rejected patch? libw32sys.so linked to win32s/libw32skrnl.so

[Peter Petrakis]

Hello All,

Citing this email from way back in 2000.

http://www.mail-archive.com/wine-devel%40winehq.com/msg00914.html

Talks about a crash when capture.exe is run from the orcad suite. I'm
using orcad lite 9.2 (student edition), I can get everything to work
except capture. I've upgraded to the latest rpm availble for suse 9.1
(wine-20040716-0.1, x86) but the problem remains.

I tried some troubleshooting which included getting the actual w32sys dll
and issuing an override, which seems to be ignored. I also destroyed the
symlink that aliased aforementioned library to libw32skml. It still
crashes. For whatever reason it is not honoring the override. The relevant
config section is the following:

[DllOverrides]
; some dlls you may want to change
"oleaut32"     = "builtin, native"
"ole32"        = "builtin, native"
"comdlg32"     = "builtin, native"
"shell32"      = "builtin, native"
"shfolder"     = "builtin, native"
"shlwapi"      = "builtin, native"
"shdocvw"      = "builtin, native"
"advapi32"     = "builtin, native"
"w32sys"       = "native, builtin"
"w32skrnl"     = "native, builtin"
"msvcrt"       = "native, builtin"
"mciavi.drv"   = "native, builtin"
"mcianim.drv"  = "native, builtin"
"msi"          = "native, builtin"
"d3drm"        = "native, builtin"
"d3dxof"       = "native, builtin"
"dpnhpast"     = "native, builtin"
; you can specify applications too
; this one will apply for all notepad.exe
;"*notepad.exe" = "native, builtin"
; this one will apply only for a particular file
;"C:\\windows\\regedit.exe" = "native, builtin"
; default for all other dlls
"*" = "builtin, native"

[AppDefaults\\capture.exe\\DllOverrides]
"w32sys"       = "native"

I'm very curious that the patch mentioned or something like it never made
it into the source tree. I will integrate it myself the weekend (or as
soon as friday) and see for myself. If this patch can work, I could switch
ALOT of EE and CSE students over to Linux. Is there a work around that
does not require a rebuild? Thanks in advance.

Peter
