Has anyone worked or is currently working on porting the x86 specific code in Winebuild to ARM? Specifically the relay.c file?
Thanks Roger R. Cruz
Is anyone interested in helping me port the x86 specific code in Winebuild to ARM so I can get the relay tracing working? I am relatively new to ARM so any help would be appreciate it. Thanks Roger R. Cruz

It's on my todo list: http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
It won't be that easy and not only winebuild is involved, but also ntdll. I'm not that good in understanding x86 asm, but the code is partially commented, still i need to figure out the intention of every single line. How would you imagine "helping you to port"?
Hi Andre,
I am willing to help as much as my knowledge allows me to port this. The last time I wrote anything in ARM was about 15+ years ago so my knowledge of it is rather limited. I'm also trying to understand what every line of the assembly code is doing in x86. If someone with more knowledge were willing to port this file for us, it would be a great start :-) but failing that, I can fold up my sleeves and take a crack at it.
Roger

First: Please bottom post on this list. I doubt someone else will port it anytime soon, so maybe you start trying it and i try to help you as much as i can or you wait until i get time to do it myself.

It seems we were misreading the source. winebuilds relay.c has nothing to do with relay tracing. the code is in ntdlls relay.c and in winebuilds spec32.c in function output_relay_debug. I'm working on it as it's much easier than what i've seen in the wrong file :) Expect a patch quite soon.
That is great Andre. I managed to work-around the issue for the time-being but having this work properly on ARM is a great step. Looking forward to your contribution. Regards, Roger

How did you work around it? Can i please get a patch if available?
I worked around it by not needing the information about the number of arguments and their sizes which is what I was asking for at the time. However, I still have the need for that data so once Wine makes it available, I can change my code to consume it. Regards Roger Cruz

OK, so what you are doing? qemu integration, or what do you need the argument number for?
