Hi, Can anyone tell me how to install winelib? I cannot find it anywhere on the winelib website. Or does it come with Wine? Thanks Col

Hi, I am looking into good way to port Windows applications to Linux and hopefully any other Unixes. I'd like to know about questions below. If anyone answer them, I'd appreciate it. 1. Can I use Winelib to port commercial application whose sources will be not disclosed ? 2. Is it possible to link Winelib statically with an application and distribute it ? 3. In case that I don't use Winelib and use Wine instead to provide commercial application, can we include Wine with the ap...

I would want to make it run natively on Linux. You can't. Winelib still requires Wine to run it. It's a library not an executable. If you want to write native Linux app...

Sorry to bug you all, but I want to know if I am trying to do something impossible. I am trying to use winelib to compile an exe that links to a dll, without compiling the dll under winelib (i.e. the equivalent of simply linking in the .lib). I have a win32 DLL project (hw5) that generates a hw5.lib, hw5.dll and hw5.h under M$. I have a win32 gui exe project (hw6) that includes hw5.h, links to hw5.lib and...

I need to write a win32 program. However, my workstation is a Linux box. I was goingto create a cross compiler and compile my code and run it on wine... However, I heard about winelib, and allegedly I can just use winelib and compile on my linux box using good ol' gcc and it will just work. Is this true? If so how would I set that up? Where can I find the docs?

Does the latest winelib compile and work on the Sparc? Are there any special patches/instructions for this? Are there any mirrors that have the precompiled binary winelib for Sparc? Thanks in advance.

Hi, My application holds few windows exe's developed using .lib libraries. This application which got developed using VC++ is working fine when executed using wine.I want to compile the same source using winelibraries in linux. How can I include c++ header files? I can see only windows and msvcrt header files under wine? Any help would be appreciated on this C++ header stuff for wine. Thanks, Yug

Hi, I have assumed that if I want to use winelib for porting, I must compile MFC under Linux regardless if my app uses MFC or not. Is this true? It seems like if I have to compile MFC and yet I don't use it, I should choose another alternative to port my app since the process of getting MFC to compile is extensive. Also, my app involves vid...

Hello, I'm currently trying to use Winelib to port a fairly big windows application to Linux. The application consists of quite a lot of DLLs, some of which don't depend on the Win32 API (they can be compiled with gcc). I think I read all available documentation, but I still have a few questions: - is it possible to link a linux binary...

(binfmt does not count) You can't just link with winelib and make your app Linux n...

...don't know if this was ever asked, if so sorry. 1.Let's assume we have a source code from some old Windos program for example: a game that useed D3D6, and was released around year 2000, we know that this program works perfectly under wine - am I correct in assuming, that - with the use of winelib - we could compile the source, and create a Linux/BSD/Solaris/whatever executable? 2.We have a source of some new fancy game that use pixelshader, verhexshaders and so on... Again - assuming this game, works perfectly under wine, would it be possible to compile the code with winelib, and if so -...

hello everybody, i have a slight problem, i want to write a wrapper around win32 binary dll and use it with my *nix applications, and i have been through the winelib documentation, and spent pretty much time trying to make a working wrapper, but i can't seem to get it working (with and without prototyping the calls i seem to get many "undefined reference to '....'"'s)... could anyone give me some example on how to actually use win32 dl...

Hi! I'm new to winelib. I'm trying to port a Borland C++ Builder 6.0 application, but I need VCL library: vcl.h. Any ideas?? I would want to make it run natively on Linux. The code is as follows: //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <vcl.h> #pragma hdrstop U...

...lient communicate using two IPC mechanisms: named pipe and shared memory. shared memory consists of a structure, e.g.: Code: struct GameData Using mingw compiler Client compiles well. Then I launch Server and Client using wine and they connect using both IPC mechanisms properly. Compiling using winelib also works. But when winelib compiled Client tries to connect with the Server and read shared memory, it fails to read anything properly from the shared memory. I found that it is only able to read one element of the structure properly which appears to be the first element in the shared memory. nam...

Hi. I'm currently starting the process of porting a windows based gaming engine (uses the windows API),to linux. I have winelib (winemaker?) and have read through it's documentation but am still unsure what it's really for. Is it possable to use winelib to assist me in porting this engine from windows to linux,is that what it's for? If so,do I have to provide all nessesary window headers in order to use winema...

It' s possible to statically link WineLib to my program?

I read the following on wine HQ: Linking in .lib Files .... You cannot use .lib files directly with Winelib. The reason is that winebuild does not support reading .lib files. Support for '.lib' files (or possibly even '.dll' files) could be added in but it is not there currently. Exactly how you deal with that depends on what your situation: 1.if you have the source...

Hi All, I have implemented a JNI library on window that call the C++ dll APIs. Now I want my JAVA program is run on the UNIX system. I have used WineLib to wrapper Window Dlls to the Share Object Lib (so lib) (Using Winedump and Winegcc to build). The functions in the so lib can work normally with my C main test function. BUT when I call it from Java. The function can linked BUT it is crashed at the WineLib functions: hDLL = LoadLibraryA("He...

...o. We'd like to stick with the cl compiler for now because people here prefer the VS IDE for debugging. One option is to move the dependency info into the makefile (we can use gmake just as well as nmake) and continue to use cl.exe from the makefile. That could be just at ton of work. Could winelib be used to generate a gmake makefile that can be run from a Windows command prompt? (unfortunately cygwin is not part of our standard development environment) The code is C and C++. If so, how maintainable are the makefiles? We'd have to update the deps by hand. Can the winelib perl script...

Well, from my recent experience with Winelib, I can tell you this: Winemaker currently sucks, and the makefiles it creates are nonfunctional and you'll have to redo them by hand anyway. Yeah. If I knew anything about how to fix it I just might be tempted to do so :) Thanks, Scott Ritchie On Sat, 2005-01-22 at 13:19 -0800, Dan Denniso...
