Link or rename wcmd.exe to cmd.exe?
by Thomas Kho 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I'd like to restart this old thread <http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2005/05/index.html#165> which brings up the point that there are applications that hard-code cmd.exe and (sometimes intentionally) ignore COMSPEC. One example is Perl, which has the following comment in win32/win32.c: /* we don't use COMSPEC here for two reasons: * 1. the same reason perl on UNIX doesn't use SHELL--rampant and * uncontrolled unportability of the ensuing scripts. * 2. PERL5SHELL could be set to a shell that may not be fit for * interactive use (which is what most programs look in COMSPEC * for). */ I'm currently looking into what would be required for something like a symlink to wcmd.exe, but at the same time I'm wondering the historical reasons for choosing 'wcmd' and if it should be changed to just 'cmd'.

Oh wait, this is not necessarilly correct. Considered that Direct3D came with DirectX 3.0 (I think) IDirect3D(1) isn't necessarily linked to IDirectDraw(1). I will add some more tests to check for that, do not apply this patch for now

About your added FIXME: Changing the Parameter-Order or display some Parameter inside the Bracket and some Parameter outside the Bracket will confuse other Developer. Never do that. I also suggest to add the stubs only, when needed by an App. When you want to implement the Functions / COM-Interfaces, it might be a good Idea to add a seperate sourcefile.

Re: wine's fullscreen code has no effect on metacity

This is forwarded because I forgot to CC it... Sorry ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Neal Gompa <ngompa13(a)gmail.com> Date: Jul 5, 2006 5:54 PM Subject: Re: wine's fullscreen code has no effect on metacity To: Vincent Povirk <madewokherd+d41d(a)gmail.com> I do not know if this helps, but on some games, Wine correctly activates fullscreen mode in metacity, but in others, it just resizes the screen and gets stuck that way... For example, Sim City 3000. Ubuntu Breezy and Fedora Core 5 cannot seem to properly go into fullscreen mode. But when running Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? metacity properly activates fullscreen mode with it.

It's easy enough to submit a few smaller patches. If you do so, you'll avoid having to resend everything when there's a small problem with your patch, and as smaller patches are easier to read, there's more chance some of them will be accepted in to the tree.
