dsl file for sgml faq
by Vincent Béron 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Finally, it's done. In the attached archive you'll find the following files: wine-faq.sgml -> Main sgml file faq-0.sgml \ faq-1.sgml |-> Content sgml files faq-2.sgml / faq.css -> CSS file for the FAQ index.html -> The output of docbook2html -d faq.dsl wine-faq.sgml authors.ent -> same as in documentation/, wasn't needed actually. faq.dsl -> Definition file for docbook. This is where the work went. I modify a few docbook definitions to match Dimitrie's layout. Not obvious without knowing LISP beforehand :) Of course, if somebody chooses another layout, some of this will need adjustment. Or if we prefer something closer to "vanilla" docbook. Dimitrie, the actual HTML code is rather ugly in it's source presentation, so don't hand-edit it :P Anyway, it's not meant to be hand-edited, that's what sgml and docbook are for. The layout is exactly what you already have, although with some small modifications to the layout the dsl file can be alot simpler. Tony, you can begin the transition if Dimitrie likes it (and when you have the time to). That's all for tonight. Vincent

GNUCash has something like 40 dependencies including a lot of very unstable/unfinished APIs. FAM is 1 dependency and while it sucks, it doesn't change very often (or at all that I know of). Alex Larsson wanted to work on a nicer FAM-type thing based on a per-user daemon or something, but hasn't had time. Certainly there's room to write such a thing, but I don't think it's harmful to use FAM if FAM is present. It's not like a FAM dependency would be pervasive, it would be small and well-isolated and easy to change to some other dependency if you found something better. Havoc

Re: Filesystem change notifications

It all depends which platforms you want to support in this patch, as far as it goes. FAM has support for a lot of different systems, but there's no need to really add it as a dependency IMHO. Adding support for the platforms we wish to support would be simpler. I think the best reference would be to use F_NOTIFY under Linux. This makes writing FindFirstChangeNotification a maybe 20 minute job. The simplest example I can think of is from Samba: http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/samba/source/smbd/notify_ker… It's GPLed, so only use it as an example, don't copy code from it :) Other platforms have other methods (eg, FreeBSD you can use kqueue/kevent).. so yes, it all depends how much compatability you want. On other platforms you can always resort to polling, but this is quite horrible. I think NetBSD has a kqueue/kevent method, but IIRC it's broken. :) - Ender

Unknown message 0x0313
by Fabian Cenedese 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Hi While trying to find problems with messages I stumbled over a message I didn't know what it is. My app got a message 0x0313 when I right clicked on the app button in the taskbar, that on my old NT4. The only info I found is that the app should show the system menu like in this example: // With ClassWizard OnRButtonDown () addition Void Cxxxx: OnRButtonDown (UINT nFlags, Cpoint point) { // Client coordinate in screen coordinate conversion ClientToScreen (& point); // Indication of system menu PostMessage (0x0313, 0, MAKELPARAM (point.x and point.y)); Cwnd: OnRButtonDown (nFlags and point); } Is this code defined in the new VS.net? Thanks bye Fabi

Filesystem change notifications
by Ian Pilcher 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Is anyone working on implementing FindFirstChangeNotification and friends? If not, this looks like something that may be both within my capabilities and non-trivial enough to be useful (a rare combination!). My thought is to use SGI FAM (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/), which is shipped with Red Hat and (according to bug #588) Mandrake. I'm not sure about any other distributions, but the FAQ on the web page states that Enlightenment, GNOME, and KDE all use it, so it should be pretty widespread. If no one is working on this, start preparing for an endless series of questions about the wineserver's internal workings. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher pilchman(a)attbi.com ========================================================================

Wine, bugs and Word2k ...
by Paul Millar 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Hi, I've been trying out wine with Word 2000 using builtin DLLs, both in desktop and managed mode. Mostly it works fine, but there's a few problems that detract from the "user experience". Any pointers on where to start looking for these bugs would be much appreciated -- relay is around 46 MiB before any of the problems surface :^/ 1. Whenever word decides to run their help agent, on my machine C:\WINDOWS\Msagent\AGENTSVR.EXE, I get messages: fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent( 4, <HWND 1>, -3, 0)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent( 5, <HWND 1>, -3, 0)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent( 32773, <HWND 2>, -4, 0)-stub! Word and the agent then freezes. Killing off the agent, e.g. "kill $(ps ax|grep wine.*AGEN|awk '{print $1}')" allows word to recover ... 2. Dragging a dialogue box around causes a corruption on the screen (see [1]). When I release the button, the window moves, along with any corruption. Forcing a refresh (eg hiding the desktop window behind another one), clears up the corruption. 3. Normal resizing works fine, but word has an extra resizable corner (which isn't rendered correctly under wine, see [2]). This has had variable success in the past: when it fails, the window is resized so the left edge of the window shoots off the left edge of the screen, seemingly ignoring whatever the mouse does. With current CVS it seems to always fail in this way. 4. Exiting word, it tries to save NORMAL.DOT, saying "The disk is full or too many files are open. C:\windows\...\Templates\Normal.dot" causing: fixme:storage:StorageImpl_Commit (4): stub! fixme:storage:StorageImpl_Commit (4): stub! fixme:storage:StorageImpl_Commit (4): stub! fixme:ole:WriteFmtUserTypeStg (0x402b5550,17c,L"Microsoft Word Document") stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32774,0x00030031,52,3)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32773,0x00030031,-4,33)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32774,0x00030031,26,7)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32777,0x00030031,52,0)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32774,0x00030031,52,3)-stub! So I guess the storage is at fault. 5. Exiting Word causes wine to crash. This used to work ok (upto a few days ago). Backtrace shows a few random references to _end+0xd27f0 (etc..), followed by PE_InitDLL (pe_image.c:628 nt=1, module=1140195328, type=0, lpReserved=0x01), followed by module.c:159 .... seems to be trying to initialise winmm.dll, failing and jumping into blue yonder. On a whim, I reversed Eric's recent always-unload-winmm patch [3]. This "fixed" the problem. So, is wine attempting (and failing) to load winmm in order to unload it? (6. The debugger froze whilst trying to dereference the wm pointer in MODULE_InitDLL, it managed to print some of the structure before hanging ... but I think that's enough bugs for now ...)

Some of the patches I sent did not committed (probably because Alexandre didn't consider the cleanup there worthwhile enough, which I even could understand): http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/11/0159.html And the following patch was committed with modifications: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/11/0176.html -> http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?id=6249 Getting a bit of feedback in these cases (directly with a Cc: to wine-devel) would have been nice, not the least to educate submitters.

OLE File Format Documentation
by Charles Wyble 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Hello I have obtained a copy of Microsofts Documentation on the Compound File Binary Format. I have posted it on my web site at chicago.sf.net/devel/ole/ff.txt. It is plain text now, but I will be converting it to HTML over the next few days. I hope it helps. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I quess *something* should be done. I was (and still is) a newbie to wine source, so I solved this (wanted to be able to play wzebra ;-) out this way. I needed only to change file.c and a few prototypes on smb.h. I wish somebody (maybe you?) who knows more and has more time could take this job... I think the main problem is (btw.. for most applications, there is no problem..) that unix files are opened and closed for every, even small ReadFile(). Doesn't it flush all buffers?

Doesn't work between Linux and a Windows machine (Linuz client sends messages locally, client on Windows machine returns exception) but I guess that's because of the transport limitation? David

Maybe once I finish the current wave of work on rpcss (soon, I think) I will take a look at this. It might be a little more of a challenge for me since I don't know a thing about X11 coding... but then again I didn't know much about RPC until I started diving into it, and since I hear it's a bit of a challenge, the prospect of learning X11 coding appeals to me anyhow. > Once again, it seems like a huge code drop waiting > for someone to split it up.

The only thing that gives me pause is that the RPC stuff is far from finished and I would like to keep some forward momentum in that department as well... but who says I can't multitask? I'd certainly be glad to take a look at it. -- gmt "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Wine 0.9 Supported Application List
by Dimitrie O. Paun 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Folks, Here are the lists, formatted in HTML, which Carlos sent out some time ago: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-SAL.html Mozilla/Netscape seems to have problems with the colors, but Konqy works fine... Help with formatting appreciated. I guess the tasks here are: 1. Identify more Gold apps 2. Fix Silver apps so they can move up to Gold Comments, suggestions, flames? -- Dimi.

WinZip
by Mike Hearn 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

OK, I remembered reading about how WinZip was nearly Gold but not quite. There was a problem with the richedit control. If I install the richedit control into Crossover 1.3.1 from here http://www.allerasoft.com/download/ I can view comments in WinZip OK. Unfortunately if I do this (try with the example zip file in the winzip directory) it crashes on exit. I might try some proper traces this afternoon, but is there a reason Wine can't mirror the richedit update program and install it a la DCOM? -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ
