Should we get rid of the wine-license list?
by Scott Ritchie 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Looking at the archives it appears that wine-license has had very little traffic, to the point where a lot of it is probably not being read when it comes up, since people like me are not subscribed to that list. It seems like a lot of the stuff being sent there should instead go to wine-devel. Thoughts? Scott Ritchie

Hyperthreading and SMP
by Kenneth Porter 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Does WINE have any problem with either Hyperthreading or SMP? I've found that locking the Tribes Vengeance dedicated server to a single logical CPU seems to give me better performance as the server fills with players. CPU usage seems significantly lower (45% versus 65%). Is this likely to be a WINE issue or a TV issue? (TV is based on the Unreal Tournament engine, with the Havok physics engine integrated to handle vehicle. Alas, unlike UT2004, there's no native Linux server for TV.) More here: <http://lists.matureasskickers.net/pipermail/tvservers/2004-December/000186.…> I want to try disabling HT or setting affinity on my co-admin's Win2003 server to see if he sees the same boost.

Re: Support for running Winelib apps directly

Could you please elaborate a bit on what has changed and how it is all glued together? Is the embedded wineapploader Process reused for the main process for easier debugging? Currently when you debug a winelib app under GDB you cannot use wineapploader you need to use wine-kthread/pthread directly, and disable execshild and friends all together. Will that be at all possible now? Do you think it can be easier now for a: let's call it Unix app, to become a winelib application mid-flight. Lets say, when it wants to load a PE plug in DLL. (The way of mono and that Audio program can't recall the name). Could a UnixODBC (elf dynamic lib) force a load on a PE ODBC driver, therefor making the running app a winelib, Like PHP for example? If so could you make a little hello-world example of how it is done? Grate work Free Life Boaz

December 2004 - more patches than you can shake a stick at
by Mike Hearn 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Happy new year everybody! Being the patch fetishist that I am, I couldn't help noticing that in December 2004 we cleared 8mb of patches: that's by far the largest since the current archives began in October 2000. The extra traffic came from a lot of places: - Huge improvements to the Application Database. - The number was also pushed higher by an MSI merge from CodeWeavers. - Some big janitorial patches went in from Michael Stefaniuc - Finally Rob and I were cranking out DCOM patches, and there are of course lots more in the pipeline. Now time for some crystal ball gazing. Here are some interesting patches we might be seeing in 2005: - Completion of the WM rewrite work. Alexandre seems to be making great progress on this, which will let us fix many of the odd visual corruption problems we've been plagued with for so long. It'll also let us remerge Alexs winedesktop patch, giving us a real desktop window that is used for all apps, at last. It should have many other benefits too: fixing the flickering in the Half Life menus and allowing us to support the NETWM fullscreen protocol. This should let us resolve many instances of the "my game starts but I can't type" problem. - Lots more DCOM code. Huw Davies is hacking on getting widl to produce a stdole32.tlb file, once that's in we can start really nailing InstallShield to the wall. We will hopefully get this and the thread-affinity patches in the next few months, which should mean for the first time we can run InstallShield 6 installers perfectly, out of the box. Support for newer InstallShields will come as time permits of course. - More MSI improvements! CodeWeavers are continuing to work on this so it should develop nicely even though the iTunes installer work has been completed. Office 2003 will also motivate this. It's being used by at least one commercial app porting project as well. - Support for running Winelib apps directly, so we can get rid of the .exe.so extensions/shell wrapper scripts, and produce "raw" ELF binaries. They'll still need the wine loader app to be present of course, but it should all be invisible and behind the scenes. Vincent Beron and I have been working on this in the last week or so, and we just need to finish it off and convince Alexandre the extra assembly is worth it! :) Who knows what the new year will bring? More apps working out of the box, that's for sure! Have fun! thanks -mike

Approving of the WINEprobe initiative
by David Gümbel 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Hello everybody, - as my colleague Stefan Munz has already pointed out recently[1] on this list, Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stutgart GmbH (WRS) and us (ITOMIG) are launching an initiative called WINEprobe[2]. Its goal is to make local software vendors aware of the potential bussiness opportunity in a WINE-based port or a WINE/Linux version of their software. WRS is quite committed as far as Open Source is concerned[3], and is pushing OSS in the region since quite a time. It has co-organized, among others, the KDE World Summit 2004 in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart[4]. The Perlworkshop 6.0 , GUADEC6 (GNOME Conference) [5], ApacheCon Europe and more than 40 other Open Source Events in the Stuttgart Region are organized or supported by the WRS as well. (You can find a description of WRS at the bottom of this mail.) In order to make the WINEprobe initiative beneficial for the WINE project as much as possible, three things are in the making: 1) At the option of the respective software vendor whose product we'll be analyzing for WINE compatibility, Application Database Entries will be maintained by us once a software product has been analyzed for its compatibility with WINE. 2) Reports of successful porting or migration projects will be given back to the community as success stories. My colleage is already working on merging some success stories supplied by third parties (see [6]). 3) WRS has offered to help out in hosting the WINE developers conference Wineconf in 2005 in the Stuttgart area[7]. Mr. Schmid from WRS has asked me (please see the mail below) to provide some information about this initiative to the WINE community. He thinks (and I agree ;) that it would help us a great deal in making the campaign a success if the WINE community somehow "officially" (as official as a community can be :) approved of this initiative. So my question, on behalf of Mr. Schmid, is simply if there are objections against us saying that this initiative is approved of by the WINE community? As an important sidenote, I permit myself to emphasize that all of our above mentioned efforts (1-3) to support the WINE project and its community are fully independent of the answer of this question. Most particularily, the hosting offer stands, and the commitment there won't be lowered if the WINEprobe is not approved of by the community. However, I feel that a successful WINEprobe will be a benefit for the WINE project as well. If there are any questions open, please feel free to ask. Cheers, David ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: AW: Update on WRS offer & Stuttgart University Date: Montag 20 Dezember 2004 14:46 From: "Hans-Ulrich Schmid" <hans-ulrich.schmid(a)region-stuttgart.de> To: David Gümbel <david.guembel(a)itomig.de> Dear Mr. Gümbel, as you know, ITOMIG and Stuttgart Region is planning to start a new initiative for small and medium software companies called "WINEprobe". "WINEprobe" will help these companies to learn more about the WINE-compatibility of their software products. It would be very helpful, if you can ask the WINE-community to support this new initiative officially. The hosting offer of the Stuttgart Region will not be affected by any way of the decision of the community in the point of supporting the "WINEprobe" or not.

loading native binaries
by Ivan Leo Puoti 01 Jan '05

01 Jan '05

Alexandre, your patch doesn't perform relocation, and this causes and access violation in secdrv.sys To perform relocation, we need to be able to write to memory, but there appears to be some sort of problem with this that causes wine to hang. I'm attaching your original patch, plus an updated one that Laurent Pinchar and I have come up with, it should work *in theory*, but it doesn't. Laurent has suggested that maybe it would if the image was aligned to a page boundary, but I'm to tired to look into it now. I'm cc'ing wine-devel, ideas/patches welcome. Ivan.
