Well.. basically everything that goes beyond compiling small one-file programs
not using the win32api :)
I have to add that i didn't start hacking wine as first step but built an exe
file outside of wine,
so everything that is managed by the wine build system I had to find out by
trial and error
approach.. cross compiling linker flags, win32isms, pointer stuff, c macro
syntax, grasping the nt
printing subsystem.. it really was a tough way from start to.. well the finish
line has yet to be
crossed. Jesse and me will have to cooperate on getting our work merged into
wine 1.1. I haven't
worked on my code for more then three months and first have to check out a
current git and look into
the changes that went into x11drv and what that means for the eventual
implementation of a git engine.
Having said that it was a very difficult thing to do and I am nowhere near
personal satisfaction
about my outcome, it was a great experience and VERY VERY valuable to me. After
first being
introduced to 'real' (complex) programs during the SoC time I am now starting
to feel comfortable
coding and will commit some small code changes to various FOSS projects (wine,
kde, vlc, drupal..)
in the next few months. And wearing that shirt just totally rulez. :D
sincerely,
marcel
