If they all do, permanently remove that reference, but remember it was there Last step: Add everything back for systems that are on a different os (xbsd, x86solaris, reactos) use older/newer glibcs whatever I've forgotten While the idea is good, I think a few people won't be happy with the result - and correctly so.

Additional warnings (-W) revisited
Hello,
a year or more ago I started an attempt to turn on additional warnings
with gccs -W switch. The amount of additional warnings created made any
warnings useless (the current count is 2700). I've just thought about
the problem again and come up with a divide and conquer approach:
Why not turn -W on and disable the additional warnings on a per directory
basis? The idea is to turn on the additional warnings and then disable
them on a per directory/type basis by putting a file into each directory
turning off one or both of the additional warnings that occur very often
(signed/unsigned comparisons and unused parameters/variables). If both
warnings should be shown in a directory, the file may be removed.
I've attached an example patch and the initial look of the .nowarn file.
What do you think of the idea in general and this particular solution?
Ciao
Jörg

Moin, Marcus last patch to add default paths for afm files triggered a bug: Inside my font dirs, there is a directory that contains gzipped afm files. After I unzipped these files, wine started up again. Not nice. Ciao Jrg PS: This is the directory *after* decompression of the .afm.gz files: jmayer@alice:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 ls UTBI.afm c0419bt_.afm c0632bt_.afm cour.afmcursor.pfa lcdxro.afm UTBI.pfa c0419bt_.pfb c0632bt_.pfb cour.pfaencodings.dir lcdxro.pfa UTB_.afm c0582bt_.afm c0633bt_.afm courb.afm fonts.dir lcdxrr.afm UTB_.pfa c0582bt_.pfb c0633bt_.pfb courb.pfa fonts.scalelcdxrr.pfa UTI_.afm c0583bt_.afm c0648bt_.afm courbi.afm lcdxmo.afm lcdxso.afm UTI_.pfa c0583bt_.pfb c0648bt_.pfb courbi.pfa lcdxmo.pfa lcdxso.pfa UTRG.afm c0611bt_.afm c0649bt_.afm couri.afm lcdxmr.afm lcdxsr.afm UTRG.pfa c0611bt_.pfb c0649bt_.pfb couri.pfa lcdxmr.pfa lcdxsr.pfa jmayer@alice:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 -- Joerg Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul).

Re: PATCH: afm loader
Moin Marcus, you codeed some thing like this in a few places: + char afmfn[256]; + strcpy(afmfn,afmdir); directories and filenames may be longer than 256 charaters. If you use such a value you should at least use strncpy or use FILENAME_MAX from stdio.h (if that's the right one).

In this case I don't think it is justified though; the doc is not built by default, so there is no point in making it conditional. People who don't have the docbook tools simply shouldn't run 'make' in the doc directory. Maybe I understand you incorrectly, but a plain text or html version of the documentation should be provided with the normal tarball, just like we provide not only configure.in but also configure because there would be so many more questions/help requests from people who have problems with autoconf. How can we point people to the documen- tation if it is hard to read? Pointing them to an external source isn't really helpful: a readable documentation should go with the package.

Xine - another app using wine code
Another application using some wine code: http://xine.sourceforge.net/ 08.01.2001: release of xine 0.3.4, bringing you win32 video codec support (via mechanisms provided by wine and projects like MPlayer ), improved debian packages, gui bugfixes, build improvements on k6/k7 cpus, a teletux video output driver and minor speedups via new compiler flags and 3Dnow! support. -- Joerg Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul).

Avifile library
Hello, I just stumbled on the avifile library on freshmeat (http://divx.euro.ru/). It's a library that loads the native Windows decoders (with some code from Wine and Twin). IIRC AVI support in Wine is still in the "use the native libs" state. Maybe we can use some of the code of avifile? (haven't really looked at it though). ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.

16-bit App Crash (maybe in SWITCHSTACKTO)
Hello,
I tried to run a 16 bit app and it crashed. The famous last words are
in SWITCHSTACKTO. I did a --debugmsg +all but I've included only a few
lines, as the location seems obvious. Ideas anyone?
Thanks
