[Firebird-devel] Problem with Windows fbclient.dll on Wine 0.9.13

[Doychin Bondzhev]

I'm using Database Workbench on Wine and in order to connect to local firebird server on linux I have to install client libraries for windows in Wine.

Until Wine 0.9.13 everything was fine but after instaling this version I can't connect to firebird becouse I get Access Vioalation in GDS32.dll.

I think there is something wrong with this version of Wine.

Does any of you have an idea how I can find the reason for this AV? I tryed with both 1.5 and 2.0RC2 Firebird clients and they both crash the same way.

thanks in advance

Why not use FlameRobin which is native on Linux?

I doubt anyone on this list would be able to help. (Maybe Martijn is lurking
and knows all about it?) You stand much better chance asking Wine developers.

I'm using Database Workbench on Wine and in order to connect to local
firebird server on linux I have to install client libraries for
windows in Wine.

Why not use FlameRobin which is native on Linux?

FlameRobin sucks. It lacks lots of features I need. I'm from the people
who try to eliminate all the manual work that can be accomplished by
some programs.

I doubt that Martijn can help me with this mostly because the problem is
not in his program but instead in GDS32.dll (there I see the AV).

If I could attach that process to windows debugger I could find the code
where this exception is generated but on Wine I'm not sure how to do
this ;-(.

That's why I asked this question here where someone could give me a hint
how to make this exception message more informative and to trace the
problematic win32 call that breaks firebird client.

FlameRobin is growing. Give them some time to get big and automated. :)
See http://www.flamerobin.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:roadmap
The best of Flamerobin is that it´s OpenSource!

Meanwhile, have you tried IBExpert? (http://www.ibexpert.com/)

Perhaps this could help? This is about running Database Workbench
under Wine on FreeBSD:

If you get it working with certain steps, please let me know so it can
be documented.

Try an old joke - copy fbclient.dll gds32.dll. It helps on win9x.

[Doychin Bondzhev]

I have it working but with Wine 0.9.10 and 0.9.12.

Also there is one important think in order to use DBW with FB client. You
have to copy msvcp60.dll from Firebird directory to system32.

hmm try the new wine maybe is better http://winehq.com/?announce=1.118
can you get an backtrace or debug the error you have ?

[Doychin Bondzhev]

0.9.12 is the last one I can confirm that works. I have to wait for an
updated rpm for Fedora 5 or 4 before I can test with 0.9.14.

I posted my problem here because I wanted someone to give me an advice
how to backtrace the problem.

Can you build fbclient.dll yourself from source code?

[Doychin Bondzhev]

No I don't have VIsual studio here or MS C++ compiler. I'm a java developer.

According to messages on ibase.ru forum, the problem may be related
to wine's advapi32.dll.

[Doychin Bondzhev]

Actually when I run DBW from terminal I see that wine shows some calls
to this dll and right after that crash occurs.

There is some change in there between 0.9.12 and 0.9.13 that crashes
firebird client library.

Did you try advapi from old wine?

[Doychin Bondzhev]

I will try it but I'm not sure this is possible. There could be some
dependencies.

No change I used the advapi32.dll.so from 0.9.10 with 0.9.13 and there
was not change. I got the same error.

That me wrote to ibase.ru forum about problem.
Today I get and build last wine version (0.9.14).
Good thing that now after calls to fbclient.dll (from
FB-2.0-RC2-12654) there is not hangs but errors.
After some tricking ALL WORKS FINE! And fbclient and IBExpert.
Sorry, I'he not much time now and may write all late.

[Doychin Bondzhev]

I managed to track the problem down to a call to AllocateAndInitializeSid

More specifically the crash is triggered in case the result of the call
to this function is not 0;
