07 Jul '04

Hi Alexandre, I've just update my tree and now I'm experiencing problems about: - screen no more updated in a game - X protocol error when moving a window for 3 other games It seems the patch that causes the regression is http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=12703 Could you look at it? I can provide some logs or other info if you want... Thanks in advance Christian

Last week I submitted the following patches: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/06/0227.html (dlls/commdlg "old style" file dialogs - take 2) and http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2004/06/0276.html (dlls/shell32 RestartDialog and RestartDialogEx) Is there any particular reason they haven't been accepted yet?

HANDLE support code
by Michael Jung 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Hello, is there any kind of support code to implement HANDLE tables in the wine source tree? I'm thinking of something like the code server/handle.c, but for use in dll implementations. I would think that most dll implementations need something like this.

Wine and PATH
by Raghavan Gurumurthy 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

BlankI have set this in the Wine config file (~/.wine/config): [wine] "Path"="c:\\windows;c:\\windows\system;c:\myapp" I have placed the executable (and its dependent DLLs) in c:\myapp directory. Now, if i run this command: # wine myapp.exe <<<--- I get error: "wine: cannot find myapp.exe". But, if i do: # wine c:\\myapp\\myapp.exe <<--- Everything is fine. Is Wine looking in the PATH variable i set in the config file or not? I did a wineboot as well as a reboot of the machine and still no luck. What am i missing? Note that if i copy myapp.exe to c:\\windows directory, Wine does let me run it without specifying the full path - but, i don't want to do that for obvious reasons. Is this supported or not? Thanks, Raghavan Gurumurthy Gupta Technologies

uxtheme metatheme
by Olaf Leidinger 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

Hello! I'm new to the list and I'd like to know how complete the Windows-XP theme support is. I don't know anything about XP themes or win32-api programming in general but I wondered if it would be possible to create a "metatheme - plugin" for wine. Metatheme [1] is a new project which aim is to unify the appearance between different graphics toolkits. Although it's a new project it's quiet stable. I talked already to the author but he isn't sure if all MetaTheme requirements can be satisfied. The problem should be the metrics and so on. This should only be a suggestion for a TODO-item or a proposal as I can't write such a theme - at least not at the moment ;-( [1] http://jezek2.advel.cz/projects/metatheme/ Thanks a lot, Ciao, Olaf

MSI in Wine
by Gearoid Donnellan 05 Jul '04

05 Jul '04

Hey again, I am very shocked that this actually works and you probably know already but If you down load and extract the Windows Installer redistributable in the wine directory you can then install MSI's using "wine msiexec /i <msiname>". Tried it with winzip.msi and it worked perfectly. Don't know if that will hold through with others though

Extracting MSI's
by Gearoid Donnellan 05 Jul '04

05 Jul '04

I dont know much about Wine but a friend of mine mentioned that I could be of some help in this area. It could be possible for me to create a script that will read an MSI and then recreate the directory structure needed to run a windows application in wine automaticallly. I was just wondering if anyone was working on anything similar or had any views on the issue? I am still unsure as to whether or not its possible but I am looking into it.

bug in redhat 9 RPMs
by James Gregory 05 Jul '04

05 Jul '04

Hi all, apologies if this isn't the right place to post. I installed the RedHat 9 RPMs from sourceforge (followed the link from winehq.org -> downloads) and discovered that the permissions on /usr/lib/wine and /usr/share/wine (the directories, not their contents) were 700, which prevented normal users from using Wine. I changed the permissions so it's not a problem for this particular install, but it's probably not expected behaviour. Unfortunately I don't have any real way of checking if it's a system specific problem, or an issue with the RPMs themselves. I'm happy to supply any info needed to debug it. Thanks, James. -- James Gregory <james(a)linuxaus.com>

16-bit application fails due to regression in NE-module handling
by Saulius Krasuckas 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

I've entered new bug #2332 [1] recently, where I've described my problem. I think the application was compiled with some BC compiler for win16 platforms. 32 here at "last error" means some sharing violation, I hope: [s2@katleriai wine]$ cat include/winerror.h | grep ' \+32$' #define ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION 32 The quick analysis of the patch [1] revealed me two points: + handle = FILE_CreateFile( full_name.long_name, GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, + NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0, TRUE, + GetDriveTypeW( full_name.short_name ) ); ... /* Open file */ - if ((hFile = OpenFile16( name, &ofs, OF_READ )) == HFILE_ERROR16) + if ((hFile = OpenFile16( name, &ofs, OF_READ|OF_SHARE_DENY_WRITE )) == HFILE_ERROR16) return (HMODULE16)2; /* File not found */ which confused me a bit. By doing some wild guess I tried to revert last mentioned change. Heh, reversing this line really lets the app to succeed. My discovery may imply I should write some additional wine-tests, but I'd like to ask in such case: do I need the test (for example of OpenFile16() function) to be 16-bit style? I mean doing some NE-module-over-ELF and compiling 16-bit app within Wine(lib). If yes, then how it should be done? If no, then what should I do else to make Wine happy or even to submit the correct patch? Yes, I was a bit too lazy to RSFM. TIA.

Pango for BiDi
by Mike Hearn 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

Hi Shachar, I am reading your interview and a few words jumped out at me, mostly "BiDi", "shaping" and "unicode" - very vague I know, but if I understand correctly Pango is a library with advanced support for shaping and laying out all kinds of different scripts. Only stopper I can think of would be that it uses UTF-8 not UTF-16. Have you looked at this, or am I talking smack? thanks -mike

Assertion in dlls/ntdll/loader.c
by Jon Griffiths 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

Hi, I'm experimenting with native vs builtin comctl32 for an app and whenever I set this dll to native I hit this assert in init_system_dir(): assert( mod->Flags & LDR_WINE_INTERNAL ); This happens on a 2.6 and a 2.4 system. I suspect its not related to comctl32 per-se, but merely loading a native dll at all (since this is the only native dll I'm using). Using all builtins does not hit this assert. I don't really grok what this function is doing, but commenting it out allows the app the start up with no ill efects. Any ideas?

The problem is a technological one. ICU is mangling the library's version into the symbols, making it impossible to dynamically link the library. As a result, most distros don't carry ICU as a package. Shachar

May I remind you that this thread was started by you, asking why we are abandoning Wine, not by me complaining about Wine. All I did was give you the reasons why we are no longer using Wine. You may not like them, you may disagree with them, but the decision has been made. And there is really nothing to be gained in nitpicking or pointing fingers. I don't understand the comment about managed Quake, but we don't have to create managed Wine. We simply have to create the SWF controls in managed code and the underlying SWF framework. Wine doesn't have anything to do with the framework, anyway, so it's down to the controls. And even by using the Wine controls we still would have to either modify Wine to support the additional functionality required by SWF, or subclass them, basically recreating the drawing code for those controls and just using the WndProc messages from Wine. So, you can see it's really just a small step to then drop Wine and handle the management of Windows ourselves instead of using Wine for it. Not trying to be rude either. You asked, I answered.

IE6 installation error. would you please give me a suggession

Dear Sir/Madam, I downloaded the latest cvs of wine and compiled it. All went well but it seems that the regsvr32.exe.so file wasn't created properly. If check the dependency o f expand.exe.so, winver.exe.so, winepath.exe.so, I can see all the proper files that it needs but if I do it on regsvr32.exe.so, it says "regsvr32.exe.so: Not a dynamic executable". I have that his problem for the last 3-4 months. I used a text editor and it seems that the header is the regsvr 32.exe.so looks like an msdos .exe file (ex, first 2 characters have "MZ") but e xpand,winver, and winepath start with "^^". The reason I have notified it is when I run ie 5/6, It stops at the point saying "/usr/local/bin/wine: cannot open builtin library for 'C:\windows\system\regsvr32.exe': /usr/local/lib/wine/regsvr32.exe.so: invalid ELF header". would you please suggest me what I have to do ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
