Hi There is yet another issue preventing SeriousSam from working. It fails to load opengl32.dll because before loading the dll it makes sure it can find it via SearchPath().The problem is that SearchPath doesn't know about the builtin dlls provided by wine, so it fails to find them and SeriousSam won't start.
I can think of several ways to work around that, but i don't really like any of them. Maybe somebody else can throw in some comments or even has a better idea: possible solutions: 1) let SearchPath search for builtin dlls, and if found make it pretend the file exists in the c:\windows\system32\. This will cause all sorts of trouble if the application want to do anything else with the file beside trying to load it.(think of somebody browsing around with a Filemanager trying to copy/move/rename those files) 2) place dummy files for all builtin dlls in c:\windows\system32 (or symlinks pointing to corresponding *.dll.so files) hmm I guess you would get into trouble if you use WINEDLLOVERRIDE. Wouldn't LoadLibrary try to load those dummy files? 3) just put it under the category "application-specific hack", and put instructions somewhere(appdb,..) what to do to get it working. ie:"touch ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/opengl32.dll", would do it in this case. 4) combination from 1) and 3), solve it like in 1) but make it a per-application configuration setting similar to dll overrides. Comments? Better ideas? Peter
