[ros-diffs] [jimtabor] 22523: GetGlyphOutline, large wine port. Still testing.
by James Tabor 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Hi, I have it half way done. Run the test program and you can see. Program works in W2k, XP and Wine. mingw32-gcc -mwindows -Os GetGlyphOutline.c -o ggo.exe I stopped messing with it two weeks ago, I needed to work on something else. When testing you can select the alphanumeric character with the keyboard. The original program had "a" but I changed it to "L" something simple to draw at first. You will see the problem. The test program from Dr. Dobb's Journal http://www.ddj.com/184409154?pgno=12 Thanks, James Runs and hides~

It did break the partition table I had the 2 times I have tried on real hardware. The two times, I had Ubuntu installed in logical partitions. Each times, it see my 10Gb as 4Gb, and give a warning it does not understand correctly my partition table. First time, it did seems to see some unused space (there was probably none in reality) and I let it installed there, stopping just before installing the boot loader (I wanted to use grub to start it). But when I tried to reboot, computer was unable to boot, not even go to the BIOS. Reinitializing CMOS or reflashing BIOS did not help. Finally discover that unplugging the HD fixed the BIOS. Probably a BIOS bug, expecting a correct MBR and partition table. Next time (about 1 week ago), I had made a primary partition for it, and still have Linux on logical one. But it seems to have break the partition table once again (not sure how I convinced myself of that however, I think because I was not able to search for /boot/grub/menu.lst from grub on hd0). I was given on a link in IRC about an unfinished patch on hyperheterodyne, or superheterodyne... that was about the partition manager. Was 1 or 2 years old however. I read it a bit, patch and code for usetup?, but not good enough yet to really understand. So I consider the installer very dangerous right now. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class

card.dll images partly copied from windows
by Timo Kreuzer 01 Aug '07

01 Aug '07

There was a patch on bugzilla replacing some of the greyscale images from wine's card.dll with colored ones. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2476 Ged noticed that they looked exactly like windows images. The wine images seem to be windows images converted to greyscale. Maybe we should replace these images. I have found an opensource project with nice images: MacSolitaire http://sourceforge.net/projects/macsolitairex

??: Winetests

Noone (with exception to a few reactos devs) really bothered to actually heavily use those tests to check the developed code for errors. If they were used from the beginning, there would be lots more supported apps by now. Speaking on topic, updating is important, but 2 years ago means that that test isn't really updated in wine. Wbr, Aleksey. -----???????? ?????????----- ??: "Daniel Reimer" <reimer.daniel(a)freenet.de> ????: "ReactOS Development List" <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> ??????????: 30.07.07 22:14 ????: [ros-dev] Winetests Hi, I dont talk very often here, but this is, in my eyes, quite urgent. Some days ago Magnus said he was able to fix some bugs thanks to the old winetests we have in SVN. When I looked at the tests I saw that some had their last update in r16000, TWO Years ago. I know its some work to port the tests, but dont you agree that newer tests could help to find even more bugs in ROS and that a update should be performed? If I could, I would do so, but I'm not skilled enough yet...

While i'm away, it would be cool to listen to what other devs think about it. Like James, Thomas, etc. I don't have a pc here, but I feel cautious about any significant changes into .s generation. But, if it is possible to generate .s once, it would be good.

>Ged noticed that they looked exactly like windows images. The original grayscale comes from http://nifty.stanford.edu/2004/EstellCardGame/ if I remember right. Also used by projects like http://arainyday.se/projects/python/DeckOfCards/ >Maybe we should replace these images. I have found an opensource project >with nice images: MacSolitaire Nice idea. The cards there looks much better then the completly black and completely red cards.

this means we should delete its contents or make it unavailable, for legal/ip reasons.

Moving lists to appropriate places sounds good to me too. As for the lib, why would it be better than the current solution? -----???????? ?????????----- ??: "Timo Kreuzer" <timo.kreuzer(a)web.de> ????: "ReactOS Development List" <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> ??????????: 31.07.07 11:32 ????: Re: [ros-dev] Winetests The lib thing is exactly what I had in mind. I just also suggest moving the lists (win32ksvc.db and sysfuncs.lst) from the folder where the nci tool is to the folder where the function implementations are (win32k and ntoskrnl)

Agreed, having it generated one time reduces wrong version and renders the whole process more reliable. ----- Message d'origine ---- De : Magnus Olsen <magnus(a)greatlord.com> À : ReactOS Development List <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> Envoyé le : Mardi, 31 Juillet 2007, 12h26mn 31s Objet : Re: [ros-dev] ??: Re: ??: Re: Winetests At moment we are genreate the win32k.S 2-3 times I do not whant it be genreate more that one time. that reason I whant a lib instead for allot genreated win32k.S, I will need a lib later for win32k testkit for dx. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aleksey Bragin" <aleksey(a)reactos.org> To: "ReactOS Development List" <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 12:23 PM Subject: [ros-dev] ??: Re: ??: Re: Winetests > I do not like the idea of fully switching to such a lib. > But for regression testing - let Timo do it then. > > Aleksey. > --- > > If some does not like the idea create a lib call > win32ksyscall.a let me hear it now, I will implement > it today night or tomoring other wise, it will be allot > easy for our testapps apps and gdi32/user32 using > a lib instead a genreated win32k.S for each apps. > > > _______________________________________________ > Ros-dev mailing list > Ros-dev(a)reactos.org > http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev(a)reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

I do not like the idea of fully switching to such a lib. But for regression testing - let Timo do it then. Aleksey. --- If some does not like the idea create a lib call win32ksyscall.a let me hear it now, I will implement it today night or tomoring other wise, it will be allot easy for our testapps apps and gdi32/user32 using a lib instead a genreated win32k.S for each apps.
