windres vs. wrc
by Dimitrie O. Paun 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Folks, I've just discovered (DUH!) another free resource compiler: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/gnupro/GNUPro-Toolkit-98r2/5_ut/c_Usingb… This one is part of binutils. Now, like any good hacker, I hate such code duplication. Granted, I haven't looked through the code of windres, so I can't say if it's any good. However, here are some points to ponder: -- all Win32 free software projects out there use windres, not wrc -- for this reason, it is like it's more generic / better maintained -- do we want eventually to phase one of them out? -- their command line arguments are incompatible. This causes problems when trying to build portable Makefiles. Should we try to be command line compatible with windres, so we are a drop in replacement (for the .rc/.res -> .o conversion)? Any windres experiences? Comments? -- Dimi.

Hi, It just seems odd, as this FTP site worked fine with internet explorer before. - no errors at all.

Command-line MS FTP clients don't support passive mode and I have heard reports that IE does not also. If that is the problem you'll have to switch to a Linux box or find a windows FTP client that supports passive.

Ah, OK. Wrong solution. But still, shouldn't the "DWORD service" parameter be popped somewhere? I can't see any place where it is. > The only use of WINAPI would be to make > winapi_check happy, but it would probably be better to teach it to not > do that check for register functions. VxDCall is the only register function that violates stdcall => WINAPI. But sure turning the check off in winapi_check is easy.

Wine (Debian) problems
by Anant Kabra 18 Nov '02

Hi, I've been having the following problems with wine for the last couple of days. I'm using the daily cvs snapshot builds from http://people.debian.org/~andreas/debian Here's the output (this happens with every thing that I try with wine). Any suggestions? fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin x11drv.dll: /usr/lib/wine/x11drv.dll.so: undefined symbol: X11DRV_OpenGL_Init Could not load graphics driver 'x11drv' err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin x11drv.dll: /usr/lib/wine/x11drv.dll.so: undefined symbol: X11DRV_OpenGL_Init Could not load graphics driver 'x11drv' fixme:process:CreateProcessA (X:\IXP000.TMP\ie6wzd.exe,...): NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS ignored err:module:BUILTIN32_dlopen failed to load .so lib for builtin x11drv.dll: /usr/lib/wine/x11drv.dll.so: undefined symbol: X11DRV_OpenGL_Init Could not load graphics driver 'x11drv' err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap 00000000!

Possibly my last question... for a while. ;-)
by Fredrick P. Lackey 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Gentlemen, I feel really bad bothering a developers list with such basic questions, but. well. you all ARE the most responsive of everyone I've met so far. And, since you seem to hold the key to getting my @$$ of Micrsoshaft, then. well. I guess I'm sorry but I'm not. ;-) (By the way, if there is every anything I can do to repay you for your assistance and patience, consider it done.) As much as it pains me to ask, has anyone tried installing VMWare v3.x (either the Linux or Windows version) into Red Hat v8.0? If so, did you get it work? And, if so, then how? Again, my goal most definitely is to use Wine and Wine alone, however, I can't even consider moving forward unless I can use my environment for ALL of my current tasks (which includes development for M$, unfortunately). Thanx, either way. And, again, thank you for all of your help. R/S Fred www.fredlackey.com

Microsoft. :-( In any case I think Vincent and Marcus is right, it should be have a WINAPI like in Vincent patch because otherwise the "DWORD service" parameter is not popped from the stack AFAICS.

wine commandline options
by Rick Romero 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

I was playing with Pegasus Mail (silver list) to see what I could get working. It looks like it doesn't detect winsock.dll using it's own 'search algorythm, so the TCP/IP options don't get enabled - hence the (paraphrased) 'wtf?' in the silver list description. So, I tried to force Pegasus Mail to load winsock explicitly using the -Z 128 option: $wine winpm-32 -Z 128 but wine comes back with 'Unknown option -Z'. I'm not quite sure how these are getting parsed, but I see in misc/options.c parse_options() if (*p++ != '-') continue; /* not an option */ Should exit if the 2nd char isn't a - (am I right?) BUT, when parse_options returns to OPTIONS_ParseOptions() The following: /* check if any option remains */ for (i = 1; argv[i]; i++) { if (!strcmp( argv[i], "--" )) { remove_options( argv, i, 1, 0 ); break; } if (argv[i][0] == '-') { MESSAGE( "Unknown option '%s'\n\n", argv[i] ); // OPTIONS_Usage(); } } Still picks up '-' as an invalid option. My first thought would be to stop checking for options after the 1st and 2nd chars are not '-' (ie. after the Win32 program name), but I'm not sure if that's correct. Any thoughts? (FYI, no, the option didn't make Pmail work.) Rick -- -- Rick Romero IT Manager Valeo, Inc. ph: 262.695.4841 Sussex, WI. fax: 262.695.4850 Rick(a)valeoinc.com

Dual boot solves everything?
by Fredrick P. Lackey 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Gentlemen, First of all, thanks to everyone with your input so far. I've now been able to get IE v6.0 up and running as well as a few other less important applications. Which brings me to a few more questions. 1. Since it is possible to use native DLLs with applications, can one assume that on a dual boot machine with Win98 SE2 and Red Hat v8.0 that it would only be necessary to install the desired application under Windows, then add native DLLs to the Wine config file to get [almost] *any* Windows application to function? 2. Each time I launch a program, a black window appears that seems to make up the "shell" (for lack of a better term) for that instance of the application. This window is always somewhere around 800x600 pixels. Is there any way to not show this window and/or get the size to be something else? I am running in 1600x1200 resolution and only using half of the screen is frustrating. 3. Is there an easy way within Linux/Wine to determine what native DLLs the application should/could use? Thanx again, Fred Lackey Orlando, Florida
