similar to: winelib with a dll

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?

Has anyone have any succes in building a Windows application, on Linux, using winelib??? I followed the steps in the online documentation and didn't work. I used winemaker to create some of the configuration files. I then ran ./configure to generate the Makefile and then I ran make. It compiled the sources fine and it also created the binary. But the binary file is nothing but a link to

Hi, The company I work for, has asked me to use winelib to port some code, however I have a problem compiling the MFC.

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)...

I'd like to know how to link console functions such as WriteConsoleOutputA. They are documented as implemented, and I can compile source code including these function predefinitions, but I get undefined errors when linking. I don't know which library to add to get objects linked. Thanks in advance. Ignasi Villagrasa.

I am attempting to use winemaker on a relatively straightforward Windows App that we have. Just a little background, we started the effort by first evaluating our application in Wine itself and obtained very good results. Now, we're moving on to try and compile a version for Linux by using Winelib and running into this problem. I ran winemaker with this: winemaker --lower-all which finished

Hi! I'm trying to port a windows code to linux via winelib. After running winemaker I get the project files and run ./configure. At a certain point the following message appears on the console: checking for windef.h... configure: error: Could not find the Wine headers (windef.h) I have the windef.h file in a irectory named /usr/include/wine/windows/. Do I need to setup any environment

I installed winelib and ran winemaker on my project. But running the makefile fails because it doesn't know where windows.h (or any other the other windows includes are) How do I resolve this issue? Am I supposed to set the include path to windows.h on my windows drive?

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

A question for the WineLib guru's :) I am using the wine-20011108 build with Mandrake 8.0 and with this version of wine clean compiled and installed I can run several windows programs very successfully :). Then I use winemaker to create a WineLib 'so' file and the compile and link again runs clean. But when I run the resulting 'so' file using this command line: $

Where could I get information about wine libraries content ? For instance, if I'm migrating a WNT console based application using winelib, which is the library I must link with object files ? I don't have this information. Thanks in advance. Ignasi Villagrasa.

I am trying to get a rather large C++ program written in visual studio 6.0 to work on a linux system. I have installed the wine libraries and it runs just fine using: wine <executable name> However, I would like to be able to compile the program using winemaker on my linux box. Winemaker runs smoothly. However, the makefile generated by Winemaker in the root directory has all kinds of

Hi, I'm working with a spectrometer at an research institute but they only have windows 16-bit dll to control the sprectrometer. The dll is documented. My question is: Can I write a linux c++ program that uses this dll with wine? On the wine webpage it says "Optional use of external vendor DLLs" but how do I do it? On a first glance I have also not found any hints on that in

Suppose that I have Windows application using Code: LoadLibrary followed by Code: GetProcAddress It should be possible to load a library implemented in terms of POSIX function but I do not understand how. Should I load the dll.so file generated by winegcc or do i need a plain .dll file?[/code]
