VirtualAlloc bug ?
by Laurent Pinchart 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

Hi, I tried to use VirtualAlloc with MEM_COMMIT to map a page at address 0x7ffe0000. The call to VirtualAlloc failed with ERROR_INVALID_ADDRESS. I then tried to reserve the pages first, using VirtualAlloc with MEM_RESERVE, and the call to VirtualAlloc/MEM_COMMIT worked fined after that. The MSDN state that "(MEM_COMMIT) If a memory page is not yet reserved, setting this value causes the function to both reserve and commit the memory page.". Is that a wine bug ? I can try to fix it, but I'm scared to break something in VirtualAlloc, as I'm new to wine internals. Laurent Pinchart

FreeBSD/Solaris and -lc
by Francois Gouget 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

When I compile Wine on FreeBSD and Solaris I keep getting 'undefined sybol' errors for all the C library symbols. So I usually add the following to 'configure.ac'. Index: configure.ac =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/configure.ac,v retrieving revision 1.14 diff -u -r1.14 configure.ac --- configure.ac 31 Mar 2002 19:23:41 -0000 1.14 +++ configure.ac 31 Mar 2002 20:45:37 -0000 @@ -77,6 +77,8 @@ dnl **** Check for some libraries **** +dnl Check for -lc for FreeBSD and Solaris +AC_CHECK_LIB(c,getpid) dnl Check for -lm AC_CHECK_LIB(m,sqrt) dnl Check for -li386 for NetBSD and OpenBSD But is it the right eay to do things? What worries me is that I found some messages related to libtool that claim that -lc should not be explicitly linked in on FreeBSD (and OpenBSD): http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/libtool/2001-November/005782.html But maybe things are different if you use -symbolic. -- François Gouget fgouget(a)codeweavers.com

DirectX API information - where?
by Tels 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Moin, I want to learn more about the directx and general windows APIs. Now I looked at some books, but was very unsure as to buy what and where, if ever. First, it seems that good books about these topics come from Microsoft Press. Naturally I don't want to support them ;) Second, it seems that you need for the examples and SDK Visual C++ - again from MS. Eeek! And of course, you have to run and use it under Windows *sigh* I am also worried about the different EULAs, licence and all that other stuff "tainting" me - even though I do believe that all of this stuff isn't legal binding for me anyway. But you never know. So, my question: Where can I obtain *free* information about the API's, their working etc. What do you use? Books you can advise? Thank you in advance, Tels - -- "Why do you go so slowly? Do you think this is some kind of game?"

Read of memory location 0x7ffe0000 in windows NT
by Laurent Pinchart 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Hi everybody, I've stumbled accross some code which reads a dword at memory location 0x7ffe000, which causes the program to crash and the wine debugger to start. After some investigation, it seems that reading the memory location 0x7ffe0000 should return KeTickCount.LowPart to the user process. Has anyone ever heard about that ? I was wondering if it was a native windows NT behaviour, or if it was done by a special kernel-space exception handler installed by the program. The assembly code which does the trick is pusha mov $0x7ffe0000,%edx mov (%edx),%eax mov %eax,0xfffffffc(%ebp) popa mov 0xfffffffc(%ebp),%eax Any idea anyone ? Thanks for your help. Laurent Pinchart

dynamic .fon conversion
by David Chow 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Hi, I am new to Wine develop, I wish to investigate and join, the following is the topic I am interested in. Does Wine develpers planning to implement .fon files support? I mean loading it dynamically? Since Xfree86 4 supports true type fonts, and most of the Linux distribution are now using XFree86-4 . We can actually load these fonts into the Xsever dynamically at run time providing we have some dynamic conversion between the font files. David

Regression: Wine won't compile with latest cvs shlwapi
by Tony Lambregts 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

I can't get recent cvs versions to compile. After running cvs update -PAd and ./tools/installwine I get these messages gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 make[2]: *** [ordinal.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/wine/dlls/shlwapi' make[1]: *** [shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.so] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/wine/dlls' make: *** [dlls] Error 2 Compilation failed, aborting install. At first I thought it might be something wrong with my system so I backed out cvs to March 1st 2002 and everything worked. I talked to Lawson on wine-users and he says I should look at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ (This link is about mostly about compiling a kernal but it applies to compiling wine as well) I have looked at it and tried most of the things suggested in it. I still stop in exactly the same place. Things i have tried I ran dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=96 and re-ran make I lowered my clock speed from 200mhz to 133mhz I have 4 72 pin simms, 2-16's and 2-32's I have tried compiling with each set individualy I have increased my swap space None of this helped. In the mean time I have done some regression testing using CVS cvs update -D "2002-03-19 19:31:04 CST" ./configure make depend && make compiles with no errors cvs update -D "2002-03-19 19:33:40 CST" ./configure make depend && make results with this gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 make[2]: *** [ordinal.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/wine/dlls/shlwapi' make[1]: *** [shlwapi/shlwapi.dll.so] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/wine/dlls' make: *** [dlls] Error 2 Compilation failed, aborting install. This is the patch that was commited at 19:33:39 CST http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/03/0072.html Now I'm not the shapest knife in the drawer in fact I can be quite dull but this is a very strong indication that this patch is the one that is causing the problem. What do I need to do now? Tony Lambregts

apologies to all

Hello All, I am VERY VERY sorry for sending the entire list such a large attachment. I hope that you all will forgive me and it will not happen again. I have no excuse except to say that I was getting too excited about the implementation and did not look at the size of the files. Sorry again, Lonnie -- Lonnie Cumberland OutStep Technologies Incorporated EMAIL: Lonnie(a)OutStep.com : Lonnie_Cumberland(a)yahoo.com The Basis Express Virtual Office & Data Backup and Recovery Services URL: http://www.basis-express.com "The Virtual Office without boundaries!!!"

SharedUserData
by Laurent Pinchart 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Hi everybody, I need to implement the SharedUserData, which is a page of memory located at (KERNEL_BASE - 0x10000) shared between user space (read-only access) and kernel space. Some information in that page are very accurate (system time in 100ns units for instance), so I don't think that it would be possible to create a shared page at (KERNEL_BASE - 0x10000) and refresh it fast enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the way to go would be to create a copy of that page in memory and initialize it when Wine starts (some information never change, like the system root or version number). When a user space program would try to access that page, the page fault exception handler would return the appropriate data. I'm not very familiar with Wine internals, so I might be wrong, or forget some important issues. Comments are more than welcome :-) I'd also appreciate if someone could give me some hints about the implementation (where I should look for the page fault exception handler, where I should initialize that shared data, where I can find the needed information to initialize those data, ...). Thanks in advance. Laurent Pinchart
