by saravanan 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

Hi all, I would liketo know is it possible to port a Malayalam(An Indian Language) keyboard driver written for Windows to Linux using any softwares(emulators). The keyboard driver application could be called using wine. It's running & is found be working partially in the wordpad application called using wine. Is it possible to make it work in Linux editors. Do anybody have any idea. Thanks in advance for your kind replys. Saravanan ______________________________________ Scanned and protected by Email scanner

Wine history draft
by Brian Vincent (C) 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

I put together the following: http://users.theshell.com/~vinn/wine-history.html There's two major additions I'd like to see and I don't think I'm capable of doing them: 1) Wine history from 1994 - 1999 with a specific emphasis on changes to the architecture, design decisions that got discarded, developers who've come and gone. 2) Specific quotes from over the years. I sort of put some examples of that in the document above. Humorous quotes would be especially nice. If no one has any suggestions then I'll likely just remove the existing ones and add the information to the relevant paragraphs. I'm also thinking of adding a paragraph on the tools and programs developed for Wine. Comments / suggestions / criticisms? --------------- Brian Vincent Copper Mountain Telecom vincentb(a)coppercolorado.com

16bit app calls wineps.drv, but wine has wineps.dll (missing alias?)
by ceztko＠libero.it 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

I have a 16 bit app that have a older printer initialization mechanism: it loads the printer driver reading its name from win.ini,adding ".DRV" to it. This is a problem, cause the builtin postscript driver is called wineps.dll in wine, and the apps quits with the VB Error (482 run-time error: Printer error). I tryed to fix this making synlinks to wineps.dll.so in /etc/lib/wine/lib/wine, but the problem remains. The debug output doesn't need comments: err:module:NE_LoadBuiltinModule loaded .so but dll wineps.drv still not found I verifyed this using a similar configuration in a real windows installation (renaming printerdriver.drv to .dll, leaving "printerdriver" with no ext in win.ini). In this way, the app quits with the same error. I'm sure the app is NOT calling registry to get the printer configuration (monitored it wit regmon) There are other 2 old threads with similar (read indentical) problem: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2001/04/0515.html http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/04/0164.html, but no resolution is proposed. I supposed is missing the alias wineps.drv --> wineps.dll, similarly wineps16.drv --> wineps.dll. Someone told me symlinks in /usr/lib/wine/lib/wine should work....but... This is what i have done: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1815919 Jan 26 00:14 wineps.dll.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 26 19:06 wineps.drv.so -> wineps.dll.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 26 19:07 wineps16.dll.so -> wineps.dll.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 26 00:14 wineps16.drv.so -> wineps.dll.so The error and debugmsg are the same. I suppose (and hope..) wine loader manages alias in a different way. Thanks! P.S.: i also post this at bugzilla, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1967 Not sure it's a real bug, anyway..

Strange debug message in programs/winedbg/info.c
by Sami Aario 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi, The debugger kept messing up my output because of a missing newline. This patch fixes that. However, the condition checks for first_dll, but the output says first_option. They can't both be right. So which one should it be?

RE: Lotus Notes broken in recent CVS
by Paul R Streitman 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

I tested the patches by taking an 01/03 CVS snapshot and replacing the relevant parts from an 01/02 snapshot rather than trying to un-patch the files. Using that technique, I found that the changes in patch 10547 (which required patch 10552 to compile) cause the problem that I am seeing with Lotus Notes. That problem still occurs with current CVS.

imm32 ImmDisableIME stub concern
by Jason Edmeades 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hello, Debugging a game, it crashes because it calls a currently unimplemented function, ImmDisableIME. Ordinarily this wouldnt be worrying, and I could stub it (which i have). The game gets far further now, and displays a blank screen and corrupt graphics, rather than just terminating. :-) However, looking at a history of the IMM32 spec file, it was added (version 1.10) and removed (version 1.11). Has anyone any idea why, and would anyone have any strong objections to me re-stubbing it? Jason

Wrong LANG message
by Fabian Cenedese 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi When I start wine I always get a message about several possible language ids and that I need to set LANG to the specific sub id. But even after that I still get this message. I need to set LANGUAGE to the sub id, then wine keeps quiet. So either my setup is quite wrong or this message needs to be changed to set LANGUAGE. Thanks bye Fabi

An MDI regression
by Duane Clark 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

A minor regression in the MDI code. I am not sure which patch it was, but it is something in the last couple of weeks. Open most any MDI application (I've tried 3) including Pegasus mail. Maximize one of the windows, and take a look at the menus. Even better, after doing that, drag the entire application to a different size. The effect is rather impressive.

Sorry for the language but this is pure bullshit. The Free Software Foundation has enforced the GPL many times, forcing proprietary vendors to GPL the code of works deviated from GPL'ed code, and has always reached a settlement before getting to court, that shows how good the GPL is. > I am trying to make it possible for people to earn a living as Open Source developers.

IMHO you're quite confused, and don't have a good idea about what open source is all about. You license closely remembers the shared source license. Ivan.

Fwd: [Bug 1952] half-life, unreal tournament: video runs too 1.5x too fast
by hatky 25 Jan '04

Sound like a valid claim that wine does not update the cpu speed on speed step speed change.... ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Bug 1952] half-life, unreal tournament: video runs too 1.5x too fast Date: Saturday 24 January 2004 20:30 From: Wine Bugs <wine-bugs(a)winehq.org> To: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 lesha(a)netman.ru changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|FIXED | ------- Additional Comments From lesha(a)netman.ru 2004-24-01 14:30 ------- I finally know exactly what was going on. Someone knowledgeable needs to decide if this is a problem Wine should fix. My laptop has SpeedStep, and if you power it up without AC power, it will boot in 1200 Mhz, and /proc/cpuinfo will list 1200 mhz. Turning on AC power switches back to 1700Mhz (or manual acpi adjustments). However, /proc/cpuinfo reflects only 1200. Wine apparently uses CPU cycles for timing (IMO, a lousy idea). Thus, when I had gone through power up without AC, later switched to AC, Wine thinks that my Mhz rating is lower than it is, and I get a speed increase of 42%. If I now use ACPI to reconfigure as 1200 Mhz, I end up with normal speeds again. So, really, ACPI could be considered at fault for not updating cpuinfo. But maybe /proc/cpuinfo isn't even the right place to read this information. Or at least, maybe one shouldn't rely on reported MHz for timing. For instance, the native shooters (Prboom, Quake3) don't mind at all if I switch the CPU frequency mid-game.

Re: Winedbg: Parse symbols in libc, libpthread, etc

Robert Shearman a écrit : > Hi, > > This patch allows winedbg to parse symbols in libraries directly linked > to the wine binaries, like libc and libpthread. This will usually mean > just using the symbol table, but this is better than nothing. Hi Robert I don't understand why you need to walk the shared object (from lm.l_ld)? Normally, all loaded shared object will appear in the main module loaded linked list, so we should only need to walk that list. The rest of the patch is correct (I'm currently working on fixing some of the issues of the debugger: get around WINELOADER issue, report unsupported debug format (like Dwarf2...)). A+

I was under the impression that it was desirable to cross compile as many dlls as possible in different environments. shell32 has currently only a few reasons why it can't be compiled and linked in Visual C and I think it is a good idea to improve on that.

New Open Source License: Single Supplier Open Source License
by Richard Schilling 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

I would like to present to you all a new Open Source software license I've written up. It's called the Single Supplier Open Source License. I will be distributing software under this license as well as the traditional Open Source licenses found at opensource.org. You can see a copy of the license and its associated FAQ at http://www.rsmba.biz/licenses . A link on the homepage at rsmba.biz will also direct you there. I will also be working directly with opensource.org to address any issues they have with the license wording. The license has the following features: # Users have freely available access to source code, documentation just like the GPL. # Users may use, modify, and install the software on as many computers as they want within their organization. # Any changes made by the user and others get contributed back into the base product # The developer's right to control who provides services using the product is protected. # The developer's right to control who can distribute the software is protected. # The developer has complete control over the product forking. # The developer and all contributors retain copyright of their individual works. # The software is always downloaded from the same place by the end user even if it's used as part of a larger product, protecting the quality of the software. Please feel free to contact me on or off list about this announcement. Richard Schilling

As you have seen, at best you will set hr to a random error and at worst it won't be set at all and you need your hack to make it still work. What you should be doing is setting hr to the correct error as soon as you detect a failure. So after a Win32 call: if (callfailed) { hr = HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(GetLastError()); goto invalid_theme; } or after another type of failure: if (somethingnotquiteright) { hr = E_FAIL; goto invalid_theme; } Also, please try to use a more descriptive code than E_FAIL if one exists.

Sound disappears after few seconds
by Vitaliy Margolen 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

After last number of patches to sound drivers I'm having problems with sound. Unfortunately I haven't spotted when exactly did that happened. Here is what the problem is: - When using AIM, yes, windows AIM - there are nothing else I could find that exists on both Windows and Linux and has "Talk" feature. - After 5 - 10 seconds sound stops working. Recording works fine, but playback stops completely. - Tested with oss, alsa and arts. Problem exists in all of them or in something common between them. - If I don't use record, just play some sound - no problem. - Needless to say this used to work before. Any suggestions? -- Best regards, Vitaliy
