Parallels Wine dlls rebuilt with mingw for your testing

[Steven Edwards]

Hi,
I expect if any ofyou are interested you've already talked to Stefan
about the code drop from Parallels he is reviewing. I did a build of
the drop with Mingw and was able to build everything except ddraw.dll.
If anyone is interested in the binary and makefiles, I've forwarded
the information on to Stefan with directions on how to build and a
rather hackish patch. He said he would post the mingw package sometime
later today.

Thanks

Hi,

I have went through the code changes of d3d8 in parallels.
And done a diff with 0.9.36 code, there are almost no changes.
There are some changes for checking certain functions while loading the dll.
They have put code in the getting of registry keys in the DllMain.
These are changes noticed in d3d8.
Will see the rest of the code?
Got some other work....

bye,
VJ

I had a look at the DLLs, and most of the changes are fixes to get WineD3D 
compiled on Windows with Visual Studio. In DDraw, there are a number of 
nameless union changes. Also in each dll(ddraw,d3d8,d3d9) they added a 
passthrough option to call the original MS libs. In WineD3D they replaced GLX 
with their propritary OpenGL ICD.

There is also one attempted bugfix for a lighting problem, but which is 
wrong(and wine 0.9.36 has a test to show that they are wrong).

All in all there is nothing really interesting in their changes, however I 
have written a nice reply mail back inviting them to participate actively in 
the development of WineD3D.
