IRC Log of channel #winehq
by Dieter Komendera 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi people, I was hanging around in the winehq irc channel for one and a half month or so. I recognized that many questions are asked frequently. So I want to ask you, what you think about an irc-bot in the channel, that logs everything that's written. The idea is to create archives (like the mailinglist archives, but daily) which everyone can read and maybe find a solution for his/her problem. Also users who don't use irc, would have access easily. Maybe thats not a new idea, but I couldn't find anything about this in the mailinglists archive. So, what do you think about this? Best regards, Dieter Komendera, ircnick: komi

These are the only two that matter for the error message and return value of CoInitializeEx.

Undefined references
by Robert Lunnon 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Under solaris I get some undefined references popping up from yesterdays cvs (that I'm not used to seeing). Undefined first referenced symbol in file GetStartupInfoA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o) GetModuleHandleA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o) GetCommandLineA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o) WinMain ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o) I'm used to seeing main undefined in libraries (presumably because the abblications using the dlls define the symbol), but not this collection. the wine executable fails with wine: failed to initialize: ld.so.1: wine: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/cfw/wine/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: symbol GetCommandLineA: referenced symbol not found Which seems to suggest it shouldn't be this way. Apparently there is a library that isn't being linked properly somewhere. Bob

CreateFile access/sharing problem
by Michael Ost 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Any suggestions for how to handle a difference in file access and sharing handling between Wine (20050830) and WinXP? A program demonstrating the problem is attached below. A 3rd party installer program for a VST plugin is calling CreateFile with dwDesiredAccess = 0x1f01ff and dwSharedMode = FILE_SHARE_WRITE. It then calls ReadFile, which fails in Wine (error 5) but succeeds in WinXP. My "solution" (polite term) was to force GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE access in ntdll/NtCreateFile if the sharing type is FILE_SHARE_WRITE. I have not been able to figure out from the header files what named constants the program used for dwDesiredAccess, so I hard coded it with the values the program used in my example. But I did notice that FILE_ALL_ACCESS is a different value in Wine and my VC98 headers from DevStudio 6. In Wine it is: (STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED|SYNCHRONIZE|0x1ff) In VC98: (STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED|SYNCHRONIZE|0x3ff) Is this a Wine bug? The "access" and "sharing" parameters to CreateFile are making me feel stupid. I read and read and read the docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/… and still can't really figure out what they are supposed to do! I am pretty sure that my hack wouldn't stand and would love to hear the right way to fix this problem. Thanks... mo #include <stdio.h> // printf #include <windows.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 2) { puts("usage: wine file-access-test.exe.so PATH"); puts("Tests the access used by the Ivory Library Tools program that doesn't work with wine."); return(1); } HANDLE file = ::CreateFile(argv[1], 0x1f01ff, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); if (file != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { DWORD bytesRead; char bufr[32]; // passes in winxp; fails (error 5) in wine if (::ReadFile(file, bufr, sizeof(bufr), &bytesRead, NULL)) printf("Read %ld bytes\n", bytesRead); else printf("ReadFile error: %d\n", ::GetLastError()); ::CloseHandle(file); } else printf("CreateFile error: %d\n", ::GetLastError()); return(0); }

Hello, This might solve people's concerns about the difficulty to use/search in bugzilla. You can save queries, make fast search in comments thanks to the local database (use top right search field), etc. Of course I discovered this application right after having triaged some hundreds bugs... http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7491 Deskzilla 1.0, a desktop client for the Bugzilla bug tracking system. Deskzilla delivers features for greater productivity and an improved working environment for the users of Bugzilla. -- Jonathan Ernst <Jonathan(a)ErnstFamily.ch>

arts broken
by Christian Gmeiner 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi all. I am quite new to wine and i love it very much, but there are some things to improve. For instance i want to use arts as soundoutput, but when it is enabled, wine crash at startup. Is anybody working on it to fix it? If not, i would like to try to do the job.

Documentation of Parallel and Serial port configuration?
by Holly Bostick 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi again, Now that all my 'issues' about installing Wine 20050930 are resolved, I'm running a clean install like a completely new user and taking notes so I can document what *real* new users might get confused by, and what they need to do (as such a long-term Wine user myself, there are a lot of things that used to need to be done that are no longer needed, and things that now need to be done that didn't need to before) to get the Wine base system running optimally. (So far, Wine is doing quite well, btw-- I've only run winecfg and set up my drives, but the several sub-operations that I know needed to occur, such as creating the .wine directory, and correctly symlinking within dosdevices all did occur correctly, which is quite nice). The thing is, there's a question on wine-users as to how to configure parallel ports in the absence of the config file. Since I was running winecfg, I looked, and I don't see any configuration possible for parallel (or serial, since that might also be needed) ports. I myself don't use my ports, nor do I use any programs that need to connect to said ports, so I can't confirm that they would be automatically detected and configured (although I would imagine/deeply hope that they are, if the ports are properly set up on the system as a whole). However, naturally this user is not the only one who's going to want to know if they have to edit system.reg or something to configure their ports, and I certainly don't want to guess or assume in the docs. There's not even any 'status' output in winecfg, saying that there are parallel ports or serial ports detected and where, so how can a user verify said ports, and what must they do to change the port configuration if necessary? This is probably also a valid question for external MIDI ports, which are important to the audio community (which seems to need Windows apps since the native pro sound apps are not yet quite up to par). Any further information appreciated. Holly

How to generate a code page file?
by Juan Lang 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Okay, one more spam. I want to generate a new code page file for code page 20261, the T.61 (Teletex) code page. The comments in the c_*.c files in libs/unicode say the files are generated, so I was wondering.. by what? There's no file for 20261 on the unicode.org web site, but I wrote a Windows program that spits out the encoding of each unicode character in 20261. I'll happily mangle it to produce the format desired by whatever converter program.. unless there isn't one. Thanks, --Juan __________________________________ Yahoo!

RH8 spec for 20050830
by Michael Ost 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Can someone who understands wine build issues review this RPM spec file for me, please? The RPMs for Redhat 8 are getting pretty long in the tooth on the Wine downloads page... dating back to May 24. I wanted to build a source RPM to work with, so I modified the 20050524 spec file for 20050830. It seems that there are changes in fonts and documentation. I removed some lines that were keeping rpmbuild from working. But I feel like I am tampering with issues beyond my grasp. Do the attached changes to the spec file look ok (temporarily marked with "todo")? Any gotchas? Anything missing? Thanks... mo --- wine-20050524-1rh8winehq.spec 2005-05-30 19:48:05.000000000 -0700 +++ wine-20050830-1rh8winehq.spec 2005-09-26 11:46:08.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -%define DATE 20050524 +%define DATE 20050830 Summary: A Windows 16/32 bit emulator.
