dos console apps question
by Chris Morgan 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Lately I've been trying to get some dos console apps running under wine. These apps run great under wineconsole but not so much just under wine due to the lack of a server side console for the routines in dlls/msdos/vga.c to output too. So, after poking all around it seems that at some point during the normal loading of an app that we should be calling out to the server with alloc_console to create a default console, and binding this console to the current terminal. Does anyone have any suggestions about this? What function this should be done in? Thanks, Chris

I will add a bit later today it and put in the test app as well.

How far along is the patch you have and would you be in need of any assistance? I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to have the parent process communicate with the child process and how this affects things. Is the problem how to capture and render the output from the application that was directed to the console and the standard handles? Couldn't this just be done in the appropriate win32 console functions for input/output and with standard unix handles passed around for stdio? Thanks, Chris

winedbg again :-)
by Max 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Some questions about winedbg usability ! 1) - Would it difficult to add an options (something like SHOWREGS=on/off) that allows to have regs displayed automatically after a breakpoint AND after a NEXTI command ? I find it painful to have to issue NEXTI and then INFO REGS each time.... remember old good ms-dos debugger !!! :-) 2)- What about the possibility to set off-code breakpoints ? It happens often that I must set a break (in asm code) that is in a DLL which isn't already loaded... That gives a BAD ADRESS, of course. Borland debugger accepts the breakpoints and set it when the code gets loaded. Now the only way is to set breaks in dll-loading routine, wait up to the wanted dll gets loaded and then put the break... awful ! 3)- And now the difficultest ! After solving the point 2, what about a way to store/retrieve breakpoints settings from disk ? Finding a bug in asm code often requires days (hmmm... nights !) of stepping, and a way to save breakpoints settings would spare tons of notes on paper :-) Regards Max

Yes, I've seen it after posting.... Don't have fully tested for bug 890, but AutoCAD2000 starts good now, as with my patch. I'll test it later on and close bug 890 Regards Max

I'm not sure this is a good idea, mkstemp() is apparently buggy in old libc versions. tmpnam() is actually pretty reasonable assuming it is used correctly, which of course is not the case everywhere but that could be fixed. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug

DGA is disabled as it breaks > my Nvidia driver when running the game. Well, I am investigating the DInput problem... Looks strange. I may well ask you to add some more TRACEs in the code to help me understand better what happens (ie if it's blocking in Wine code or in application code). But I would be interested on a +opengl trace too. And maybe you should try to remove all trace of glide2x.dll of your system (maybe once Tribes manages to load the glide2x it cancels OpenGL as it supposes that a system with Glide2x will work better with it than with OpenGL).
