wine users - Apr 2005 - Compiling libraries using WineLib under g++

I am a newcomer to programming on Linux. I am trying to port the source code
of some of my libraries (DLLs) under win32 to Linux. I am using WineLib to
provide me the basic Win32 API implementation. I am able to compile my code
using WineLib, but I am not able to perform the link operation. I have
installed the latest development release (20050310). All the Win32 API
functions that I use are being reported as undefined. I tried specifying the
-lwine option to g++,but I could not locate libwine.a on my machine. How do
I create it using the WineLib release?

Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi,

I tried to locate libwine.a on my PC but could not locate it! I had
downloaded the winelib release from SourceForge and ran the
tools/wineinstall script to compile and install WineLib as per the readme. I
am missing anything?

Regards,
Krishnan

You need to use wineg++ not g++ directly.

You need to use wineg++ not g++ directly.

I compiled a DLL using wineg++. But that executable I get is a shell script
for executing the WineLoader. Please clarify whether compiling an app/dll
under wine will still require the WineLoader or if WineLoader is only for
applications to be executed as such in their original binary form?
