by Alex Villacís Lasso 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Last week I sent the following patches that add DECIMAL support for OLEAUT32: 1) Tests for all missing functionality: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020849.html 2) Call VarDecDiv and VarDecSub from variant.c: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020850.html 3) Correct scaling of high 32 bits of DECIMAL: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020851.html 4) Add full VarBstrFromDec support: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020852.html 5) Add full VarDecMul support: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020853.html 6) Add full VarDecDiv support: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2005-September/020854.html Of these, only patches 2 and 3 have been commited. Could somebody explain (especially Mr. Alexandre Julliard) whether these patches have been noticed? If so, what can be done to improve them? Alex Villacís Lasso

RH8 spec for 20050830
by Michael Ost 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Can someone who understands wine build issues review this RPM spec file for me, please? The RPMs for Redhat 8 are getting pretty long in the tooth on the Wine downloads page... dating back to May 24. I wanted to build a source RPM to work with, so I modified the 20050524 spec file for 20050830. It seems that there are changes in fonts and documentation. I removed some lines that were keeping rpmbuild from working. But I feel like I am tampering with issues beyond my grasp. Do the attached changes to the spec file look ok (temporarily marked with "todo")? Any gotchas? Anything missing? Thanks... mo --- wine-20050524-1rh8winehq.spec 2005-05-30 19:48:05.000000000 -0700 +++ wine-20050830-1rh8winehq.spec 2005-09-26 11:46:08.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -%define DATE 20050524 +%define DATE 20050830 Summary: A Windows 16/32 bit emulator.

Organizing more Wine bug triage
by dank＠kegel.com 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Wine's bugzilla has 375 unconfirmed bugs reported since the beginning of the year. A fair number of these are worth fixing, but don't have good recipes for how to reproduce them. I think it's time to make a concerted effort to recruit more Wine users to help triage bug reports, so wine developers can spend less time sorting through poor bug reports. As a first stab, I've created a web page, http://kegel.com/wine/qa describing bug triage and giving easy steps for people who are interested in helping. Please have a look. Comments and suggestions for improvement welcome. Thanks, Dan

Problem Resolve
by j0zue＠o2.pl 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi, I had a problem with Wine20050830 compilation. Error: error parse before "BerElement"; in lines: 289, 290, 322, 323 in "wine/dlls/wldap32/winldap_private.h" file. In file winldap.h I found declaration of BerElement type. This header is not included in winldap_private.h. I put declaration of BerElement type to winldap_private.h and it resolved the problem. I tried add line: #include "winldap.h" to winldap.h too, but it makes double declaration errors. I'm sorry if my English is horrible :) Well I hope my letter will be helpful. Perhaps this error appear only on my computer (?) :D Fun of your Wine.

headless question, and IPC question
by Ken Larson 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

I'm using wine to access a particular proprietary DLL (I don't have the source for it) on Linux. The way I'm doing this is to write an EXE that wraps the DLL, and makes all of the functions available via socket request and response messages. My linux program has access to the functions of the DLL by sending socket messages to the EXE running under wine. 2 questions: 1. My DLL/EXE uses no calls to pop up graphical windows, so theoretically no display is needed. Of course wine needs a display because it does not know that an EXE won't make such calls. Is there a way to run wine with a null or dummy display - so that it is effectively running headless? 2. The sockets trick was the simplest way I could figure out how to do IPC between a linux process and a wine process. However, is there are any better or faster way to do this? As far as I know I can't use winelib because I don't have the source to the DLL. Thanks, Ken Larson

Documentation volunteer(s) needed
by Alexandre Julliard 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Folks, As most of you probably know (at least those of you who managed to get out of bed in time for my keynote ;-) we are supposed to release 0.9 real soon now. We do have one remaining issue: the documentation needs some major work. Not every bit of it is critical for the release, but we need to fix at least the User's Guide to reflect the recent configuration changes. Would anybody be interested in helping with that? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Single sign-on SoC project summary
by Kai Blin 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Hi folks, Dimi asked me to give a little status about the single sing-on summer of code project I was doing to the list, and I'm happy to oblige. Applications running on win32 can use the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to handle authentication via a number of protocols, like kerberos, NTLM, Negotiate and Schannel. My project was to implement the NTLM and Negotiate protocols, using Andrew Bartlett's GENSEC implementation from samba4. Samba offers a command line tool to provide NTLM ( and, in samba 4, Negotiate ) style authentication for other programs, so my task was to get wine to use ntlm_auth. Things that got done: --------------------- * Base64 codec ntlm_auth was first designed as a helper for squid. Squid talks to it's helpers using base64, wine just had an encoder for it. * Code to run ntlm_auth ntlm_auth doesn't store all the state information needed for the protocol handshake, so some wrapping code was needed. * Code that implements the security support providers for NTLM and Negotiate. To make the sspi functions behave properly, the api functions have to do the right thing. Work still left to do: ---------------------- * Getting the code into cvs: While most of the code was already submitted to the wine-patches list, a lot of it was still in need of improvements. I'm currently working on this. * Getting more of the stubs to actually do something While the code that exists so far can handle the basic NTLM and Negotiate authentication, a lot of functions defined in the API still are stubs. Conclusion: ----------- As soon as the code is in cvs, wine should be able to do basic NTLM and Negotiate authentication, server and client side. Client side just requires ntlm_auth, server side also requires samba to be set up correctly, and when using samba 3, access to the winbindd named pipe for the user running wine. Real use of this code seems limited, as most use cases also use the schannel protocol, which isn't implmented yet. Juan Lang is working on this, but needs to get more of crypt32 implemented for that. I will continue to work on this, there's still a lot of providers to go. I would like to use this summary to extend my thanks to Google and Chris DiBona for getting the whole Summer of Code set up. Also, I'd like to thank you guys, particularly Juan, for the help I have recieved so far. It's really fun to work with the project, I hope to keep doing so for a while.
