Correct, wine will compile and run without a lot of features and never warn you that they don't exist. See this wiki page for an example of what your include/config.h file should probably look like: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages I just added the Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu Dapper sections yesterday, and I believe that they are at least 95% accurate, although I might have missed one somewhere. If someone can add the package names required for a gentoo build (or possibly create and maintain wine-cvs packages with all of the necessary deps???), it would probably help out many users trying to compile from source.

ddraw design flaw
by Tomas Carnecky 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

I have found a design flaw in ddraw and described it in my 'World of Warcraft 0.10 Public Test Real (PTR)' thread. Why has nobody adressed this issue? In my eyes it is a severe design flaw if an application can't unload ddraw.dll without side effects (especially if this side-effect is that all opengl/directx applications are unusable after that). So please, will someone explain me why nobody wants to fix this? It's nothing bad now, but if WoW still loads Survey.dll (and thus ddraw.dll) in the final public release many people will demand a fix. Very few people play on the PTR, but there are quite a lot who play WoW under wine.. and they will not be happy if they can't play anymore. tom

Re: [Bugzilla] Add note to not paste logs and back traces.

IMO what people are currently posting in bugzilla do not require such recommendations. Rein.

RFC: Make SetThreadContext work properly
by Dimi Paun 12 Mar '06

Hi Alexandre, >From a quick look at the code, it seems that you've already fixed the problem addressed by Mike's patch: http://wiki.winehq.org/Make_SetThreadContext_work_properly revision 1.53 date: 2006/01/11 20:36:17; author: julliard; state: Exp; lines: +38 -24 Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.org> ntdll: Handle NtSetContextThread on the client side (as far as possible) when setting the context of the current thread. Just checking so I can remove the patch from the wiki if it's no longer relevant. -- Dimi Paun <dimi(a)lattica.com> Lattica, Inc.

My guess why Munich doesn't like Wine
by Dan Kegel 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

After poking at the apps they tested with, the conclusion is: they wanted something that could run Access and Oracle client apps, and Wine just wasn't there yet. It still isn't, judging by my quick tests. Given that the world kind of treats this as a must, perhaps it could be added as a criterion for a 1.0 release. Say, where's the existing page describing our release criteria? - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Oracle Express Client under Wine - install fails in advapi.CreateService
by Dan Kegel 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

At the risk of posting too much information, here's another roadblock faced by an important potential user. keeptool.com's hora.exe (one of the apps needed by the european government desktop migration) is an Oracle DBA helper tool, and testing it means connecting to an Oracle database. That means, I think, installing the Oracle client library under Wine. Sadly, this fails during install; the installer claims that advapi.CreateService is crashing. ( See http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4802 ) Somebody with a little free time could probably learn more by adding more trace statements in CreateService. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

spss can't even install...
by Dan Kegel 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

I heard that SPSS was one of the apps governments like (so they crunch statistics -- who knew? :-), so I tried running the free eval. It wouldn't even install. The problems were already described in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4700 Looks like an msi problem, but there might be something more general wrong; all wine apps hang for about twenty seconds at a certain point during the install, which is pretty strange. - Dan p.s. one downside of using wine to run firefox as your main browser is it's a bit more dangerous to do the rm -rf ~/.wine needed to do a really clean install of a test app :-) so this test was done with a fairly cluttered fake wine directory. But it seems to match the results in the PR. -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

"IE5 or higher required". Grr.
by Dan Kegel 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

I heard KeepTool was an app used by some government developers, so I tried installing the free trial from http://keeptool.com. Sadly, the installer complained I needed IE5 or later. The registry key trick I've been using, [Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer] "Version"="6.0.2900.2180" didn't seem to do the trick this time. Any suggestions on how to get past that? Thanks, Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

Can't run DirectX games on x86_64 biarch Linux
by Christian Schneider 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Hi all. About half a year ago I replaced my old desktop by an AMD64 box and my previous x86 Linux from Scratch (LFS) installation by a x86_64 multilib LFS. And since then I'm not able to run any DirectX title anymore that used to work before. This is the way I usually compile wine (GCC 3.4.4): ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-CVS20060307 \ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib && make depend && make && su -c "make install" Here are some games that used to work on my old LFS, their behaviour and the error messages. I've also attached a short log of each game to this messages. All these logs have been recorded with the CVS version of wine from 2006/03/05. Age of Empires 2 starts up, I can hear sound. When I click on "Single Player", the game hangs with the following message: err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 24 bytes in thread 0009 eip 55726262 esp 55ca0fe8 stack 0x55ca1000-0x55db0000 Backgammon Pro is an older (7 years or so) backgammon game, quite simple and 2D, but uses DirectDraw. It crashes at startup: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x5574d040 "directory.c: dir_section" wait timed out in thread 000b, blocked by 000c, retrying (60 sec) err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x55701230 Diablo 2 VidTest (D2VidTest.exe) runs fine and suggests Direct3D for rendering. When I click on the ok-button to quit, it keeps hanging: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x6ffa0730 "?" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000a, retrying (60 sec) Diablo 2 crashes at startup after some time: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x5574d6c0 "virtual.c: csVirtual" wait timed out in thread 0010, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec) err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000194 flags 0 addr 0x55701230 Half-Life crashes at startup: err:seh:setup_exception nested exception on signal stack in thread 0009 eip 55725f43 esp 55589c90 stack 0x55ca1000-0x55db0000 Monkey Island 4 (OpenGL-mode) crashes at startup: err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 240 bytes in thread 0009 eip 557013e6 esp 55ca0f10 stack 0x55ca1000-0x55db0000 StarCraft starts to the title menu, but clicking on "Single Player" crashes it: err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 276 bytes in thread 0009 eip 557013e6 esp 55ca0eec stack 0x55ca1000-0x55db0000 WarCraft 3 (OpenGL-mode) doesn't show up anything, just hangs silently. As you can see, the most common errors are err:seh:setup_exception and err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection. I've also done some more tests with other games like Revolt, Anno 1503, Half-Life 2, and the errors all look alike. I have tried the following things to solve the problem: * Deleted my ~/.wine, over and over again ;-) * Compiled wine without any optimization flags * Compiled wine on a x86 Debian box and copied the installation over * Copied my ~/.wine to that Debian box, where most of the games run fine * Tried different wine versions, starting with pre-0.9 versions, ending with the latest CVS version * Used winetools to setup an environment with many native DLLs. Installation of most of the software including IE worked fine, but did not help though. * Searched this mailing list archive and the web for similar errors Something is definitely going wrong with this. Anybody an idea? I would appreciate any help. Cheers, Christian Schneider
