If you discount that last I checked, VMware still couldn't do IPv6 in their 
virtual networks, and every single kernel upgrade your distro does is a pain.

There's always something, I guess.

I believe this patch is causing a problem for me on OS X Leopard gcc
version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465). When I try to compile riched20
with a clean tree at HEAD I am getting this

ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in
_itextHostStdcallVtbl from txthost.o not allowed in slidable image
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
winegcc: gcc failed
make: *** [riched20.dll.so] Error 2

Is the __ASM_GLOBAL_FUNC stdcall wrapper in txthost.c just borked?

Thanks

Not so easy if you don't have an ATI card, or if you don't know what

You can get this behaviour, but not using snapshots (which as you
noticed are cumulative, and rolling back one snapshot deletes its
changes). What you do is install your "out-of-the-box" version in a
new drive image, then mark that as "immutable". AFAIK, you still have
to do that from the command-line, and it's not really intuitive.
Something like:
1) De-register your "out-of-the-box" drive image from all VMs you have
configured
2) $ vboxmanage closemedium disk 
3) $ vboxmanage openmedium disk  --type immutable
4) Re-associate your VMs to the "out-of-thebox" image. It will inform
you now that it is immutable.

You can then create as many VMs as you need with the "immutable" image
as the base, and it will automagically create differencing images for
you, which you can install the service packs in.

The disadvantage of this is you have multiple VM configurations, all
of which have independent settings, but this is what I do for my WinXP
browser testing (so I have multiple different versions of
IE/Opera/other browsers that don't like other versions existing on the
same installation :) ).

Why are you testing this in ExtractFilesA?  Almost all of the logic
should be passed on to ExtractFilesW so we don't duplicate code.

+if (FileList != NULL)

Please don't change the style of the file.  if (FileList) is fine.

+WideCharToMultiByte( CP_ACP, 0, FileList, -1, szFileList,
sizeof(szFileList), NULL, NULL );
+szConvertedList = convert_file_list(szFileList, &dwFileCount);

I'm not sure this is the way to go.  You're converting A -> W -> A.
This happens because cabinet.Extract is (as far as we know) ansi-only.
 In this case, I think it's ok to make ExtractFilesW call into
ExtractFilesA, with an appropriate comment as to why this is
happening.

I'm using VMware only for running winetest on Windows, so there is some

VirtualBox does okay for Windows and Linux, barely for FreeBSD with

doesn't work and the VirtualBox developers admit it but consider the

VMWare is reputedly better - it's the oldest common VM software and
its emulation is very seasoned, well-tested and robust.


I've been a happy user of VMware Workstation from the very start but it 
always annoyed me that they don't support Fedora.




QEMU *without* KVM works well, if slowly - it's almost a complete "red

entirely properly.

(OpenBSD is a bit of a torture test for virtual machines. It's very
wary and cautious about what it runs on, and will happily segfault at
a perceived hardware problem rather than risk letting a program access
memory it shouldn't. Theo de Raadt says about a third of all problem
traces come from VMs.)

For testing Wine in other OSes, bugs found in a VM should always,
always be confirmed on a physical machine, with the OS running on the
bare metal - there are too many "glitches in the Matrix" in almost any
VM software to be sure a bug is real.


That's basically true for most applications. Most vendors have these 
caveats in there support contracts.


Maybe I just revert to F10 for now and wait till VMware can properly 
install/run on F11 (It's mostly issues with compilation and dealing with 
newer kernel versions, 2.6.29/30). F11 doesn't do OSS (by default) 
anymore which means no out-of-the-box sound in VMware Workstation 6.5.2


The problem with both VirtualBox and QEMU/KVM seems to be supporting 
older Windows versions as guests (< NT4).

Reading each individual post via e-mail is not a problem. Going to bugzilla
and trying to read through the entire bug is.

Yes the stop sign does help with new posts, but does absolutely nothing for
people who post 100+ lines of their terminal output into old bugs and make
them totally impossible to follow.

Again this patch does not completely stop all logs from being posted, only
standard output of fixmes, errs, warns, etc (without thread IDs). This is on
purpose as Anastasius almost always adds +tid to the mix. And even allows
some number of standard log lines, quite enough for quotation.

The fact that we get 1 in 30 doesn't mean we'll always see that much. It's
much more common among first time reporters then anyone else. And number of
new users will always go up.

WinNT and NetBSD; those hang/crash during the install. Win2k3, FreeBSD 
and OpenSolaris work just fine and I didn't try anything else yet. But 
I'm on F9 and once I have a little spare time I'll move to F11. I'll 
test it there (never qemu) if that fixes WinNT.

That's ugly. You should use mkstemps() or something like that.

Using isdigit() on a Unicode char is not a good idea (and in this case
isdigitW() wouldn't be a good idea either).

I'm using VirtualBox. Apart from some problems around d3d/opengl and
interruptions, it works quiet well. It also manages snapshots and have
a CLI.
See w2k-sp4-fr results on winetest. It has passed the test suite once
(I didn't run latest builds but I will).

Unfortunately, I don't know VMWare Workstation at all, so I can't tell
you what are the differences.

At a quick glance we don't seem to need it there. We only use a small
number of GL calls which are all 1.1 and for extensions we use in
there we already define our own function pointers anyway as the
functions need to be loaded dynamically. I think we can get rid of it.

Which virtualization software should I choose

2009-06-11 Thread Paul Vriens

Hi,

Just upgraded to Fedora 11 and (yet again) having issues with VMware 
Workstation.


VMware still doesn't support Fedora (as a host) and I'm tired of 
fixing/patching things, again and again.


I need to run several Windows versions (95 up to Vista for now) for our 
winetest and I really like the snapshot possibilities of VMware.


Suggestions, recommendations?

Paul.

The same code is used in winex11.drv/opengl.c
Can this also be removed?

When that's the case, then "GL/glext.h" can be removed from
AC_CHECK_HEADERS in configure.ac
