D3DDEVICE2_OpenGL instead of IID_D3DDEVICE3_OpenGL, so that an D3DDevice2 gets created for the Direct3D3 interface (which results in a pagefault later, when the device is used.) See traces below. Im still trying to find the bug (and then a fix :-), but it would help me a lot, if someone could tell me where the GL_IDirect3DImpl_3_CreateDevice gets called from. (I see that it is an entry in the vtable but haven't found the function there it gets gets called yet..) regards, Jens Hoffmann ** trace for the old version: (cvs 11/24/02 16:14:09 CST) ** ... trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_QueryInterface (0x403a4568)->({bb223240-e72b-11d0-a9b4-00aa00c0993e},0x40852 3cc) trace:ddraw:direct3d_create creating implementation at 0x403a5380. trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_QueryInterface returning Direct3D3 interface at 0x403a5384. trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_AddRef (0x403a4568)->() incrementing from 2. trace:ddraw:GL_IDirect3DImpl_3_CreateDevice (0x403a5380/0x403a5384)->({31416d44-86ae-11d2-822d-a8d53187cafc},0x403a4e28,0x408523d0) trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create creating OpenGL device for surface = 0x403a4e28, d3d = 0x403a5380 trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create visual found trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create context created (0x80a0260) trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create setting current context err:ddraw:set_context This function should not be called in the current state of the code... trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create current context set trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create creating implementation at 0x403a5770. trace:ddraw:create_device_helper returning OpenGL D3DDevice3 (nil) trace:ddraw:Thunk_IDirect3DDeviceImpl_3_EnumTextureFormats (0x403a5774)->(0x405393,0x42e014) thunking to IDirect3DDevice7 interface. ... ** trace for cvs head: ** ... trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_QueryInterface (0x403a4540)->({bb223240-e72b-11d0-a9b4-00aa00c0993e},0x408523cc) trace:ddraw:direct3d_create creating implementation at 0x403a54b0. trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_QueryInterface returning Direct3D3 interface at 0x403a54b4. trace:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_AddRef (0x403a4540)->() incrementing from 2. trace:ddraw:GL_IDirect3DImpl_3_CreateDevice (0x403a54b0/0x403a54b4)->({31416d44-86ae-11d2-822d-a8d53187cafb},0x403a4f18,0x408523d0) trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create creating OpenGL device for surface = 0x403a4f18, d3d = 0x403a54b0 trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create visual found trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create context created (0x809f818) trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create setting current context trace:ddraw:set_context glxMakeCurrent 0x80690c0, 62914563, 0x809f818 trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create current context set trace:ddraw:d3ddevice_create creating implementation at 0x403a55e8. trace:ddraw:create_device_helper returning OpenGL D3DDevice2 0x403a55f0 trace:ddraw:Thunk_IDirect3DDeviceImpl_2_NextViewport (0x403a55f0)->(0x405393,0x42cb40,00000000) thunking ...

Re: Wine 0.9 TODO v0.6
by Z_God 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

First, would it be an idea to say at least *insert any number* of Windows apps should be working perfectly with Wine before it is called 0.9? For example, we at least want to have 200 known perfectly working apps. And why not start at version 0.6 or something and calling Wine beta software instead of alpha when these TODOs are done? Then it would be possible to work towards a great 1.0 release. Just look at Mozilla, they post-poned their 1.0 release more than a year to become really great. Keep up the great work!!

Programs to test D3D
by J C 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi all, I've been following the recent work on D3D and decided I would give a couple of benchmarks/demos I had around a go. Pleasantly I found that they actually start up now and display some stuff on screen! Before the recent patches they would fail completely when starting the actual D3D stuff. I'm not sure if you're aware of these programs or not but I figured I would pass on the URLs to you as they might be of help. This first is a demo called Bleam: http://www.bluespoon.com/banjoh/ This page has a binary of the demo and source code as well. The second is an older benchmark/demo called Tirtanium: http://www.tirtanium.de/prog3d.html The homepage doesnt seem to have the binary anymore so here's a direct link to a mirror: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/3dfiles/tweakfiles/benchmark/tirta190.zip Both display stuff on screen and will run through to the end with no crashes.

W->A calling and 32->16 calling
by Rolf Kalbermatter 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

While going through the shell32 sources I found several issues with respect of this and at least one of them I couldn't find in the Janitorial list. ExtractIconW calls ExtractIconA which is mentioned but ExtractIconA calls InternalExtractIcon16 which is a 16 bit undocumented but exported function. I guess this should also go into the 32->16bit list somehow. I have worked on some fix for this but have to admit that this seems a little bit tricky. InternalExtractIcon16 also tries to open the file name with LoadLibrary16 so if it is a 16bit DLL the requested icons will still be extracted. PrivateExtractIcon and friends which are similar but also can handle negative icon indices which indicates that it should be treated as icon identifier, do as far as I can see not deal with 16bit libraries (they ultimatively call ICO_ExtractIconExW. This of course poses the question if the 32bit function ExtractIcon is supposed to return icons for 16bit libraries and if so, ExtractIconEx may actually also be required to do so. Below is a first attempt for a patch which does most probably not try to load resources from 16bit libraries yet. Also how about going with InternalExtractIcon16? Any comments to this?

> As a departure from previous release, this time I'm only going > to include a small summary of changes since the last release: > -- A4: New screenshots page is available for comment I looked at the screenshots. Looks very impressive but very problematic.. Why problematic? simple: most of those applications requires many tweaks to run. Example: try to install Office 2k on the latest wineHQ. You'll have lots of problems installing it, and even if you install, you'll need to do "reboot" - which is not available unless you have CrossOver office. Same goes to many applications which have screenshots there.... So think what will happend if users will download wine-snapshot and won't be able to install the apps that appears in the screenshots? lots of anger, flames, false bug reports, you name it ;) Thanks, Hetz

Winelib - MFC application
by Ronald MALLET 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I'm currently trying to build an MFC based-applications using Winelib. I (almost) successfully compiled the MFC, and get an mfc.dll.so file. Here are the few troubles I had or still have: First for compiling the MFC: --------------------------------------- - I had to uncomment PSH_WIZARD97 in /wine/prsht.h - The packing pragmas looks handled by gcc-3.2.1, so we may remove all modifications made by winemaker - I had to force winnt.h to use nameless struct and unions - I added #define EDEADLOCK EDEADLK in /wine/msvcrt/errno.h - I linked _alloca() to alloca() function - There was a conflict on HKEY type between <afxres.h> and <wine/windef.h> - Some little others syntax issues like: __try __expect, asm {}, unsigned short(x), (LPCTSTR)CString ==> it worked then, using some additional defines as suggested in the Winelib documentation page. Then for my MFC-based application: ------------------------------------------------- - Winemaker tries to link with libmfc.so, but by default we have a dll, so i just symlink it to mfc.dll.so - I first tried winemaker default settings on my app, but it creates two targets with the same name (the dll and the executables), so I had to override this using interactive mode - Then I encountered the MFC initialization problems (a crash in dllname() when loading my application .so), so I added the wrapper using winemaker - Even when using the wrapper, it crashes at startup when trying to load my application dll. - The backtrace is something like dllname (from libmfc.so) operator new ... Init (from /gcc-3.2.1/libstdc++-v3/src/ios.cc:211) ___static_initialization_and_destruction_ ... _dl_open ...

Any suggestion ? - I then tried to remove linking with libmfc.so but using only the mfc.dll.so (I had to fill the mfc.dll.spec file to export all the symbols, using weird mangling rules), but it then hook in the msvcrt.dll in an infinite _lock loop ?

I think this statement has to be tightened. I am sure you know exactly what you mean, Alexandre, and I believe that I and many others do. However I think we need to mention that one needs to consider that the strings passed in may be bad, e.g. unterminated. Either one uses that actual measured lengths of the strings when allocating or one checks the lengths of the strings against the allocated space. In particular one DOES NOT allocate on the basis of some wishy-washy documentation statement or a hard-coded constant that the caller may well have ignored. > > -- > Alexandre Julliard > julliard(a)winehq.com > > Bill Medland

How to fix display errors?
by Ferenc Wagner 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hello, I decided to forward a previous post of mine from the users' newsgroup, since I got no answers there, and consider this a developer question: I'd like to correct some bugs. Having read the Developers' Guide didn't help me much: the relevant topic was empty (the program runs, but shows some errors). Perhaps you can point me in the right direction (I mean: source file in the tree)? Below is the article. See a screenshot at http://afavant.elte.hu/~wferi/wine.png (25K). It exhibits several slight problems. 1. The scrollable list has no border (Suchanfrage window, above the Phrasensuche checkbox). 2. The text input field (with Goethe in it) has no border, too. 3. The "Minimize" button is misplaced: clicking to the right of it invokes its action, the button itself is not clickable. 4. The little toolbar window to the right looks strange, but what is worse, it is sticky: appears on every viewport (It's not managed by fvwm2, like the main window.) The Suchanfrage subwindow is not sticky. While executing the program, I get the following messages: err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 0465 wp=0000004c lp=412c1d70 fixme:accel:CreateAcceleratorTableA should check that the accelerator descriptions are valid, return NULL and SetLastError() if not. fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub err:statusbar:StatusWindowProc unknown msg 0486 wp=0000 lp=00000000 err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 0486 wp=00000000 lp=00000000 fixme:accel:CreateAcceleratorTableA should check that the accelerator descriptions are valid, return NULL and SetLastError() if not. fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub fixme:mdi:MDIRefreshMenu partially function stub Is there anything I can do about the above (cosmetic) errors? I use a recent CVS checkout (Wine 20021125), and I know C programming, but have no experience with graphics and Windows. Feri.

Screenshots v0.1
by Brian Vincent 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I've gotten a lot of great screenshots over the past few weeks. I've put together a preview you can find here: http://www.theshell.com/~vinn/ss/preview.html Be warned, the format isn't the best, the thumbnails aren't even close to optimized, I only looked at it in one browser, and it might even steal your lunch money. Random notes: - there's lots of great shots not on the thumbnails page - most likely there's a reason, not 800x600, didn't scale well, or I simply overlooked it - you can find all of the screenshots at: http://www.theshell.com/~vinn/ss - the images predominantly are PNG, though there are quite a few JPEGs. No GIF. - Special thanks to: Thomas Wickline Carlos Lozano David Buchmann Guido Grazioli Ender Juliasz Gonera Michael Krasucki Mike Hearn Rick Romero Robert Shade Rory King Tony Lambregts tavis Okay, if you've read this far maybe you're expecting something to prompt discussion. One of the things you'll notice is there's a lot of screenshots on there there almost certainly don't run out of the box. In some instances the folks above listed exactly what they had to do to make it run. Personally, I don't think it matters. We already have the apps DB and the proposed "Gold/Silver/.." apps list, I really don't think we need more than a link to one of those. Also, a few weeks ago there was a lot of discussion of a new WineHQ site. Any progress on that front? -Brian Vincent

Since the do exists on some platforms (OpenBSD and FreeBSD) the obvious place to put them would be library/port.c like any other function that doesn't exists on all platforms. Just remember to add detect in configure.ac and use the HAVE_ macro in library/port.c As for (re)writing them. Why not just borrow the source from FreeBSD or OpenBSD. They both have licenses compatible with Wine. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Adding support for xxx_test.exe all
by Francois Gouget 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

When running the tests on Windows you can either do 'xxx_test.exe' which gives you a list of the available tests for this executable, or 'xxx_test.exe foo' which runs test foo, and only test foo.

Wine REALLY emulates Windows (was: Texture corruption in Wine)
by David D. Hagood 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I am continually amazed at how well Wine emulates Windows - for example, my recent experiences show Wine has the whole "Just re-install it, it will fix it" thing down pat! 8^> To recap the story thus far - Several months ago, I was able to play Halflife- Opposing force all the way through under Wine. Then my motherboard died, and I replaced it with an SMP mobo. I had to do some tweaks to my kernel, my X server, and to Wine to get everybody back up. But when I was done, and I went to install Halflife-Blue shift, the textures were screwed up. So were the textures in OpFor. I tried booting UMP, I tried scraping the fake Windows install and reinstalling, to no avail. Friday, I downloaded Transgamings WineX in an effort to remove a few variables from the matrix. WineX ran BlueShift and OpFor flawlessly - exonerating my X server, kernel and system. So, this morning I set about trying to find out what changed in Wine. I went back and pulled Wine as of the 20020902 tag, and rebuilt. Then I did my usual install method: rm /usr/local/winelibs /usr/local/include/wine /usr/local/bin/win* -R && make install Still had no luck with Halflife - still had corrupted textures. So, I moved my fake Windows and .wine directories out of the way, created new, empty directories, copied my old .wine/config over, re-installed the Wine default registry, and re-installed Blueshift. And it worked. OK, maybe the install had problems. I moved my new fake windows and .wine directories out of the way, and moved the old directories back. And still, it worked. All textures were fine. Note: at this point, I should have had the OLD install of Blueshift back in place, and the old registry. The very one that didn't work five paragraphs ago. So, I went to my image of the current CVS of Wine, rebuilt it, and once again did a rm /usr/local/winelibs /usr/local/include/wine /usr/local/bin/win* -R && make install. And still, it worked. In theory, I should have been back to where I started from. Except where I started from didn't work. Where I was did. Now, I am at a loss as to what could have changed from the non-working state to the working state. Like I said, Wine has the whole Windows "mysterious changes" thing down pat! But it works. As Bugs Bunny said, "I don't ask questions, I just have fun." So, I am off to kill some headcrabs. But for the life of me I don't know HOW what I did fixed it....

It's workable, A better solution would be to port the source code to the LP64 model. It is entirely possible for to support all of LP32 (Win32 and "Unix32"), LLP64 (Win64) and LP64 ("Unix64") in a sane way. I don't think it is worth the effort to support LLP64 beyond having a "-flong-int" flag to get a working version to show as a prototype that porting is indeed possible. > and Win64 will not > bother us for some time... True. Microsoft doesn't seems that eager pushing Win64 either...

That solves the libc problem however compiling with -flong-int also means that it will be impossible to call other libraries, which means that it will be a little hard to use Unix specific library to have extra functionallity under Unix. But sure having a -flong-int flags is nice but it doesn't solve all problems. Perhaps would be good to push for its addition even now, it might take a few years before standard GNU C installation supports it.

"not enough space in GDI heap" / forking vstlib programs
by Kjetil S. Matheussen 01 Dec '02

01 Dec '02

Hello, as I just announced I'm developing a vst-server, that loads and runs windows vst plugins. But after loading and unloading a lot of plugins, I get lots of "err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes" errors. I understand that the cause of this error is caused by a memory leak in a windows program. However, in the vst-server, there is no way to control memory leaks in the plug-ins, as those are made by various groups and persons. So is there a way around this error. Doing a fork for each new plug-in perhaps? Is that safe? I want to do that also to avoid having a plug-in crash the vst-server. --

The C programming langauge doesn't really specify the sizes of the various integer types. It it up to the ABI. In Win32 the only really problematic difference I the one you meantion above ie the size(wchar_t) problem. It can be "solved" as specified above with -fwchar-short. The price is that you can't call the C library "wchar" functions or for that matter any library functions that depend of wchar. Not that big deal though. In the Win64 ABI Microsoft in it infinity "wisdom" has choosen the type long to be 32 bit instead of 64 bit like in most (all?) Unix API on 64 bit platforms. The Microsoft Win64 choice is called LLP64. That is long long and pointers are 64 bit. The Unix64 choice is called LP64. That is long and pointers are 64 bits. So this means that if we add an option similar to -fwchar-short, say -flong-int or -flong-32bit or whatever we can call we can't call the any library on the platform since it would could ABI problems. :-) So that is why we "never" will support 100% Win64 source compatibillity on 64bit platforms. We can (and presumably) will support a LP64 variant of Win64 but it won't be 100% source compatible.

What about winxx or even better winapi? Windows uses the same header files for both Win32 and Win64. It is Win32 if _WIN32 is defined and Win64 if _WIN64 is defined. On 64 bit platforms we can never get 100% Win32 source compabillity because of compiler problems. If fact we can't get 100% Win64 support either for the same reasons so I guess Wine on 64-bit platforms will be some kind of pseudo mode. So we probably should have the same include directory for Win32 and Win64.

OK, I've now read the docs and I understand this a bit better now. My next awkward question is: I can see that this is necessary for some apps which have C++ static initialisers, or which load libraries that have C++ static initialisers, but why does that mean it's necessary for PuTTY? PuTTY contains no C++, and as far as I know it uses no libraries _except_ standard Win32 API ones. Surely it should be possible _for these particular applications_ to compile them as standalone binaries? Or does Winelib currently only support doing things the inconvenient way?

Texture problems under Wine - more info
by David D. Hagood 01 Dec '02

01 Dec '02

As I've stated in previous mailings, I've started having problems getting HalfLife to run under Wine - while at one time I was able to complete all of HalfLife - Opposing Force running under Wine, now I am unable to get the textures to render correctly. I have more information - I subscribed to Transgaming, downloaded the current WineX, installed HalfLife under it, and it works correctly. So, that would tend to exonerate my libGL, my system, and HalfLife, and leave only Wine as the suspect in the problem. So, the question is "What is the difference between the WineX OpenGL library and the Wine OpenGL library?" I hope to do more research on this over the weekend, but thought I'd post this now in case it rang any bells with somebody else.

SetWindowHookEx

I was just looking at shell32.dll and wondered if it should implement A->U as it almost completely consistently implements U->A. So I guess this should all be changed then.

[RFC] Wine headers
by Dimitrie O. Paun 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Alexandre, Patrik brought up the header location sometime ago, in this thread: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/10/index.html#540 At the time, I thought it is a bit premature, that we have other things to do. Now I realize that this is one of those highly visible external things, that would be a _lot_ better to fix before people start using Winelib. Otherwise will piss people off when we change, or we will not change because people are already using the headers. Both versions are not good, and I think we can fix them now without too much pain. Here is my proposal: ${prefix}/include/win32 -- standard Win32 headers ${prefix}/include/msvcrt -- MS Visual C Runtime library ${prefix}/include/wine -- Wine specific headers It is simple (to understand & implement), clean, and pretty. And I think it solved Patrik's problem (even if I can't quite understand what the problem is from the first message :)), plus a bunch of other things (like making it easy to use other headers for the Win32 API, etc). And best of all, it seems to be easily implementable, no? -- Dimi.

[RFC] Winelib enhancements
by Dimitrie O. Paun 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Folks, You are probably familiar with the Winelib page: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Winelib-Apps.html where I describe what one needs to do to compile a Win32 application under Winelib. My original motivation for doing the work was to better understand what inconveniences one has to go through to do the port, and what we can do to eliminate them. Here are my thoughts on the subject, in the build order: Compilation This step require the addition of some flags, and the potential removal of others. Simple to do, and if there is a configure script, quite doable. However, these tweaks are really annoying in the initial stages of the port, and would be so nice if we had a nice compiler wrapper (call it wcc) that would do that behind the scenes, so that the only modification to the makefile would be: -CC=gcc +CC=wcc Q: Alexandre, would you accept such a utility in the tree? Resources These ones are nasty. Programs typically use the windres compiler that compiles a .rc file into a .o file directly, which is later simply linked into the application. We go a different route, by sticking the resources in the .spec.c files, and this entails non-trivial modifications to the makefiles. The ideal option would be to provide a windres compatible command line mode for wrc, so that we can do: -RC=windres +RC=wrc This would mean moving the resources out of the .spec.c file, and exporting the resources variable so we can link it into the .spec.c file. Q: Alexandre, is this acceptable? Does it warrant discussion? Linking Another tricky step, with multiple problems 1. We are missing import libraries. As a result, we can not link with -lwinspool, we need to link with -lwinspool.drv Small change, but it can present nasty problems if you want to submit the patch upstream, to the application maintainers. I understand this one is already on Alexandre's TODO, so we should have a solution to it not before too long. 2. Our linking process is quite different from the "standard" one which uses gcc/ld to do the linking. We generate intermediate files (.spec.c files), and use different flags. Again, the solution for this (to at least help initial porting efforts) would be a wrapper script that does this, that can be used instead of ld. And so the question comes back again, to haunt us: is this needed/wanted/acceptable? Running This is a new step in the process that we introduce. Currently we produce a shared library that requires a wrapper script to start it up. Many considers this (and I might say rightfully so) ugly/bloat/etc. The ideal situation would be to generate regular executables, like all well behaved libraries. Here are a few solutions: 1. An interim step is to improve the wineapploader script so that it can be used by all apps. This is a simple thing to do at the moment, but does not solve the root cause, it just ease the pain a bit. This way you don't need to fight the application maintainers to get such script included in their tree, and having to answer the eternal questions: "WTF is this? I thought that compiling under Winelib would yield an executable that did not need wine. What's the difference as compared to running the Win32 binary directly?" 2. Fix the build process so that we can actually generate regular executables. Thing is, I don't know what's involved in doing so, and I'm afraid only Alexandre knows the answer (hint, hint :)). So a discussion on this topic is needed, just to figure where we want to go from here. Now, this message is meant to elicit discussion on these topics, so that at the end of the day I can gather the conclusions, and track them on TODO page. So do not hesitate to send in your comments. :))) Thanks for your attention, and sorry for the long message. -- Dimi.

since some versions of wine (actually i checked today's version out) I get the following error messages while compiling (i ignored them the last two times, assuming i want ppdebug set to 0 and patching the code that way) : gcc -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -o widl header.o proxy.o utils.o widl.o y.tab.o lex.yy.o -L../../tools/wpp -lwpp -L../../library -lwine -L../../u nicode -lwine_unicode -lfl ../../tools/wpp/libwpp.a(wpp.o)(.text+0x14b): In function `wpp_set_debug': /opt/src/build/wine/tools/wpp/wpp.c:74: undefined reference to `ppdebug' ../../tools/wpp/libwpp.a(lex.yy.o)(.text+0x3533): In function `push_buffer': /opt/src/build/wine/tools/wpp/./ppl.l:1147: undefined reference to `ppdebug' ../../tools/wpp/libwpp.a(lex.yy.o)(.text+0x38c0): In function `pop_buffer': /opt/src/build/wine/tools/wpp/./ppl.l:1232: undefined reference to `ppdebug' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [widl] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/src/build/wine/tools/widl' make[1]: *** [widl] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/src/build/wine/tools' make: *** [tools] Error 2 mIc P.S.: sorry if this mail reaches the list twice, but the first one i send with some private e-mail address and the list moderator will (hopefully) erase it (as he does it every time).

Wine conformance tests with MSVC headers
by Vincent Béron 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Hello, I tried to compile the various conformance tests with MSVC 6.0. There are two different configurations for each project: with MSVC or Wine headers. With the MSVC headers configuration, it doesn't find "wine/test.h" (since wine/include is not in the include path). Is it a known behavior? With the Wine headers configuration, I don't get those errors (but there are a bunch of warnings concerning signed/unsigned comparisons, for which I'll try to send a patch tonight). Vincent

Support has been dropped by whom? Not Red Hat; they are still releasing updates for gcc-2.96-RH. The latest was 18 days ago, https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-200.html > It's update time. I agree, gcc 3.2[.1] is a better choice than gcc-2.96-RH these days. It is very close to compliance with the C++ ABI, and it's an official Gnu release rather than a vendor snapshot. (I'm building wine for the first time with gcc3.2 today, I hope I'm right about it being a better choice :-) - Dan

Hi all, program/winetest doesn't exist anymore. Creating it empty is enough for msvcmaker to work, but is not the proper fix. I don't have the time right now to check all the winetest references in msvcmaker (there are more than i thought). Vincent
