| INSTALLATION: | |
| Linux: | |
| Uncompress and untar this archive into the directory of your | |
| choice. This release requires a Linux version 0.99 pl13 kernel | |
| or above. | |
| NetBSD: | |
| If you use BSD make rather than GNU make, you must apply the patches | |
| in the file "bsdmake.patch". This release requires NetBSD-current. | |
| All: | |
| To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make". The | |
| executable "wine" will be built. "wine" will load and run Windows' | |
| executables. You must specify the entire path to the executable, | |
| have the executable in the current directory, or specify a load | |
| path with environment variable WINEPATH. | |
| For example, to run Windows' solitaire: | |
| export WINEPATH=/dos/windows;/dos/windows/system | |
| wine sol | |
| Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful. Emulation isn't perfect. | |
| So, occassionally it will crash. | |

| - 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, | |
| If you successfully add anything, please send me a copy. | |
