Oh, what game are you testing and what version of OS X?

C&C Generals Zero Hour
OS X Lion on current Macbook Air 13.

Hmmm, I believe that that should work....

doh123, could you throw in the following code somewhere in dlls/ws2_32/socket.c and see which message it generates?:

#ifdef IP_BOUND_IF
# error "The option exists!"
#else
# error "The option doesn't exist :("
#endif

[doh123]

IP_BOUND_IF does exist... i don't think thats the problem.. if I compile code with that ifdef in it, it does come back saying the option exists.

Hmm, I've never checked that Generals behaves the same way as C&C 3 - I'll have to do that.  Is there a way to run wine in the wineskin something like this?:

WINEDEBUG="+winsock" wine NameOfProgram.exe 2>&1 | grep interface

That should give some indiciation of what's going on.

[doh123]

I don't have any way to do a grep...
but the debug channel can be set and the program ran... then you have to manually search the full log.

If airgin sets the debug channel to "winsock" and sends me the log then I can grep it myself   From the reading I've done I highly doubt it's that the option doesn't do what we want, it's more likely that I did something wrong.

Network game started by Mac and is a direct connect, because other way Mac does not see PC:

Odd... This would indicate that the IP_BOUND_IF option doesn't exist:

fixme:winsock:interface_bind Using broadcast packets on interface-bound sockets is not currently supported on this platform,bound broadcast packets will not work on this socket.

doh123, could you see if "#if defined(IP_BOUND_IF)" doesn't work when "#ifdef IP_BOUND_IF" does?

That one works too.

Well that's good.  However, now I'm confused as to why the version doh123 compiled used the wrong part of the ifdef, since socket.c includes both sys/socket.h and netinet/in.h.  This is the relevant bit from the patch:

#if defined(IP_BOUND_IF)
	if (setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, IP_BOUND_IF, &adapter->Index, sizeof(adapter->Index)) != 0)
	{
		ERR("IP_BOUND_IF failed, bound broadcast packets will not work on this socket.\n");
		goto cleanup;
	}
	TRACE("Socket %04lx bound to interface index %d\n", s, adapter->Index);
	ret = TRUE;
#else /* No known way to bind to an interface on this platform */
	FIXME("Using broadcast packets on interface-bound sockets is not currently supported on this platform,"
			  "bound broadcast packets will not work on this socket.\n");
#endif

You could throw an "#error" in the "#else" part, that might help tracking down what the problem is.

Can I do anything else?

Something is wrong with the way it compiled, we need to figure out what that problem is before we can try again.

[doh123]

Its 10.5 ... IP_BOUND_IF doesn't exist in 10.5.  I'll have to try making it 10.6+

Ah, that makes sense - you should be able to still compile it on 10.5 if you find the definition from a 10.6 machine and add it in manually:

#define IP_BOUND_IF  TheNumberForTheOption

It'll only work on 10.6+, but that might make it easier for your compilation purposes.

[doh123]

Compiling isn't an issue since i cannot get 10.5 to build reliable versions anyways, all my builds I do on a 10.6 machine.

I put up a 10.6+ version that hopefully works.. I haven't tested it or anything.

Would you mind testing with the new version doh123 posted?  It should fix the problem, at least in theory

DropBox link is wrong.
It loads WS8Wine1.4-rc3Compholio1-Installer.
Can you correct them please.

Are you sure?  I was able to download the file (WS8Wine1.4-rc3Compholio1-Installer.app.zip)...

Ah, you are quite right - I understand now.  It looks like the correct link is http://dl.dropbox.co...staller.app.zip

Now it works but not perfect. Mac shows only every third chat message. Sometimes the Mac hang on start or PC cannot into Game with the message connection lost.

Thanks to all.

Hmm, odd.  Does the LAN menu work properly?  (Can you view games and chat?)  Also, are you starting a Direct Connect game or are using the LAN system?

[airgin]

Here is the log:

[airgin]

PC sees Mac in LAN menu directly but not the Mac. With a Direct Connect Game everything works perfectly. When I start as normal LAN I believe Mac loosed some network packets. When counting down Mac shows not all numbers e.g. 5,2,1 and stopped before finished.

Hmm, this sounds like it might be a different issue than what I've been trying to fix...  Is it possible for you to test with C&C3?

[doh123]

i fixed the link.. sorry.

This is very odd, I finally got The First Decade loaded on both my computer and my old server computer.  My "Linux Equivalent" to this patch seems to work just fine (both computers see each other, though they both run Linux).  It's possible that the IP_BOUND_IF solution doesn't work like I want it to, but that seems unlikely.  The only thing I can think of from looking at the log might be that WS_gethostname is returning a Fully Qualified Domain Name rather than a "local name."  When I run the same debug channel I get my computer's local name (lappy), you appear to get the FQDN (eo-mac.fritz.box).  I'm not sure if that's a configuration problem or if that's somehow related to How Apple Does Things™, but it might help to see the contents of the files "/etc/hosts" and "/etc/hostname".

Without your patch only direct connect game does work. No chat and PC is for Mac not visible.
