Re: Linux patch for supporting shortcuts and symlinks on VFAT

> It seem that at least some people are against it inclusion so I > wonder whether we should support inclusion of the patch or not. I'd agree that doing it at the kernel level isn't the answer. You don't want to abstract that information away from the user. Plus, like Francois mentioned there's a bunch of cases where it's just not going to work. However, what would be interesting (if you're going to parse the .lnk file anyway) is to display it as a symlink, but not actually have it operate as a link. For instance: -rw-r--r-- 1 vinn power 22 Jun 11 09:16 junk -> c:\Program Files\bar At that point it becomes useful to parse large directories of .lnk files by simply reading the directory. Leave it up to the application (Wine, etc) to figure out how to translate the path. With proper error handling you could probably add it as a "feature" to every filesystem. </$.02> -brian

Well, the meanings of these address types are, if I remember right: Real = 16-bit real mode seg:ofs address Dos = 32-bit offset from DOSMEM_dosmem (aka DOSMEM_MemoryBase()) (unless it's above 1MB, then it's considered a linear pointer) (after the DOS restructure, DOSMEM_dosmem is always 0, which is probably why it worked for you) Linear = 32-bit linear pointer that you can dereference in Wine code I consider the "Dos" memory type pretty useless, there's almost never a reason to use it instead of linear memory or something... > What I read says that the stack's lowest address contains IP and the word > above that is the code segment for the return. IP:CS I'm not sure that I > could just point a segment:offset converting function at an address in that > format and get the linear address. Well, you can, as long as we stick to x86 (might be trickier if we were to write a CPU emulator, but I guess there would be lots of places to change then anyway). > I've done the reverse conversion be backing IP up 2 bytes. You have two versions of the Int3dHandler in your patch. One of them isn't changed... Anyway, if it helps, here's how I might have written your routine (without the error checking), if I thought that perhaps these interrupts are also used by win16 apps (otherwise the second CTX_SEG_OFF_TO_LIN(...) can be replaced with PTR_REAL_TO_LIN(stack[1], stack[0])) void FPU_ModifyCode(CONTEXT86 *context, BYTE Opcode) { WORD *stack = CTX_SEG_OFF_TO_LIN(context, context->SegSs, context->Esp) BYTE *code = CTX_SEG_OFF_TO_LIN(context, stack[1], stack[0]); code[-2] = 0x9b; code[-1] = Opcode; stack[0] -= 2; }

Problems converting DLL to unix SO with winelib
by List vmn 11 Jun '02

Hello Wine-devel, I finaly got the expected results from my simple tests to get a winelib DLL and test application to work. I am pretty sure that I am still doing something wrong in these tests !!!!! Can somebody say if the below setup is correct and if not what would be the correct way to create a winelib "dll" and then call it from a winelib executable. I am using wine-20020509. =>I start with a simple DLL file called mytest.c and use winemaker to create a libmytest.so bash#cd ~/mytest.dll bash#ls mytest.c bash#cat mytest.c //mytest.c #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL , DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved ) { printf("DllMain called\n"); return TRUE; } void usefullFunction() { printf("Usefull function got called\n"); } //end of mytest.c bash#winemaker --dll --nomfc . <output suppressed> bash#cat libmytest.spec name mytest type win32 mode dll init DllMain import kernel32.dll import ntdll.dll bash# ./configure <output suppressed> bash# make && make install gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I. -I/usr/local/include/wine -o mytest.o mytest.c ld -r mytest.o -o libmytest.tmp.o strip --strip-unneeded libmytest.tmp.o LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /usr/local/bin/winebuild -fPIC -L/usr/local/lib/wine -sym libmytest.tmp.o -o libmytest.spec.c -spec ./libmytest.spec gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I. -I/usr/local/include/wine -o libmytest.spec.o libmytest.spec.c gcc -shared -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-Bsymbolic -o libmytest.so mytest.o libmytest.spec.o -lwine -lwine_unicode -lwine_uuid -lm _list=""; for i in $_list; do (cd $i; make install) || exit 1; done _list=" "; for i in $_list; do install $i /usr/local/bin; done _list="libmytest.so"; for i in $_list; do install $i /usr/local/lib; done bash# #Now I have a /usr/local/lib/libmytest.so file \ #I think the next commands are wrong... bash# cd /usr/local/lib bash# cp libmytest.so wine/mytest.dll.so bash# ln -s wine/mytest.dll.so libmytest.dll.so bash# #This was done so that I can write \ # import mytest.dll \ # in a spec file and "register with wine" this so =>I now create a simple winelib application to call mytest called "callmytest" =>Call my test is defined in callmytest.c bash# cd ~/callmytest bash#ls callmytest.c bash# cat callmytest.c //start of callmytest.c #include "windows.h" extern usefullFunction(); int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE a,HINSTANCE b,LPSTR c ,int d) { usefullFunction(); } //end of callmytest.c bash# winemaker --guiexe -imytest.dll -lmytest.dll . <output suppressed> bash# cat callmytest.spec name callmytest type win32 mode guiexe init WinMain import kernel32.dll import ntdll.dll import mytest.dll bash# ./configure <output suppressed> bash# make gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I. -I/usr/local/include/wine -o callmytest.o callmytest.c ld -r callmytest.o -o callmytest.tmp.o strip --strip-unneeded callmytest.tmp.o LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /usr/local/bin/winebuild -fPIC -L/usr/local/lib/wine -sym callmytest.tmp.o -o callmytest.spec.c -spec ./callmytest.spec gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I. -I/usr/local/include/wine -o callmytest.spec.o callmytest.spec.c gcc -shared -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-Bsymbolic -o callmytest.so callmytest.o callmytest.spec.o -lmytest.dll -lwine -lwine_unicode -lwine_uuid -lm test -f callmytest || ln -s /usr/local/bin/wine callmytest bash# ./callmytest DllMain called Usefull function got called DllMain called QUESTION 1: I think that adding -imytest.dll -lmytest.dll to winemaker --guiexe -imytest.dll -lmytest.dll . is wrong.

Well, that is a problem as well. Perhaps you could link to some sort of autogenerated shell script in /proc/windows/links say you access /mnt/c/test.lnk and you get a shell script in /proc/windows/links/mnt/c/test.lnk or something that /mnt/c/test.lnk symlinks to. > * and the icon of course.

It might could trouble for Wine is such a feature exists some user might active it so we have to handle that case. BTW. I just though of another thing. Perhaps we should support the opposite.

See: > * Jeremy White - isofs unhide option: troubles with Wine > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102230123607864&w=2 I basicly agree with your opinion. The hidden attribute is metadata meant as advice for the application not something the operating system should concern itself.

Linux patch for supporting shortcuts and symlinks on VFAT
by Patrik Stridvall 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

I notice that I patch have been posted to the linux-kernel that might be of intrest to us. vfat patch for shortcut display as symlinks for 2.4.18 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102358795411222&w=2 It seem that at least some people are against it inclusion so I wonder whether we should support inclusion of the patch or not. I'm personally a little doubtful that it is a good idea... Comments?

GLU32 status & update
by Vincent Béron 11 Jun '02

11 Jun '02

After investigating bug #783 (Wine20020605: Problems with build of dlls/glu32), here are my conclusions so far (not finished yet, but I need a bit of advice on next direction to pursue): First, we need to not compile glu32 is no libGLU.so is found. The test for libGLU is already in configure, the only thing missing is some logic in the dlls/Makefile (or maybe dlls/glu32/Makefile?) to not build it. Next, the version of the GLU implementation of MS is 1.2. That's fine as long as the same (or more recent) version is found while building. I'm currently using Mesa 3.4.2 on RH 7.2, which is GLU 1.1 compliant. The GL/glu.h has the defines for 1.2 and 1.3, but the lib/libGLU.so doesn't have any implementation. Some more recent distributions (eg, RH 7.3) has the SGI GLU implementation which is 1.3. So we need to check this also. What would be the best thing to do if the native GLU is < 1.2? Not build dlls/glu32 at all? There's a way to map 1.1 call to 1.2 or beyond, but not the other way around (or I'm not aware of it). I finished correcting the prototypes (compliant with MSDN) in glu.c for a native GLU 1.2. Now I'd like to have some input as to what to do wrt a native GLU 1.1. If you have some advice, I'll appreciate them. Vincent

I have *finally* gotten around to upgrading our Bugzilla. We are now running version 2.14.2. This build seems to solve some long overdue usability complaints. One of the big differences I noticed is that there is levels of "Resolved" now. If you notice any issues with the new bugzilla, please submit issues about it to the "Bugzilla" product. -- __ _WebGeek/NetAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman@codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1842980 Yahoo: laxdragon
