Hello all,
I know this will only interest a small portion of you but thought i
would give a quick update on the state of IMM32 since I have brought it
to a major milestone.
All the main patches are in which now separate IMM32 and IMEs. There
is still more work to do but the major framework is in place. X11 XIM
processing should be unchanged. However wine can now begin to load
native windows IMEs as well.
I have tested with windows ATOK20 (a popular Japanese IME) and
successfully had text processing in a fully IME aware application. There
are still clear issues to resolve in many aspects of this processing but
we have forward progress.
ImmInstallIME does not work yet, nor does switching keyboards. So to
get the native IME to work you need to add this registry key.
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\<keyboard layout>]
"Ime File"=<IME filename>
so for example for ATOK20 in Japanese i used.
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\e0010411]
"Ime File"="ATOK20W.IME"
I would love to hear how well things work. I am sure using native IMEs
will quickly show us many places where IMM32 needs to be improved.
One issues I am going to investigate next is that sometimes non x11drv
ime initialization, if occurring too early, causes x11drv to fail to
create windows. I have not investigated with the latest changes to
xim.c (which may already correct this problem) but if you see this
problem this patch may help and i believe the
IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL) is already unneeded.

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since
0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro
supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages
site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the
others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought
that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora
just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be
ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use
the RPMs...
Hi.
>From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from,
when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed?
This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c".
MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer
is installed:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp
I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in
this Situation.

I dunno, where were they before?
I just looked, couldn't find any on cafepress.com.
I'd like to bring back the Codeweavers drunken penguin
t-shirts, perhaps with a slightly more generic Wine
design.
Coincidentally, I found some site on the net had taken
the logo from that shirt and erased the Crossover
logo from the wine bottle; here's a cleaned-up copy:

Hi,
I know that CodeWeavers supports quite nicely Mac builds of Wine, and
CrossOver for Mac, yet all of them are X11.
There was also once Darwine - an effort to provide Carbon Wine UI
driver and Mac optimizations & L&F.
Pretty many of those were merged back to Wine, but not winequartz.drv.
Do you guys think about reviving winequartz.drv?
This would greatly improve Wine on Mac as we could have native Mac
fonts handling that's faster than FreeType, Dock icons for Wine
applications, and few others.
There's still old copy of the it hanging around, but it is abandoned,
and no longer compiles with Wine.
Or I think it would be cool to write new winecocoa.drv or sthing like
that, as Apple officially states that Carbon is deprecated.
While it is not well documented, it is pretty easy with Cocoa to make
console non-bundled process to be UI foreground process and handle
events and Dock:

BTW. I heard that someone previously working for Wine project is now
in Apple, it is true?

I *almost* have a great success story to report; the only thing
keeping it from being a success story is the current directory
chosen by Nautilus when double-clicking on .exe files.
My wife hurt a finger trying to impersonate a Sampsonite Luggage gorilla,
and had to go to a hand doctor. Along the way her hand got x-rayed,
and the doctor handed her a cd-rom with the x-ray pictures on it.
The disc has an autorun.inf on it that should start ViewSel.exe.
I don't know if that's supposed to work with Wine and Nautilus, but
probably doubleclicking on ViewSel.exe does the same thing.
ViewSel.exe puts up two big buttons:
low res (which launches a web browser on an html file),
and high res (which launches a DICOM viewer).
If you cd to the root of the cd-rom drive and run ViewSel, it works.
If the current directory is anything else, it doesn't work.
If you start the autorun app via Nautilus, those buttons don't work,
so presumably it sets the current directory to something other than
the root of the drive. To see, I created a wrapper shell script, ~/bin/mywine,
containing
#!/bin/sh
pwd > /tmp/log
and used "Start with" to launch ViewSel.exe with ~/bin/mywine.
This showed that the current directory was $HOME.
I had a look at the gnome code to see how it decided, but it was
a bit hard to follow. (See gnome_vfs_mime_application_launch_with_env.)
So I tried a little shell magic. I created a new wrapper shell script
that assumes the argument is a path to a file, and
sets the current directory to the directory containing that file:
#!/bin/sh
DIR=`dirname "$1"`
DIR=`cd "$DIR"; pwd`
cd "$DIR"
wine "$@"
That worked better; it let ViewSel.exe launch the DICOM viewer.
So... I suppose the next step is to look at the debian/ubuntu packages
for wine and see if that little wrapper script could be incorporated
into the default way file browsers start wine?
It sure would be nice if apps that expected the current directory
to behave like this (it's not uncommon!) Just Worked.

Adobe Contribute 4, released in Nov 2006 or so, had a nice online trial at
http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/Contribute/Adobe_Contribute_4_Win/Adob…
and still online, I think, at
http://www.soft32.com/download/63-129953-1/Adobe_Contribute_4_Win.exe
Starting it fails with
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP71.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Contribute 4\\CoreTypes.dll") not found
Wine has a nice implementation of msvcr71.dll, but not
the C++-oriented msvcp71.dll, nor is it likely to get one soon.
This brings back the question: what's a good place to
legally and freely download an application bundled with a full set
of msvcp71.dll et al? Ideally something at Microsoft.com
and/or something small and suitable for use in winetricks.
Any ideas?

Way back five years ago, we all compared notes on how
long it took to build Wine on our systems.
http://www.winehq.org/site/?issue=149#Compile%20Time%20Comparisons%20/%20Ti…
Today I measured it on a new computer (with a spiffy
new Intel dual core e7200 processor with 2GB of RAM,
http://kegel.com/new-computer-2008.html ).
Result: ... it takes me a bit longer today on this machine (11 minutes)
to build as it did then on a dual cpu hot rod (8 minutes).
I guess Moore's Law isn't quite keeping up with Wine's code growth :-)

The most recent iteration is at:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-May/054483.html
It should still apply cleanly, since the last patch touches
wineserver, you have to run tools/make_requests from the top of the
wine tree to update all wineserver related files.
I added wine-devel to CC since lots of people asked me about it.
The downside is that it still doesn't work 100%, for some reason there
is a huge delay every time the ipod is used.
How to use it:
Set windows version to vista
Install iTunes
Mount the ipod
'wine net start "ipod service"'
Wait 10 seconds or so
start itunes, it should take 3 minutes instead of instantly. (From the
delay above)
There is a race condition if the ipod service isn't started before
itunes is, resulting in the ipod not being found. Might be a wine bug,
but I'm not 100% sure.
Cheers,
Maarten.
