Documenetation that is meant for the user should go into .sgml, no disagreement here. Documentation that is meant for the ongoing developement of a DLL (something like the TODO list, or a few comments on the internal structure, or some tips, etc.) should go as plain text as close as possible to the code that it's documenting. I can not stress how important that is. I find this "developer" documentation useful beyon words: as I read through the code, it gives me ideas on what to work, I keep it _updated_. On the other hand, I've never even read 50% of the .sgml documentation even once. But even if I do, it will never have the "current" status of the one embedded in the/close to the code. As I said before, this thing has been tried numerous times before, and everybody reached the conclusion that the documentation pertaining to code should be as close to the code that it's documenting (see javadoc et. Co.). -- Dimi.

Re: WineLib and DLLs (Winedump)

Hi Jon I upgraded my autoconf, which solved my first problem. Now, everything runs fine until I get to the make install step, when I get this error: make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/stevenlu/wine/dlls/x11drv' mydll.dll.so \ rm -f /usr/local/lib/libntdll.dll.so make[1]: mydll.dll.so: Command not found make[1]: *** [install] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/stevenlu/wine/dlls' make: *** [dlls/__install__] Error 2 Winedump created dlls/mydll/mydll.so, not mydll.dll.so. Thanks for making those changes to the README, hopefully they'll get committed soon so other can avoid the problems I had. -Steve Hi Steve, On Wed, 18 Sep 2002 18:57, steve.lustbader(a)philips.com wrote: > The README section on inserting the stub dll into the wine tree > seems a little out-dated.

Yes, any time that you add or delete directories to the base distribution you need to re-run autoconf to generate a new configure script. In your case you are running an older version of autoconf. Make sure that you are running autoconf version 2.53 or higher, or this process will not work. There was a thread a while ago on allowing earlier versions of autoconf to be used to build Wine, but its not seen as too onerous to require a recent version for developers. > If I skip autoconf (which may be causing this problem), when > I run make depend I get: <snip> Yes, you have the dll directory and a Makefile.in in there, but no Makefile, since configure didn't get updated and generate one for you. > I ran the install script that winedump produced, but maybe that's > not up-to-date with respect to the current wine build process? I updated the build process following the big changes earlier this year for building on Win32. I don't believe there are any problems, but there have been some changes since then. If you have any issues let me know and I'll try and iron them out. If I get a moment I'll update the README on requiring a new autoconf also. I was considering allowing generated DLL'd to be built out of the tree but I didn't want to be generating too many files from winebuild (and autoconf files for a whole new dll project can be quite large). Cheers, Jon

Debug info of so
by Fabian Cenedese 20 Sep '02

20 Sep '02

Hi I changed my application now from calling a Win32 dll to calling a Linux so. But of course I can't load the pdb file I have from the Windows dll. Is there something similar for Linux? How can I generate such a file and how do I tell Wine to use it? I made the so with KDEdevelop. Thanks Fabi

That's the easiest way of implementing both the W and A variant of an API. There are numerous examples of such behavior in Wine. For the patch, the preferred format is unified (diff -u). You can add a line "diff -u" in your .cvsrc to do it automatically. Vincent

Problem with redraw/initialization in the X11 driver
by Martin Cracauer 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hi, first of all let me say that I am impressed by the progress that wine made in the last months and I also see that working things don't get broken for long anymore. Congrats! I have one problem with a game and I think the problem might be easy to solve if you point me to the right piece of code. Basically the game (TacOps4) works fine, including all of OpenPlay.dll based networking, but there is a redraw problem with the X11 driver. When using the game in Wine, I see that Wine often draws white all over the main window of this application, and only parts which are redrawn manually by the game are rendered correctly. I think it is a safe guess that we see overcautious wine code in action here, initially the window to white with good intentions, but the application tries to optimize its redraw strategy and hence leaves all the white that wine draws. I tried switching on and off all the X11 driver options (dga etc.), but the problem was unaffected. The same problem appears in exactly the same way on Linux and FreeBSD. I am using XFree4.2 and the CVS version of DRI. I placed a screenshot showing the problem at http://www.cons.org/tmp/wine-tacops-problem.png You see that the main window is mostly white except for one item which I just dragged from the small window to the main window, where the game redrew just this area of the main window, and a second small area of the main window which the game engine redrew for whatever reason. Any suggestions about Wine code I should mess around with? Maybe there is explicit code which does this whitening that I could disable or make more clever? A demo of this game is available, showing the same symptoms, in can anybody wants to try it. ftp://ftp.battlefront.com/pub/demos/tacops4/tacops4demo_i.exe Mail me if you are unfamiliar with the game and want to see the bug fast, I don't want to clutter up this mail. Thanks! Martin

Replacing a DLL
by steve.lustbader＠philips.com 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

I have a windows app that calls LoadLibrary on all the DLLs in a certain directory. It doesn't actually call any functions in the DLL; simply loading it causes the desired effects to take place. I'd like to replace one of those DLLs with a WineLib version that calls some Linux functions. I've compiled the WineLib dll with Winemaker, so now I have mydll.dll.so. It's written in C++, by the way. How can I replace the normal mydll.dll, such that the Windows program will load the winelib dll when I run it with Wine? -Steve

by Raul Dias 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

Hi, I am having some difficulty into understanding some parts of wine source because of my lack of win32 knowledge. I am looking for undertanding into win32 types like WCHAR, LPWSTR, LPCWSTR and so on. I tryed to search msdn for this but I did not find any good doc about it. So, can someone point me good urls about this? thanks, Raul Dias
