how to compiling wine component and submit a patch?

Post by xrfang »

Hi there,

I am a Chinese Wine user. Recently I am studying a notorious wine problem among Chinese community. The problem is that some Chinese application cannot display text correctly.

There is a "dirty" patch submitted in the Ubuntu community, as it is dirty, people don't think the Wine team will accept it.

I am trying to study this problem. My question is, if a new solution is workable and we think is worth to submit to the Wine team, how do I submit the patch?

Thanks,
xrfang

I am trying to study this problem. My questions are:

1) How do I compile a portion of wine, e.g. gdi32.dll.so, without compiling the entire source tree?
You'd be better off compiling the whole source tree, in case the part
you're compiling depends on other parts of the tree. Once you've
compiled it once, you can recompile a specific part (e.g., just
gdi32), by cd'ing to its directory and running make there.
2) If a new solution is workable and we think is worth to submit to the Wine team, how do I submit the patch?
Submit it to [email protected].

What I'd personally like to see is an app, registry entry or property for specific apps in winecfg to set the language or encoding for that app (or even "the system"), similar to what Microsoft's AppLocale does under Windows itself. This would guarantee applications intended for different languages to use the right character encoding.

You can do that when launching from terminal, use LANG environmental
variable. You can do this in .desktop as well.

Ah, thanks, though it will take some time to find the correct encodings for some old apps from here.
