Added "The Easy Way" and "The Hard Way", largely favoring the easy way,
which uses my bug_report.pl script. Added info on a command that can be run on all shells to print debug msgs to a file and not to xterm.

How To Report A Bug
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways for you to make a bug report. One uses a simple perl
|
||||
script, and is recommended if you don't want to spend a lot of time
|
||||
producing the report. It is designed for use by just about anyone, from
|
||||
the newest of newbies to advanced developers. You can also make a bug
|
||||
report the hard way -- advanced developers will probably prefer this.
|
||||
|
||||
A. The Easy Way
|
||||
1) Your computer *must* have perl on it for this method to work. To
|
||||
find out if you have perl, run:
|
||||
which perl
|
||||
If it returns something like "/usr/bin/perl", you're in business.
|
||||
Otherwise, skip on down to "The Hard Way".
|
||||
If you aren't sure, just keep on going. When you try to run the script, it
|
||||
will become *very* apparent if you don't have perl.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Change directory to <dirs to wine>/tools
|
||||
|
||||
3) Type in "./bug_report.pl" and follow the directions.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Post a message to the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine newsgroup with the
|
||||
"Nice Formatted Report" attatched. If possible, upload the full debug
|
||||
output to a web/ftp server and provide the address in your message.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
B. The Hard Way:
|
||||
|
||||
Some simple advice on making your bug report more useful (and thus more
|
||||
likely to get answered and fixed):

To accomplish this, use the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
all shells:
|
||||
echo quit|wine -debugmsg +relay,+snoop [other_options] program_name >& filename.out; tail -n 100 filename.out > report_file
|
||||
(This will print wine's debug msgs only to the file and then
|
||||
auto-quit. It's probably a good idea to use this command, since wine
|
||||
prints out so many debug msgs that they flood the terminal, eating CPU.)
|
||||
|
||||
tcsh and other csh-like shells:
|
||||
|
||||
wine -debugmsg +relay,+snoop [other_options] program_name |& tee filename.out
