Introduction and winedbg bt problem

[Kai Brüning]

Good morning,

my name is Kai Brüning. Our company RagTime GmbH develops and markets the desktop publishing package RagTime, which had its origin in the Macintosh world 17 years ago. RagTime is currently available for Windows and Mac OS 9/X. Now we are evaluating whether we can make RagTime work under Wine. So far RagTime starts, but has several problems which make it non-usable.

To better understand these problems I try to get an insight using winedbg. In an earlier installation which has been broken in the meantime I could see backtraces through wine and RagTime code and could set break points in both worlds. After a fresh compile and install of the current wine source tarball under Redhat Linux 9 with no existing Windows installation, the RagTime part of the backtraces is broken. The backtraces show the same bogus function name for all frames.

My questions: If this problem and a cure for it known?
We had a lot of hazzle under Windows with backtraces created inside RagTime concerning the right version of imagehlp.dll. Could this be the problem here, too? That is, might it be helpful to use a native imagehlp.dll?

Best regards,
Kai
