similar to: How far to completion?

I am in the process of trying to port a Windows library to Linux (maybe also to Mac, but let's not get ahead of ourselves). The existing library is essentially a facade layer to a number of third-party dlls (mostly COM-based, although one is .NET-based) over which I have no control. These third-party dlls have no UI of their own. Their purpose is to allow access to proprietary data formats.

I've just started looking into using Ogg Vorbis for our streaming audio needs. We're doing games for MacOS, OS X and Win32. So far, after wading through the docs and sample code, I think I have a reasonably solid idea of how it all works. Now some questions: - currently my code is architected with a separate audio thread responsible for decoding chunks of compressed audio on demand

I was thinking about running Wine on Interix (the POSIX layer of Microsoft's Services for Unix). There are a few apparent unknows: Would Wine load the .dll.so's? Since Interix uses PE for it's native format (running on Windows, duh), Would Wine load the .dll.so's? Would it reject them being in PE format and having the 'POSIX Layer' attribute set, or could we hack on a

Hi all, i'm a new user of wine and i have some doubts. First i'm using wine with gentoo. I read in the wine web some info about the config file that wine uses, but in the gentoo ebuild no sample file is installed, or i haven't found it. Even more it seems that the winecfg application is used to configure wine, but it seems to not be finished and uses the registry files in ~/.wine to

when I try to compile WineX using ./tools/wineinstall or ./configure make depend make I end up with the following error: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/raellis/downloads/winex-20010928cvs/graphics' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `depend'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/raellis/downloads/winex-20010928cvs/graphics' make[2]: *** [../../graphics/__depend__] Error 2

I'm trying to link against libvorbis.a using GnuWin32 without the Cygwin layer (that is, Mingw32). Unfortunately the linker complains about a missing function: rint(). This function is used a couple of times in libvorbis and as far as I understand this is a standard C library function. My problem is, that I cannot find rint() in any of the common DLLs nor do I know how MSVC resolves this

Hi Folks! I'm completely new to wine, so please be gentle with me! I am trying to run Curious Labs' Poser4 under Tuesday's CVS snapshot on RedHat 6.2 without any native DLLs so far. All I get is one of those famous 'Critical section 0x... wait timed out' errors. Conventional knowledge says try some native DLLs - but which ones? Here is a list of DLLs and modules loaded:

I put this page together just so I won't spam the board anymore begging for help..lol http://bobhoffman.com/vmissue.html This shows a working effort of bonded eths, bridged into a vm, and a few other things. The only missing thing is something on the host that ends up putting the VM internet connection into some kind of limbo. Whether it is hardware related, bug related, libvirt nat

Is there a standard location for spec helpers (as in bits of code that help write specs)? I''m mocking/stubing-out portions of ActiveSalesforce, a remote-database abstraction layer so my specs won''t have to rely on a remote connection, but I''m not sure where I should be putting this helper lib. I was thinking of just sticking it in spec/ but I was curious if

Sorry about this noob question, but this is something that has been boring me. So Wine is a compatibly layer that tricks windows based apps into working on Linux. But isn't that what an emulator does? I know emulators more typically visualize the hardware which uses more recesses, but there are also high level emulators which just create the environment. isn't any software that tricks a

I'm curious about the feasability and possibility of using Wine as a basis for running as much MS code under Linux as possible. Let me explain: Windows XP (and most of it's ilk before it) don't support remote booting, that is using a diskless workstation and booting the OS from the network. Linux, of course readily provides that functionality. However, switching to linux is not

Just curious. In the two most recent releases of CentOS 7 AltArch i386 there has not been made available a DVD iso (or the live ones) alongside NetInstall/Minimal/Everything. Any plans to make available the DVD variation for the current or future releases? For older 32-bit hardware, it can be nice to be able to burn a single layer DVD. Thanks for your time, -Brendan

I just read paul murrell's new book, R graphics. now, I have always used the traditional graphics system. apparently, the new (trellis?) system is an entirely separate graphics system. after reading the book, I cannot figure out what the intrinsic capability advantage of the old graphics system is that cannot be replicated in the trellis system. if the new system's capabilities are

Hello everybody, i got a question. Could it be possible to use an existing real windows 7 installation (on a separate partition) as a wineprefix and run programs from it?

I cant really seem to find a definite answer: there's a bunch of stuff written on the subject, but nothing definite. "I've got it half way working" seems to be all I can find. So, has anyone gotten it working fully? I'd love to be able to run this without having to install windows... that would be a pain having to reformat etc etc etc... thx

hi there, the samba wiki currently recommends using rsync to achieve sysvol replication in an ad dc setup with more than one dc. this seems a bit kludgy to me ? using some sort of a distributed file system would probably be a more elegant solution. while researching this, i came across a few threads on this list, but unfortunately none of them provides a definite answer to which setup works to

Hi folks, I’m trying to port some code built on top of LLVM/Clang to Windows, however I just discovered that the precompiled versions from releases.llvm.org are missing all the libLLVM* and libclang* dlls. Also, some tools (e.g. opt) are missing on Windows as well. I’m curious whether it’s a technical limitation (i.e. certain things don’t work on Windows), or something else? For the others out

i have been playing with 3.3beta2 for a few weeks now and i can easily create inconsistencies between replicas. my first test was to start an rsync from a client using the gluster fuse code and then reboot one of the servers. after the rsync finishes, i can see that the replicas are out of sync (which is to be expected), so i start a self-heal via find. after that has run to completion, i

Hi Armin, > The MCJIT API can only be used once to JIT compile external souces to excuteable code into the address space of a running process. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "can only be used once" in this context. Regardless, the new APIs are definitely designed to make it easier to lead, unload and replace modules, and I hope they will support a wider range of use cases
