I'm looking for suggestions for starter projects for new contributors that would take something like a week to do, and wouldn't require much knowledge of Wine ahead of time.
Tests!
Another way is: Fixing Tests, that currently fail on Windows. Test-Results: http://test.winehq.org/data Binaries: http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/
The MinGW Cross-Compiler is used to build the Binaries
I'm building native Windows-EXE using the Cross-Compiler-Packages from Hans ( http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/ )
A recent Example was the failure of "ntdll.dll:exception" on Win95-WinME - Run the Test on Windows to find the Problem - Fix the Problem - Build and run the Wine-Test: "make -C dlls/ntdll/tests/ test" - Build the Windows Test: "make -C dlls/ntdll/tests/ crosstest" - Run "ntdll_crosstest.exe" on all available Windows-Versions (I'm using qemu for this) - Create the "useful_name.diff" - Mail the Patch to wine-patches - Wait for Commit
