Is printf a windows function? msvcrt, crtdll, I guess if your app imports one of those, it is, but I have no idea where it is spoze to printf to. Looks as if it should go to unix stdout, maybe. If you use builtin msvcrt, you could use --debugmsg +msvcrt and see what is happening to those printfs. If you use native msvcrt, use debugmsg +snoop, I guess. What are you compiling your app with? Are you still using a windows compiler, or did you give it to winemaker as I suggested? Anyway, the "right" thing to do is to use the windows debugging API, I think wine implements most of it. Hmmm, if you use console functions (I guess printf would be one), I think you are meant to use wineconsole to run them instead of wine. This gives you a separate console window. I don't have any apps handy that do this console output, and I haven't gotten around to making one. C is not my native language, (I learned programming before there were little-endian machines or compilers), and the windose api is even less to my liking. Maybe that will help. try wineconsole myapp.exe or if you compiled your app as a winelib program, WINEPRELOAD=myapp.so wineconsole If you have a current wine (CVS of 24 November or later, I think) this may work. Maybe it is not that new. It is already in man wine :-) Lawson ---oof--- ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
