Is it possible to add a function to libwine that contains this code and then forward both these API to that one? Then you don't have the code duplication. - Reece

For instance, the Visual C++ 6 EULA http://kegel.com/wine/isv/visual-studio-6-EULA.html says in section 4.1 that any app … [View More]

winhelp, Vector NTI, molecular biologists
by Misha Koshelev 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi everybody, So as you all know I've been working on various bug fixes throughout wine, with my most significant contributions to date being MSI OLE automation support and implementation of http protocol support in urlmon. This involvement was driven by my initial experiences of getting a key program used by molecular biologists, Invitrogen's Vector NTI, to install on wine with a fairly convoluted shell script and submitting my first patch to fix a crash with this program; Dan Kegel helped me … [View More]iron out this first patch a lot and furthermore his comments about how it'd be nice if such a complicated shell script was not necessary with wine got me started with my other patches and the rest, as they say, is history. So why, you may ask, am I sending all this in an email to wine-devel? The short answer is that this is a shameless email to see if I might motivate someone to work on our winhelp implementation a bit, as it is currently completely useless with Vector NTI. This seems like a fairly significant task, and my obligations at school/work have recently kicked up quite a bit, making it unlikely I will be able to take it on anytime soon. However, I hope to motivate someone with these reasons: (i) I feel like I've certainly been doing (and will continue to do) my part in helping out wine, and if this in any case motivates someone looking for a development direction I would certainly not object; and (ii) My ultimate vision/goal has been to have Vector NTI run so well that I could approach Invitrogen and see if they might at the very least say something to that effect on their Web site ("add wine + linux as a supported platform"), if not package Vector NTI a la Google Picassa, which would be great publicity for wine. Also, as you can see from the comments on my ubuntuforums howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347095 for a lot of molecular biologists, Vector NTI is the only reason they have to dual-boot/use VMWare at all (full-disclaimer: this is not 100% true for myself). So you could help perhaps a fairly small but non-insignificant group of people by doing some work on winhelp. Although Vector NTI is a rather large set of programs, currently I believe the only things keeping it from installing/working to a "gold" level according to winehq definitions are (i) winhelp and (ii) either MFC42 implementation (required for WSH to install properly; I suppose only a few functions prob are really required, but I'm not sure how good an idea having a very small stub MFC42 would be) or JScript support in wine. Either item in (ii) seems like a very significant undertaking, but (i) seems doable and prob. necessary for a lot of apps. So anyhow just my attempt to influence someone to start working on winhelp. Sorry for cluttering your inboxes. Misha [View Less]

Correct me if I am wrong on this, but I have a few questions. And I apologise if I ask some stupid questions, as I don't understand how the Wine loader works.

Hmm. Cider and the LGPL
by Dan Kegel 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

http://www.linux-community.de/story?storyid=23294 and http://www.macnews.de/news/102145.html mention that some users are using Cider from one game to run a second game on the Mac. The game vendors are upset, and are saying they'll do something to make that harder. There is some question about whether Cider includes LGPL components of Wine, and whether there are any violations lurking there. I imagine our friends at Cedega would instinctively avoid such infringement, but accidents might happen.… [View More]

Hi Just thought I'd share this with you all. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=42069 For those of you that haven't heard I know FarCry works with wine I'm not sure about the other 2 but it could be worth making them work if they don't as a PR exercise especally if they work under Ceider Any hoo I should be off to bed now Mike
