WIDL problems

[Rolf Kalbermatter]

I'm trying to get a new shell object into Wine and seeing that most of the
object definition stuff has recently been moved to IDL files I wondered if
I could define the object in shobjidl.idl.

However I seem to get some problems compiling shobjidl.idl with with widl.

I tried ./tools/widl/widl -I ./include ./include/shobjidl.idl and get an error.

To be sure it wasn't caused by my editing I made sure the entire include dir is
an unmodified version of the CVS tree and tried it there and I still get the error

./include/shobjidl.idl:426: Error: method index mismatch in write_proxy

What is the problem here? Should I just sent in the patch to shobjidl.idl and
the header file gets generated automatically with some more capable tool?

By the way I noticed also that IPersistFolder3 got probably overlooked when moving
the definitions to idl files.

You should use widl -h to only generate the header. Or easier do 'make
idl' in the include directory.

Many others have not been moved either, it's because they are not in
the idl file on Windows. I'll probably move them anyway, but I need to
look more carefully at them to make sure we remain 100% compatible.
