similar to: Porting with Winelib

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

Hi, The company I work for, has asked me to use winelib to port some code, however I have a problem compiling the MFC. I run winemaker 0.5.7 with options: 'winemaker --lower-uppercase -nomfc --dll ./ > \ winemaker_output.txt' No errors in file or stderror; further winemaker accesses the correct directories. But when I run ./configure as: './configure --with-wine=/usr/bin \

I am trying to port an MFC app to Linux using winelib. Can someone please give me a pointer or two??? I have looked at section 4 of the online documentation and not much were mention there. Thanks for help in advane. -Carl

I've changed the message thread to compiling MFC with Winelib because I believe that is the real essence of my issue at hand. If I can figure out how to compile MFC then I will have solved my dillemma of which way to choose in porting my app to Linux. If I can't then I can use the only path available. So, there is a big vacant spot in the WineLib users guide for compiling MFC. I've

Hi, I am using Winelib and no mfc to get a company app to run on Linux. It is a cuiexe as well. However, I get a lot of errors when I include <msvcrt/io.h>. e.g., /usr/include/wine/msvcrt/stdio.h:66: syntax error before '(' This line is: typedef struct MSVCRT(_iobuf) Is it possible to do this with C/C++? I am assuming it is a Windows thing. My version of wine is:

OK, I am definitely new to porting from Windows to Linux. You may have already seen my previous post about Winelib, ignore it for the time being. We have an app that dates back several developers, which of course no longer are available, and several years. We have had quite a few requests for a version that runs on Linux and hence the work to get the app ported. It is not a large app by most

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?

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 Dennison wrote: > Building MFC for winelib has been

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.

Hi Everybody, I Created a small application in VC++ MFC. The application displays a messagebox on clicking a buttton. This application I want to port on Linux version. Iam using Linux ver. 9 and kernel version is 2.4.20-8. with WineLib I copied all the source code from CD and I change the mode read /write than in the current directory i used winemaker command user/sample>winemaker

What are advantages of using Winelib to port instead of rewriting it entirely in Java?

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

Question: I've been trying to compile the MFC, using the advice offered on the winelib user's guide, but with little luck. Same with the ATL. My app has been working under Linux using straight wine, but I've been tasked to try and do a winelib build. Anyone have a good Makefile or source setup for the MFC 4.2 and/or the ATL? I'm really stuck. :( --

I am trying use mfc to compile programs in Linux Well, i have compiled a part of mfc which is need to my VC6 application and the mfc and mfc+application are compiled without errors or undefined reference, but when i ran the program i saw this error: /winhelp: could not load library './winhelp.so' as Winelib application: cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file:

Hello. I am working for a company with a complex (commercial) MFC application that we wish to port to Linux. I have read the guide to compiling the MFC and I have a few questions (hope this is the right place to ask them!): - Is it necessary to recompile MFC? Could we not just distribute the same mfc42.dll file as we use under Windows and use that? - Has anyone written a complete,

When compiling the following line of code using WineLib 20010731 you get a warning message. // generates a warning CompareString(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, dwFlags, s1, -1, s2, -1); These warning relates to the defines found in include/winbase.h file where we have: UINT WINAPI CompareStringA(DWORD,DWORD,LPCSTR,DWORD,LPCSTR,DWORD); UINT WINAPI

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

Can I successfully port a windows application using COM, ActiveX, OLE, MFC, Win32 API to Linux with Wine? If no, which of the above can pose a problem in porting?

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
