( REPOST, again: I was told that my massages need long time to appear because I'm not subscribed as frank.schruefer@t-online.de, ok, but my postings as wine@man-made.de (which I'm subscribed as) never come through. Maybe that is because mozilla only allows configuration for one outgoing mailserver which is the t-online one? Anything I could do about the situation? )
I'll soon come up with a win98 winnt comparison for the functions in question. I just have some trouble setting up *real* windows, believe it or not, asrock with SIS is nothing (old) windows' like! Setting up wine is much easier LOL!
Hy,
Ok, I made a simple test programm reading argv, GetCommandLineA and GetModuleFileNameA. I failed with NtCurrentTeb, even after installing microsoft sdk ... it didn't get linked. Well, I actually have very little experience if it comes to the C language but the test results I already have answer most of our questions already I think.
I'd say the bottom line of the test results below is that wine almost perfectly simulates win32s behaviour but has no support for win9x be- haviour (regarding GetCommandLine* and argv). Changing the 'Windows' config parameter of wine in the [Version] sec- tion didn't make any difference to the test results from wine. That's what needs to be changed.
Some of you suggested to always deliver full path but as some others said I also think that might break more programs than it'll make work so I'd oppose that idea. I think the solution is something like: if(GetVersion() & 0x80000000) /* not win32s */ { behave_as_win9x_and_modify_actual_command_line(); } else { behave_as_now(); } Basically: make the 'Windows' param in [Version] affect whether the command line is altered or not.
So in my eyes it should come down to this: if(keeper_started_with_full_path() || wine_behaves_as_win9x_set_in_config()) { keeper_working = TRUE; } // woohoo! That I call programming ;-)
To introduce a totally new config param to set wines behaviour here is neither necessary nor desireable.
I see only one question remaining: at which place in wine should the commandline be modified if_win9x is 'set'? In GetCommandLineA? Guess no. Somewhere before CreateProces I think. But as I already menitioned c is not my mother tongue so I hope somebody else here might come up with the final solution ...
Appendet here you'll find the source of a little test prog, a batch and the output the prog produced on: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 and Wine (on SuSE Linux 9.0).
As I read it simulation of win9x behaviour needs to replace slashs by backslashs (which win32s has no probles with but 9x does) and relative paths by full paths and also the return of GetModuleFileNameA should be made to all uppercase - just to be on the safe side.
