Was reading through the newest news and wondered about Transgaming's fix.
by Joe Millenbach 25 Feb '03

Did I read that correctly, in that they fixed whatever issues Wine has with glibc 2.3? So that issue with threads being different would be fixed with this? And if the above is true then are they planning to submit this to the Wine project or is this only for thier version?

Re: Don't use -Wpointer-arith if it produces excessive warnings

Same on RH 6.2. But it's actually bug(s) in string.h and a better way IMHO is just fix it, instead of silencing warnings if a user is *really* annoyed by that avalanche of warnings. -- Dmitry.

I think we'd better shouldn't we look in <%sysdir%>\system32\autoexec.wine instead (that's where NT puts the autoexec.nt files that cmd.exe loads on startup) ? A+ -- Eric Pouech

Re: wine/dlls/x11drv x11drv_main.c

It crashed every time when I closed an app, not just "sometimes" :( And I think maybe exchange the calling order of XCloseIM and XCloseDisplay is a better method than just comments out XCloseIM ( I think this will lead to some other problems). --- Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)wine.codeweavers.com> wrote: > ChangeSet ID: 7168 > CVSROOT: /opt/cvs-commit > Module name: wine > Changes by: julliard(a)wine.codeweavers.com 2003/01/29 > 19:08:53 > > Modified files: > dlls/x11drv : x11drv_main.c > > Log message: > XCloseIM sometimes crashes in Xlib, don't call it. > > Patch: http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?id=7168 > > Old revision New revision Changes Path > 1.67 1.68 +1 -1 > wine/dlls/x11drv/x11drv_main.c > > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Rebuilding font retrics each time Wine starts.
by J. Grant 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Hi, Is there a reason the "font metrics" are rebuilt every day or so? (when I start to run a program with wine) I am using cvs 20030115 Regards JG

Either we need to fix that doc, or we need to add a controllet for wine itself, so the list is never empty, or we need to make control.exe put up a dialog box saying "no control panel thingies installed". - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

According to the TransGaming docs, there are still a number of functions to fill in... I would be interested in seeing a patch no matter how much/little is implemented ... because my main aim in getting rid of the fault handler is so that the x11drv can be ported to Windows... David
