Is it only that patch that needs to be reverted to make things work got wine? For me It seems as if the patch is not that huge, and manually do a copy-paste with the help of a diff tool can be done. It seems as if even both implemenations can live side-by-side in the code. And if there is a run-time detection for wine, we could switch between the old one and the new one which is dependent on how MSVCRT.dll has layed out internal data structures: "ioinfo structure (exposed by MSVCRT.dll via __pioinfo" Sorry being not more helpful ``` ## Michael Stefaniuc, 2014-07-29 12:20 Subject: Re: "error: Tweaking file descriptors doesn't work with this MSVCRT.dll" on wine Message-ID: <53D7917B.8060100@redhat.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/53D7917B.8060100%40redhat.com In-Reply-To: <53D73F7D.1010902@web.de> ``` On 07/29/2014 08:30 AM, Torsten Bögershausen wrote: > On 07/28/2014 12:39 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: >> I know wine is kind of second citizen but is there a cheap trick to >> make it work on wine?

Why is fixing Wine not an option? The guy working on MSVCRT in Wine is very responsive; all that is needed is just a bug in https://bugs.winehq.org/ and he'll look at it. Or give me more details and I'll create the bug entry. > Is it only that patch that needs to be reverted to make things work got > wine? > For me It seems as if the patch is not that huge, and manually do a > copy-paste > with the help of a diff tool can be done. > > It seems as if even both implemenations can live side-by-side in the code. > And if there is a run-time detection for wine, we could switch between the We frown upon detecting Wine just to workaround bugs there. If one insists on workarounding Wine then please detect the broken behavior instead. That way the app will automatically use the default code path once Wine is fixed. > old one and the new one which is dependent on how MSVCRT.dll has layed out > internal data structures: > "ioinfo structure (exposed by MSVCRT.dll via __pioinfo" bye michael ``` ## Duy Nguyen, 2014-07-29 13:05 Subject: Re: "error: Tweaking file descriptors doesn't work with this MSVCRT.dll" on wine Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CACsJy8Att%2BO7fF-2mMjqkfm75yXihfJNWutGDAqUkZs34pKLGw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <53D7917B.8060100@redhat.com> ``` On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 7:20 PM, Michael Stefaniuc wrote: > On 07/29/2014 08:30 AM, Torsten Bögershausen wrote: >> On 07/28/2014 12:39 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: >>> I know wine is kind of second citizen but is there a cheap trick to >>> make it work on wine?

Not an option as in "_I_ will be working on it". I don't suppose lots of people use git on wine to be worth the trouble, but then again making wine msvcrt more compatible is probably a good thing so I'll open a bug for wine. -- Duy ``` ## Michael Stefaniuc, 2014-07-29 13:28 Subject: Re: "error: Tweaking file descriptors doesn't work with this MSVCRT.dll" on wine Message-ID: <53D7A17D.5010206@redhat.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/53D7A17D.5010206%40redhat.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 07/29/2014 03:05 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: > On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 7:20 PM, Michael Stefaniuc wrote: >> On 07/29/2014 08:30 AM, Torsten Bögershausen wrote: >>> On 07/28/2014 12:39 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: >>>> I know wine is kind of second citizen but is there a cheap trick to >>>> make it work on wine?

This is actually a very important use case for Wine: Making it easy for OSS developers to test the Windows builds of their software without having to use Windows. bye michael ``` ## Karsten Blees, 2014-07-29 19:55 Subject: Re: "error: Tweaking file descriptors doesn't work with this MSVCRT.dll" on wine Message-ID: <53D7FC3B.9070001@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/53D7FC3B.9070001%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Am 28.07.2014 12:39, schrieb Duy Nguyen: > I know wine is kind of second citizen but is there a cheap trick to > make it work on wine?

Downloading msvcrt.dll 7.0.2600 from dll-files.com and extracting it to ~/.wine/drive_c/Windows/System32 fixed the error message for me. (The newest versions don't work as they depend on a bunch of other dlls that you'd need too.) ```
