INSTALLATION:
Uncompress and untar this archive into the directory of your
choice. This release requires a Linux version 0.99 pl12 kernel with
ALPHA-diffs and sognal-diffs. Apply ALPHA-diffs first, and then
signal-diffs.
To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make". The
executable "wine" will be built.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.3.0: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Mouse capture
- Text justification and underlining
- Clipping
- LoadBitmap() completed
- Code generated by the Borland compiler should now work
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.8: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Text functions from Alexandre
- INT 21h from Eric
- Menu improvements from David
- Bug fixes and GetProcAddress() stub from me
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.7: (see ChangeLog for details)
- sol.exe gets further. I did some debugging and now solitaire
stops when it tries to call GetTextExtent(). Any volunteers?
- Many DC updates from Alexandre.
- Menu updates to support underlining characters from David Metcalfe.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.6: (see ChangeLog for details)
- More region updates from Alexandre
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.5: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Regions implemented by Alexandre
- More menuing code from me
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.4: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Many improvements to GDI from Alexandre
- Many improvements to menu handling by me.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.3: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Bug fixes with SendMessage() and PostMessage()
- Preliminary menu support
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.2: (see ChangeLog for details)
- Misc bug fixes
- More bitmap code
- Timers
- Memory DC's
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.1:
- I have placed things into sub-directories. The organization is
not finalized. I imagine that the directory structure will
change as is necessary. Files in the ./misc directory need
to be split apart and placed in apropriate directories.
- Tons of code from Alexandre. He has constructed the framework
for handling GDI objects. He has also provided code for DCEs.
- Local heap functions have been completed.
- Bug fixes in global.c and win.c
- New function GlobalQuickAlloc() combines GlobalAlloc() and
GlobalLock() into a single function call.
- New patch kit for Linux 0.99 pl11 kernel. Thanks to Linus
who has graciously included our patches into the ALPHA patch
release cycle.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.0:
- Alexandre Julliard has provided a replacement for the Tcl code.
The new code uses Xlib and Xt directly with no intervening
interpretted language. This should reduce the learning
curve for casual hackers.
- I changed all GLOBAL_ names to Global.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.1:
- I have completed global memory allocation, but I don't like it.
It is not 100% compatible with Windows. I need some more kernel
modifications for 100% compatibility.
- Alexandre Julliard has provided written better emulation for
the Windows message queue.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.0:
- Latest patches from Alexandre Julliard.
- minor bug fix in if1632.S
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.5:
- Patches from Alexandre Julliard. Some integration with Tcl.
- Generic interface for callback procedures. This will allow
callbacks into DLLs.
- MakeProcInstance() has been implemented but untested.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.4:
- Eric Youngdale modified wine.c and selector.c to allow loading
of Windows DLLs.
- Added global memory allocation routines (GlobalAlloc, GlobalFree,
and GlobalLock)
- Bitmap resource loading into global memory.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.3:
- Fixed bug with sector sizes.
- Registers at program startup are now set correctly.
- Segment fixups for relocatable-segment internal entry points.
- Fixed bug in DOS PSP structure.
- Some resource loading is done.
- Added "return" ordinal type to build program.
- Added comment capability to build program.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.2:
- Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments.
- The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs
to completion.
- Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of
the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed.
- Imported name relocations are now supported.
- Source code for my infamous test program is now included.
- A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated. See
"kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program.
WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1:
- Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory
efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation.
- The build program has been completed. It now lets you specify
how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation
library routines. A brief description of how to build these
specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt".
- The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested.
TODO:
- Segment fixup code completion.
- Trap and handle DOS and DPMI calls.
- GlobalAlloc of code segments.
- Rewrite global memory support including kernel mods to allow
application to mess with page map.
- Handle self-loading applications.
- Resource loading
- Lots and lots of API fiunctions.
BUILD:
The documentation for the build program is in the file build-spec.txt
FINALE:
Good luck,
