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 with "linux" shared libs and

Welcome, We are developing a program for Windows(using MSVC if it matter). It was found some time ago that it would be good to have linux version. But program can't be ported easily becouse our own (non-gui) code cannot be easily ported, also, we use some third-party components which simply is not avaible under linux(we have only binary DLLs).Functionality of those components cannot be easily

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

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 application that can run by itself

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

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 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 video compression for internet use. Should I expect a

I have a little program coded for windows, and I want to compile it using winegcc. Unfortunately, some functions are not implemented in winelib, and I have to tweak some files. So, How do I submit those changes ? I found nothing on the WineHQ site. SO, if someone knows where to redirect me, I can do it alone! ___________________________________________________________________________

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?

My debian Synaptic just updated me with winelib 9.58, which I should have been looking out for - because winelib 9.58 totally messes up internet explorer's display of pages with fixed backgrounds. (Repeated images, garbles everything). But winelib 9.44 is Ok, so I need to downgrade. Does anyone know of a repository that has winelib 9.44? Thanks.

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.

I need to run the same worker''s method twice per day with different arguments. Unfortunately, only the second entry in the schedule is firing. I created an experimental worker to verify this: Worker: class ExperimentWorker < BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker set_worker_name :experiment_worker def create(args = nil) # this method is called, when worker is loaded for the first time

Hello everyone. I 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

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)...

It used to be that streamed titles could exceed thirty characters. Ever since I upgraded to I believe it was version 2.4.0, no matter what I send, there's a truncation of the artist-plus-title combined sting. At first, I thought it was an ices-cc problem, but it isn't, because when live programs connect to the input port, the title bar still cuts off at thirty characters. I've

If my application is compiled with winelib, do I need to install Wine to run the application? Thanks. Michael

Hello, I'm an embedded software developer. Most of our development is done with a cross-compiler, and is built using nmake makefiles. We also have a windows console cli application that talks to the target via USB. It was orignally written using the VS 6.0 IDE. Later, when we wanted to integrate building it into our automated build environment, we wrote makefiles (we did not use VS's

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

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
