Hi Emmanuel, hello Wine developers,
Latest WineQuartz.drv patch is 0.9.58. Is there any change for
more  recent release? I tried this patch with 1.0-1 however it has
too  many conflicts.
It would be most convenient if you had just update
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/winequartzdrv.git  to match 1.1.0 somehow
and include Quartz.
I resolved conflicts for wine-1.0, but didn't take a look yet for
wine-1.1.0, i just know that's some changes in user32 and winex11.drv
have to be update in winequartz.drv too.
I will see this week end if i can find free time to make a new
patch  for winequartz.drv and send it to SourceForge.
(OpenGL is broken in winequartz.drv actually, because of a lack of
time to fix it)
...
Since Wine passed 1.0 (woohoo!) maybe someone from the direction
can  revise Mac support? Even there're numerous Emmanuel efforts
to  provide Mac UI driver instead of X11, it will be always pushed
aside, and sentenced to death, because it is not in official
sources.
I know Alexandre Julliard's decision about NOT taking any
Objective- C sources (.m) into the Wine, but maybe this can be
revised, anyway  all .m rules will be only present on Mac
platforms. Using Objective- C is only way to make fair support for
Mac OS GUI, as those whole  GUI system is objective.
Moreover then what's the point of keeping winex11.drv and all GUI
driver infrastructure in Wine if nothing else but X11 is NOT
accepted into official source?
Forgive me what I say now, but I just it would be more fair if
someone from Codeweavers just said that Wine's official support
for  Mac OS X is against their business with CrossOver and this is
the  real reason they reject winequartz.drv from Emmanuel Maillard.
Frankly I'd really pay for CrossOver or Wine, if it was what 1.0-1
is but with native Mac UI, so each wine process has it's own dock
icon, and no X11 is needed and native Mac font system.

Emmanuel:
What is the status of winequartz.drv?  It looks like your last patch
was for 1.1.2.
James McKenzie
Hi,
I didn't really work on winequartz.drv since this patch, start a new
version at the beginning of October,
but more or less waiting for DIB engine.
Emmanuel
Emmanuael:
Are you still working on this or have you abandoned it?
James McKenzie
Hi,
I stopped working on winequartz.drv for now ...
abandoned ? not totally, but i currently do not envisage to work again
on it.
Emmanuel:
At one time you stated that this work depends on a DIB engine.  Have you
looked at Max' work?
Also, did work get finished on 1.1.2 or did that stop as well?
