Back to the whole linux thing...

I understand the diffuculties in porting a program from one OS to
another. I am extremely interested in using CV, but am without a
Windows box.

Using CV 1.2 and Codeweaver's crossover office version of wine, and
transgaming's winex I recieve a 'Failed to access pre-defined
sources.'error, mentioned by another user earlier.

Unfortuneately, that is the only error I recieve. Is there anyway to
acquire other debug information to pass along to the devs to possibly
work through this issue?

OK. From looking at the code, here is a list of the things that could be
failing that would generate the error specified....

1. Loading a bitmap resource by id from the "resource.dll" file. This is a
resource only DLL that is loaded via an explicit LoadLibrary API call
instead of using an implicit library.
2. Creating a static control window (HIGHLY unlikely this would cause any
problems).
3. Sizing and position the containing form window (again, highly unlikely
to be the problem).
4. Setting the Z order of the splash window to force it on top of all other
windows via SetWindowPos (again, unlikely but possible).
5. Capturing mouse activity to the splash window via SetCapture.
6. Creating a timer via SetTimer. All timers are processed within a
separately created thread to ensure good responsiveness. This thread
creates a static window that then processes messages, waiting for the timer
message to be triggered. The thread itself is already created and running
well prior to the code that is failing, so the thread should not be the
issue, although the timer itself could be.

That's the complete list of things that are being done within the code that
is failing. Hopefully, this will yield some useful bits for the developers
to look into. :-)

Thanks, Rob
