It's slowly coming around (Francois recent patches are key), but we still have some fairly serious issues. You've hit the first issue - being sure to use the GNU tool chain. Doing a cvs update and trying again (after, of course, Alexandre commits Francois' recent patches) may bring you more

First I thought this was a problem caused by the SUN as, but then I installed the GNU as, and typed make clean; rm config.cache; configure make depend make but the problem remained. I suspect that the problem is that gcc is still invoking 'as' instead of 'gas'. My understanding is the

I added a comment in wsprintf16 to make Andreas happy. But I agree that the change log (and cvs diff) is the best way to store this kind of information. Okay, so it's a slow news day, and I feel like stirring up trouble. I would argue that it is, in fact, counterintuitive, to have this

To strip or not to strip

2001-07-13 Thread Jeremy White
We've always built the CodeWeavers Wine RPM unstripped, in the theory that it made supporting Wine newbies easier. However, AFAICT from watching cemw, we never get into a situation where a newbie goes into winedbg; more often, they shift first to the CVS tip, and from there maybe to winedbg.

Apps DB Round 3

Okay, with all of 3 days worth of data, we've already figured out some problems with the current Apps DB. The structure of the DB is that you have an app, like MS Word. Now, when you're on MS Word, you can see an app description, and people can post comments. Each App can (should?) have sub

You can safely assume 600-700 pixels width. No more. I Sure don't run my browser in 1600x1200 just because my desktop happens to run in that resolution. Hmmm. You're imposing maximum resolutions without necessarily considering the effects, and the overall design. I believe that the

Just spent 30 minutes trying to reproduce with Outlook, and now, of course, I can't. I may well have pressed ^C at some point; I'm learning that Outlook does, eventually (2-3 minutes) come up (but promptly crashes). However, whilst trying something else, I had another winelib program crash.

I quite often get in the mood where I just want to implement something random (todays choice is LHashValOfNameSysA from oleaut32.dll). What I'd really like to see is a 'hot' list of API calls that need to be implemented. Trudging through one DLL at a time gets boring, if I'm going to

Hmm. IMHO, we should do a configure test for db2html, and report it as missing when the user goes to make the doco, along with some useful advice on where to get it from. And, of course, this applies to all the other tools required to build 'em. Jer "John R. Sheets" wrote: On Jan 18, 2001,
