Re: [wxlua-users] Difference between Lua and wxLua executable

2013-08-26 Thread Milind Gupta

Thanks for looking into this. So to get the same effects for running a
wxLua program with Lua.exe we need a Lua.exe compiled with the manifest
that wxlua was compiled from?

Thanks,
Milind

 But at least now we know the answer: the difference is indeed manifest
 related and you need to have the DLL that is referenced in the
 manifest to get it to work.

I think my problem is like this persons, but I have MSVC 2008 with SP1
already installed and turning off incremental linking doesn't help.
http://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/mscvp90ddll-reported-missing-23640.aspx

I doesn't seem like a common problem, it might be some strangeness with
MSVC 2008 since turning off incremental linking to fix a missing
msvcr90d.dll file seems like a strange fix.

Regards,
John

Is there anything that you did differently?

I went the easy way: I extracted the manifest from wxlua and added it
to lua.exe:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe
-inputresource:wxlua.exe -out:extracted.manifest
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\mt.exe -manifest
extracted.manifest -outputresource:lua.exe

After that wxlua and lua produce the same (calendar) results. You can
also tweak the manifest before embedding it to see the effect.

I don't know what you mean. What DLL is included with Windows that you ship?

Not sure; when I tried the same manifest with my wx.dll compiled with
mingw, I get side-by-side error:

Activation context generation failed for ...zbstudio.exe. Dependent
Assembly
Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls,publicKeyToken=6595b64144ccf1df,type=win32,version=6.0.0.0
could not be found.

When I copy all the dlls from 2.8.12 and run with the same executable,
everything is fine. I'm not sure what dll I'm missing, but I thought
it was one of wxmsw28_*vc_custom.dll.

Paul.

okay, I managed to get my application running with the right manifest
(and I'm even using mingw instead of VS). What I mentioned earlier was
correct, but I was missing a proper way to reference the manifest.

It turned out that the way I included manifest was not correct as my
.rc file had 1 RT_MANIFEST zbstudio.manifest and it should have been
1 24 zbstudio.manifest. After I added the correct reference (and
included dependentAssembly reference) the manifest was recognized
and I could run my application using wxlua 2.8.12 DLLs and could see
the expected results.

I just added a resource and manifest file for wxLua's lua.exe, but it didn't
change how the calendar control looked.

http://sourceforge.net/p/wxlua/svn/190/
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/include/wx/msw/wx.manifest

Is there anything that you did differently?

Unfortunately, this doesn't really help me as I was hoping to
reference a DLL that is included with Windows, rather than ship mine,
but maybe this will help others...

I don't know what you mean. What DLL is included with Windows that you ship?

Re: [wxlua-users] Difference between Lua and wxLua executable

2013-08-18 Thread Milind Gupta

Thanks John for putting time on this. When I posted this question on
wxWidgets (http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=23t=37587) they
also said about the manifest file. I didn't explore it further from there.
But would not the manifest file not compiled with the wx.dll itself
why would Lua need to be compiled with it?

Thanks,
Milind

So when you do this do you get the same differences or is it just
something on my system? Since these are run from the same Lua package but
show different renderings I am really curious why this happens.

Hummm, I do see the same differences you do and I get the same results
even when I compile it fresh using MSVC 2008 (the sourceforge packages were
built with MSVC 6).

I ran depends[1] on them and found that they all use the exact same DLLs
except for these differences :

They both use these two DLLS (note I built using 64-bit arch)

c:\windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.9200.16579_none_418ab7ef718b27ef\COMCTL32.DLL

c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.9200.16579_none_8937eec6860750f5\COMCTL32.DLL

wx.dll also uses this which is older and that may explain the older
looking calendar control.

c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.9200.16384_none_bf100cd445f4d954\COMCTL32.DLL

I believe it has something to do with the manifest file, lua.exe is not
compiled with one, but all the wxLua apps use the wxWidget manifest file.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773175%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

I suppose I could try building lua.exe using a similar manifest file and
see if that changes anything.

John

Re: [wxlua-users] Difference between Lua and wxLua executable

2013-08-18 Thread Paul K

I'm very interested in what manifest needs to be used as well. My
executable *does* include a manifest, but it doesn't statically
compile wx.dll and loads it at run-time. My calendar looks like a
generic one (the one that Milind has on the left side), so I either
need to have a different content in the manifest or needs to include
in the DLL file itself.

It seems like the required addition to the manifest is quite simple
(as per
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773175(v=vs.85).aspx):

dependency
dependentAssembly
assemblyIdentity
type=win32
name=Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls
version=6.0.0.0
/
/dependentAssembly
/dependency

I added it to my executable, but the controls are still shown as generic ones.

I also removed this part of the manifest from wxlua and it indeed
turned the native controls into generic ones. It seems like this
is what is missing from the lua.exe file, but I'm not sure (yet) why
it's not working in my case...

Paul.
