More wine beginner questions
by Mike Bond 23 May '01

23 May '01

I was just perusing through msvcrt and noticed that in wcs.c there is an implementation of _vsnwprintf, which also exists, verbatim, in it's entirety, in ntdll/wcstring.c. Unless I am misunderstanding the .spec files there appears to be a method of "forward"ing a symbol to an external implementation, such as: @ forward -noimport wcslen ntdll.wcslen Is there any particular reason this was not done for _vsnwprintf as well? There is even a comment in the wcs.c copy saying to mirror any fixes in the ntdll copy. Also, on perhaps a style note, I've noticed some implementations are prefixed by the dll name in all caps, such as MSVCRT_vfprintf, and some are not, such as _wmkdir. Is this just personal style or is there more to these differences? -- TTFN MikeB

Configuration/Announce
by eric pouech 23 May '01

23 May '01

with today's CVS commit (for those who stay up to date with the latest developments), you'll have to modify your Wine configuration to reflect the changes. First of all, your Wine configuration file now needs a WinMM section containing the following: [WinMM] "Drivers" = "wineoss.drv" "WaveMapper" = "msacm.drv" "MidiMapper" = "midimap.drv" Not adding this will print the following message > You didn't setup properly the config file for the Wine multimedia modules. > Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disapear soon. > Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file. Note that the above configuration will be shortly required, so don't wait before setting your configuration up Next, you have also to add a key to your registry. To do so, create a sample file (let's call it foo) containing the following text: [HKEY_LOCAL_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\MIDIMap] 989041554 "AutoScheme"=dword:00000000 "CurrentInstrument"="#0" "UseScheme"=dword:00000000 then goto the <wine>/programs/regapi and compile the program the run: regapi setValue < foo that's it Not applying the key in the registry will result in various errors in MIDIMAP_ functions (mainly if Wine is set up to use a native Windows system) Maintainers are welcome to update theirs packages accordingly (default values are in documentation/samples/config & winedefault.reg) Detailed information is available in documentation/multimedia.sgml.

There is no reason to force people to update their configuration file when there are workable defaults that we can use. Ideally Wine should behave reasonably even with an empty configuration file; this is not entirely possible because things like paths don't have reasonable defaults, but forcing people to specify things that we could guess is not user-friendly. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

But CVS claims that: cvs server: misc/comm.c is a new entry, no comparison available Yet I'm pretty sure I did not create such a file. But when a file is deleted CVS should not give me such a message. Is it because I made changes to these files (probably traces) that CVS did not dare delete them? But shouldn't it say 'was removed, no comparison available'? I also have this message for: cvs server: dlls/ddraw/ddraw/dga.c is a new entry, no comparison available cvs server: dlls/ddraw/ddraw/x11.c is a new entry, no comparison available cvs server: dlls/winspool/winspool.spec is a new entry, no comparison available cvs server: misc/comm.c is a new entry, no comparison available -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Broadcast message : fin du monde dans cinq minutes, repentez vous !

Re: Anybody know int-31?

No, the app is supposed to allocate a buffer of the right size (as returned by the int31 call) and pass it to the save/restore function in ES:EDI. Anyway, I'm not sure you need this functionality at all, the current implementation should work OK (except that it needs a dummy protected mode entry point). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

vxd support?
by Osvaldo Fornaro 22 May '01

22 May '01

Hi, I were far from the project for a while, so sorry if this topic is trivial, but I wish to use a parallel port scanner with wine. Under Windows, appears a device to treat the parallel port as a SCSI port, but is based on a VxD archive, and wine don't find it. Is there any solution to deal with VxD or not yet? Thanks in advance. -- Dr. Osvaldo Fornaro <ofornaro(a)exa.unicen.edu.ar> Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires Instituto de Física de Materiales Tandil - CICPBA Pinto 399 (B7000GHG) Argentina

Question on exposing non-windows functions from dlls...
by Mike Bond 22 May '01

22 May '01

I just submitted a patch to wine-patches that provides the implementation of spawnl and spawnlp. I had been hoping to implement execl and execlp as well but found that the underlying functionality that I would need is not exposed outside scheduler/process.c. My question is what guidelines are there, if any, are there to exposing non-win functions, such as exec_wine_binary in scheduler/process.c? Also, from just a cursory glance at exec_wine_binary that I may need to wrap it to do some of the work that fork_and_exec and PROCESS_Create are doing, such as calling DOSFS_GetFullName. I'm not sure what, if anything, the server would need to know about this. -- TTFN MikeB

Then we cannot use the current code on NetBSD, otherwise we'll be eating 100% CPU as soon as an fd becomes -1. You'll probably need to do a poll() wrapper that removes the invalid fds before calling the real poll. Or you could ask the NetBSD folks to fix their implementation. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

problem starting winword 97SR2
by Heiko Nardmann 22 May '01

22 May '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When starting WinWord I get a dialog saying that either I have not enough work space or memory space. The program exits then. So after playing with the debug options I found out that this happens after a key named "Office.SharedMemory.1" is accessed inside the registry. Can someone tell me what to do to make word no longer complain? BTW: I use wine 20010112 since the last snapshot 20010418 does not work on my machine (unhandled exception).
