Summary: NULL-input backend for wineconsole
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.23
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: programs
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: bonzini at gnu.org
I have several programs that in general need wineconsole. When used in a
Makefile they will receive no input, but they still need wineconsole to avoid
locking up. The reason is that they use an emulation of poll(2) for Windows
that requires GetNumberOfConsoleEvents and PeekConsoleInput.
Using curses mode allows the compilation to complete without requiring X11;
still, it causes an annoying flicker and it hides failure messages from the
screen.
It would be nice to have an alternative wineconsole mode that always allocates
the console for input while not reporting any input key, and that would connect
stdout and stderr to the "bare streams". I can try implementing this; do you
think it would be hard?
