RE: a big fan (now with bad news)
by Jeffrey Sabarese 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

hello there! thanks to all of you who replied to my inquiry about "ies4linux" vs compatibility w/ such "Windows-native" apps as Bradbury "TopStyle", HomeSite, etc... As Joris stated, IE6 sp1 is available at the MS site. I downloaded my own copy, but i haven't tried it yet because i think i "ruined" my WinE this evening. HOW? as my UserID (NOT as root), i "re installed" the [.reg] files in the ies4linux "faux directories" (as in a command such as :: [ wine '../win.reg' ]) . I tried [ yum remove wine ], and then [yum install wine] which went without a hitch, but there's no change in my Primary User (the broken one) HOWEVER, WinE continues to run perfectly under other user accounts, and ROOT. My QUESTION: How do i "restore" my WinE to a working state for my UserID? (because only UserID is affected) I wish to not destroy my Program Files while "repairing" WinE around it--- if possible. >From the primary UserID only, i can NOT launch [ winecfg.exe ] for example in terminal, or anything WinE that i can tell. ([while root, and other users were apparently not affected]) please help me to restore my "existing" Program files setup, if possible. it is no "tragedy" if i can not, but i'd like to try. in any event-- i do need to know how to "restore" it, maintaining program files or not. thank you!! best regards, -JS.

I suggest to use UNICODE from the begining. An example UNICODE console app is "programs/msiexec/*" When you really want to have also an ansi-version (for DOS or win9x as example), you can use TCHAR and test your app with and without "#define UNICODE".

WineConf 2007 Fundraiser proposal
by Tom Wickline 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hello Everyone, On February 14th I made a suggestion on the wine-conf mailing list that we should have a annual Fund Raiser to help raise funds for our annual Conference. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2007-February/000397.html Jeremy replied with his thoughts/suggestions and some back ground info on how the WPF funds have helped in the past. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2007-February/000403.html >From this, I cobbled together a extremely rough Donations page.. Keep in mind this is still very much a work in progress and the language within it needs major revisions. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2007-February/000425.html The current discussion is now on whether or not a $1,000 donation is sufficient for a front page listing for one year since our search rank in so high. Dan suggested that we join adsence, and I replied that I had already suggested this in the past. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2007-February/000437.html At this point there are many undecided questions about the original suggestion of us having a fund raiser, as well as if we should join adsence. If you have a opinion on this subject we would like (even suggest) that you to air them at this time before decisions are made. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2007-February/000440.html Questions: Should we have a annual fundraiser to help with conference expenses? Thus far the consciences is Yes. What is a realistic goal? I believe $10,000 is very doable. What amount should we receive for a front page listing 'gold sponsor'? Is $10,000 to much or to small of a amount? If we decide on $10,000 the goal should be revised to about $25,000 Should the Wine project join the adsence network? With our high google page rank we are practically guaranteed to rake in a mint :D Comments and suggestions are at this time highly suggested! Tom

How complete will Wine ever be for older apps?
by Jules Richardson 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Sort of an open-ended question to developers :) It's obvious that Wine functionality will always lag behind Windows releases somewhat. But how accurate / complete do people think it will eventually be against older Windows releases? Is much development work even still being done on things that don't quite work as expected within apps that were current at the time of say NT4? I'm just trying to build up a picture in my head of whether there will come a day when Wine users can pick an app designed for a previous generation of Windows and expect it to work flawlessly (ignoring things that try to manipulate the hardware directly, I suppose)? Or will there always be incompatibilities? cheers Jules

Re: [DSOUND] Implement a locking mechanism

The direct sound hardware primary buffer > locking support is already in primary.c. You are right, partially, primary.c already has support for it, but that is only used when the application chooses to write to the primary buffer directly, in most cases the primary buffer is only used directly by the directsound mixer, and that's the case this patch is trying to handle. However the problem I have right now is that I miss some magic values so sound is a bit cumbersome, maybe someone with knowledge of dsound knows what I should put in there and be able to help me out a little.

You just need to remove the flag DSDDESC_DONTNEEDPRIMARYLOCK from alsa and make the necessary changes in alsa. The direct sound hardware primary buffer locking support is already in primary.c.
