I don't think Wine does anything DMCA related right now. However it will be much fun when we will get to the DRM parts of Windows. Dialog from the future: "Oh, no, this is not a circumvention device, we are just trying to implement copy protection to protect the intrests of RIAA and MPAA." "But what about the function FooIsAuthorized?" "What about it? It is just a stub that nobody for some reason have gotten around to implement. :-)" BOOL WINAPI FooIsAuthorized(...) { FIXME("(...): stub\n"); return TRUE; /* Information wants to be free */ }

Yes and in many cases it did work without unistd.h, but maybe that is because it really wasn't needed at all. In some case it might have worked because some of the functions in unistd.h is defined else where in Windows and in some case we might get it to work by including needed files. Of course in such cases we probably should fix Wine and include that other header exclusively instead of unistd.h. Anyway, I just experimented a little trying to get Wine to compile under Windows. I'm not really sure exacly what to do. Eventually I guess that the non-core DLL:s never should call any non Windows functions at all and the core DLL:s are not really useful to compile and run under Windows anyway.

TSXxxx functions: die!
by Dimitrie O. Paun 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

Once again, Since this list is (again!) so quiet, I feel obligated to stir the spirits a little. So here it goes: we should get rid of the TSXxxx functions. Why? -- we don't keep to standard API, which is against the Wine's spirit -- they introduce yet another (useless) layer -- we reaquire the lock like crazy for no good reason -- most modern X systems are already thread safe -- we integrate Wine's locking with glic's, so we should be OK -- they are ugly How? s/TSX/X/g rm -rf tsx + misc Makefile cleanups But I hear people screaming: how about portability? What about platforms where we don't integrate with libc's locking, or when we don't have a thread safe X? Well, we can create a wrapper driver which simply aquires the lock, calls into the regular driver, then releases the lock. In fact, I am not convinced we shouldn't deal this way with the current driver, to simplify the code. It's not like we're missing a lot on performance... -- Dimi.

WineHQ cvs
by Francois Gouget 05 Feb '02

05 Feb '02

I was looking at the WineHQ CVS last week-end (trying to add a section about how to contribute to Wine and to beef up the about section) and, at least to an untrained eye, it looks like it contains many obsolete files that should be deleted. Here are some examples: * a number of files exist in both .html and .shtml form. Isn't the html form obsolete? about.html & about.shtml contrib.html & contrib.shtml search.html & search.shtml who.html & who.shtml * some files have multiple versions lying around refs.html & refs.shtml & refs2.html index.shtml & indexold.html * there is a number of file that I'm not sure are still in use threads_etc, referenced from design.html which is referenced, but commented out, from indexold.html & test003.html win_utils_test, does not appear to be referenced anywhere shots.html, referenced only from indexold.html Is there a good reason to keep the above files?

How long for CVS?
by Gerhard Gruber 04 Feb '02

04 Feb '02

A few days ago I sent a patch for WritePrivateProfileSection that fixed the wrong behaviour that this function should create multiple keys with the same name which will be needed for wininit.ini. Now I have seen two updates of the CVS tree but this path hasn't been applied. Does this mean I should resend it to the pathces list, or should I wait a bit longer? How long does it usually take for a patch to get submitted?

Hi Chris, thank you for suggesting the help. Preferred method of contacting Wine developers is posting to mailing list wine-devel.

On one hand there are a lot of documentation about Win32 API, on other hand the documentation is often misleading, there is a set of API which is not documented at all and some programs, especially Microsoft products (IE, Office), tend to use it. Don't warry about this. We don't have any tests.

RE: Another Potential Slave... I mean Programmer
by Joe Tennies 04 Feb '02

04 Feb '02

Okay. I'll admit I am biased toward GNOME, but my real problem is that I didn't explain myself much, and I doubt people actually went to look at the gstreamer site. I had found it before, but forgot about. Why I think KDE should adopt gstreamer as well. It is not a replacement for ALSA, OSS, ESD, or aRts... it's an add-on to it. My understanding of the gstreamer project is that it's Linux/UNIX's response to the Windows CODEC system. It is a single interface to output video and audio from various types of input file types. They have support for MP3s, DIVX (coming), Ogg Vorbis, DVD, AVI, MPEG, Video 4 Linux, etc. for input files. It also supports OSS, ALSA, esd, aRts, X11, aalib (gotta love it), SDL, etc. for outputs. This is obviously not for programs that need low latency. It is for your everyday stuff. It is more than good enough for saying "you got mail," yet it would have support for lots of files types w/o specifically writing support for the new file type. This is also good for multimedia players and web browsers due to the support for lots of file types (I could see XMMS switching to this from its plugin system). Is this the answer for recording studio programs, remakes of Rebirth (WE NEED ONE OF THESE), or people that need the audio fast, but for the typical desktop user, it will be a god send. Only downfall I could see to the KDE crowd is the need to install GLIB. It doesn't require the full GTK+, just GLIB (linked lists and other datastructures). KDE could recommend using aRts for output and write its own input plugins for implementations that depended on a library KDE didn't need installed but KDE did install another one that implemented something simiilar. HECK, I don't think anyone would mind KDE writing their own underlying/core part, required you use aRts for output, didn't require GLIB (though this may be difficult), but used those input plug-ins. I understand KDE and GNOME have very different things in their head, but we need to get some standards here. XDND was way overdue (though I hear it wasn't a great implementation, at least they agreed on how to do something), and the two groups need to make more decisions like these to help each other strive. Remember everyone. I WAS a HUGE KDE fan myself for years. I had installed GNOME a couple times and hated it. I used KDE through 2.1 (I think... definitely in the 2.X). Then I discovered I had Blackbox on my machine, and it flew. I like the QT library (though I won't use it because I am now a GNOME guy). I like the layout of KDE... simple yet sophisticated. It tailors to the geek and the 'typical home user.' I just like GNOME's CORBA interface they are adding (which is where gstreamer will fit in). Something that can be so easily updated and contain potential problems is powerful (though VERY frustrating at times). I also love Ximian, who I feel keeps pushing the things that need to get done to make Linux a full fledged desktop system -- not to mention their love of all things monkey =) I salute KDE. They did the large scale desktop environment for the masses first (CDE is NOT for the masses anymore). They are probably still doing it best (I hear lots of complaints about some of GNOME's design). The problem I see is that there's no one really pushing KDE to keep its lead (and the slow speed it had under Mandrake). -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Morgan [mailto:chmorgan@speakeasy.net] Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 11:46 PM To: Joe Tennies Subject: Re: Another Potential Slave... I mean Programmer It would be interesting to see a latency comparison between gstreamer, arts and jack. If gstreamer doesn't get very close to what jack can do then it isn't the solution for the future. We need low latency or tons of audio apps will continue to find it through direct alsa or jack interfaces. Ideally we should pick the best solution and much of it is based on the latency issue, features should come after and should be designed such that they don't increase latency by any more than they have to. It sounds a little like you want to go with a gnome solution because you use gnome. I think more work needs to be done to come up with a linux(open source or whatever as well) wide solution to the problem.

Are there any particular reasons that the authors of gstreamer believe that all of the existing audio APIs are unacceptable, or is this yet another case of the NIH syndrome that GNOME and KDE developers seem to suffer from all too frequently? And if there are problems with the existing APIs, what reason do we have to think that gstreamer will get it right? If people have issues with the existing sound daemons, their time could almost certainly be better spent working on the implementations /behind/ the APIs instead of creating the sound library du jour. It seems a terrible waste of programmer time to try to maintain as many as four library layers interposed between Wine programs and the audio hardware.

I am considering writing a Wine Driver for esd. I am wondering basically where I start. I know esd is high latency (which may not be the best for such a thing), but I think it would be easier than trying to do alsa drivers. (I know ALSA has oss compatible drivers, but I can't get them to do a thing under wine... do work uner other programs.) Anyways, that leads me to here and me trying to help. Joe Tennies

Bug in MoveFileEx
by Gerhard W. Gruber 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

I just played around with Thandor trying to install it and see what the differences are between Win98 and Wine because I noticed a slightly different behaviour. Now I discovered that MoveFileEx is not even available in Windows 98 but wine supplies it nevertheless. I suspect that the Setup doesn't check the windows version, but rather calls MoveFileEx and if that fails with not implemented returncode continues with other code to supply the functionality. I wrote a small test app to confirm this and this returns an error code when calling MoveFileEx on a native win98 whiel wine executes it. How shall I fix this? Shall I simply call GetVersion() to determine if MoveFileEx should be allowed or is there a different way with wine to determine which functions are available for which version (a global variable or such)? I looked through the sources but I couldn't find anywhere something where a versioncheck has been used to switch code but then again I don't know much functions where I know for sure that they are available in one version and not in the other. -- Bye, Gerhard If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
