New to wine
by Rolf Kalbermatter 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

Hello I happened to find wine when researching some undocumented stuff in shell32.dll for my own shell extensions I had written. It was interesting to see how things may be done in windows. I also identified some parts in the wine shell32 which need more attention and plan to submit some patches concerning that after I have familiarized myself a little more with wine. Since I had no Linux system at my hands I tried to use the Visual C 5 compiler on my windows system to compile the shell32 dll and found some problems with that. Separate from some wine specific project definitions which need to be made for Visual C to process the wine headers Iand which I probably haven't done all properly) there was one problem with function pointer definitions. All wine headers seem to declare function pointers like <return value> WINAPI (*<function pointer name)(<parameter list>) Visual C 5 does not like the WINAPI (eg __stdcall) outside of the brackets and requires: <return value> (WINAPI *<function pointer name>)(<parameter list>) I could also not find any comprehensible ANSI C description which would care to explain what would be the correct way of function pointer declarations with a calling convention identifier. I tried to figure out how this could be solved. Declaring WINAPI to be empty and telling Visual C to use __stdcall as default gives other problems with internal wine functions without explicit calling convention declaration and with a variable argument list, which requires __cdecl. The only way I could find was to adjust the function pointer definitions in the affected headers. Of course this goes quite far and might cause problems with other compilers. As I will soon have a new development machine on which I will install Linux alongside of Windows I can fairly easily check if this would cause problems with gcc, but wine seems to care for more compilers than that and I have no idea if such a change would cause problems (it probably would anyhow :-| ). Maybe there is someone on this list which can give me an direct answer to this. Rolf Kalbermatter

Unfortunetely there won't be any flamewar as far as I'm concerned since don't care very much either way. :-) But if anybody is intrested in my opinion anyway here goes: I'm slightly against changing the versioning scheme before 1.0. After 1.0 we probably want to have so sort of different versioning especially since we might release different versions of the DLL:s independently of each other. However I don't think there is much use of having that pre 1.0.

True, but you might be able to get them relicense certain parts for wine. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

GetNearestColor Fix
by Dave Hawkes 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Fix for GetNearestColor so it returns the true color rather than the system palette if the device does not support a palette (ie > 256 colors). This not quite what the Windows SDK docs say, but it's what happens in practice... Dave Hawkes

DOSfs - further work ?
by Keith Matthews 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

While this is not critical, or even a large amount of work, I noticed when playing around with the floppy media problem that wine does not attempt to mount either a floppy or CD to display the contents. Was this intentional does anyone remember ? If not does anyone have reservations about trying to enable it? -- Keith Matthews Frequentous Consultants - Linux Services, Oracle development & database administration

Patch that broke SetFileAttributes
by Jukka Heinonen 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Fallout II requires that a certain file is located on a CDROM drive. For some reason it checks this using SetFileAttributes, which is supposed to fail on readonly drives. This used to work until the following patch broke this behaviour (message continues after the patch): Index: file.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/win32/file.c,v retrieving revision 1.26 retrieving revision 1.27 diff -u -r1.26 -r1.27 --- file.c 2001/05/14 20:09:39 1.26 +++ file.c 2001/05/18 23:18:25 1.27 @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ { FILE_SetDosError(); MESSAGE("Wine ERROR: Couldn't set file attributes for existing file \"%s\". Check permissions or set VFAT \"quiet\" flag !\n", full_name.long_name); - return FALSE; + return TRUE; } return TRUE; } The above patch obviously breaks Windows compatibility (and likely has a bug related to FILE_SetDosError). I would like to suggest that this patch is either removed or replaced with a patch that includes a C comment that properly documents reasons for this deliberate incompatibility and that either only affects non-CDROM drives or drives configured using some magic flag in Wine configuration file. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

system directory selection
by Brian Elliott 29 Jan '02

29 Jan '02

Hi folks, I just installed WINE for the first time and had some trouble getting dlls to load until I set the "system" option to my Win2k partition's system32 directory in wine.conf. Auto discovery of the proper system directory for wine.conf by wineinstall seems like a useful thing for new users. Would it be useful if I put together a small patch to the wineconf program so that running wineinstall will select the right system directory for configuration? Also, is it correct to assume that if a system32 subdirectory exists under the winnt or windows directory that it should be set given preference in wine.conf as the system directory?
