Hey everyone,
I think I got the reason why winlib's winboard doesn't work. The createprocessa function doesn't work on either the winlib compiled version or the native version. Although the winelib version of winboard works better than the windows version. This is the output I got from the windows version:
fixme:process:CreateProcessA (C:\winboard\GNUChess.exe,...): CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP ignored fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler ((nil),1) - no error checking or testing yet
It fired up GNUchess.exe and openend it in a window, but then it crashed
:(. The winelib counterpart gave me a more useful debug report:
fixme:gdi:ExtCreatePen Hatches not implemented fixme:gdi:ExtCreatePen Hatches not implemented fixme:gdi:ExtCreatePen Hatches not implemented ....
fixme:process:CreateProcessA (C:\winboard\GNUChess.exe,...): CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP ignored fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler ((nil),1) - no error checking or testing yet
If you need the patch to compile and can't find it in the mail listing, just contact me :).
I hope someone can fix it.
