libkernel32.a missing TOOLHELP API exports

libkernel32.a missing TOOLHELP API exports

[Steven Edwards]

I've attempted to build the wine psapi.dll under windows using msys and
cygwin and I get this result:

psapi_main.o(.text+0x308):psapi_main.c: undefined reference to
`Process32First@8'
psapi_main.o(.text+0x31f):psapi_main.c: undefined reference to
`Process32Next@8'
psapi_main.o(.text+0x698):psapi_main.c: undefined reference to
`Module32First@8'
psapi_main.o(.text+0x6af):psapi_main.c: undefined reference to
`Module32Next@8'

If no one else wants to do it I can submit a patch. What list do I need
to report win32api bugs on?

Thanks
Steven

Either or both of

cygwin-patches@cygwin.com and mingw-dvlpr@sourceforge.net .

I'm not sure where these definitions should go, though.  Do they go into
the kernel32.def file or should there be a separate tlhlp32.def file?

Is there already a convention for this?

Process32First@8 is not present in kernel32.dll on nt4.0 sp5.
I believe this kind of api is very OS-specific. On nt4.0 process
enumeration functions are available from microsoft's psapi.dll
included (among others) in Resource kit.

The toolhelp apis exist on both Win98, 2k and XP. They are part of
kernel32.dll but are developed using a separate import lib (libth32.lib
under VS6). I didn't think that libth32.a existed in the w32api package
before I sent the email. Now the only question is if it is still the
same for Visual Studio.Net or did the move the th32 import information
to kernel32? If M$ did change it then we should also.

Thanks
Steven

If there is precedent for a separate library, then IMO that's what we
should do.

You can submit w32api patches to the http://sf.net/projects/mingw bugs
reporting tool.

Please don't send patches to mingw-dvlpr@lists.sf.net.  Such posts will
be rejected.  If you must post to a MinGW mailing list, use
