similar to: Linux program that uses DLL?

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

Hi, Wine provides a variety of applications in the programs/ dir. this include notepad, regedit, regapi, aviplay, ... This programs (AFAIK) implements the windows equivalent of their .exe with winelib. However, some applications try to run c:\windows\regedit.exe, notepad.exe and fail. My question is, in a windows free environment, if I rename those applications (to a .exe extension and its .so

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 I have a c++ project Im working on under windows. it uses a 3rd party library (ie, i have headers and dll). mostly for development I'd like to be able to work on it under linux. and i thought that should be easy with wine. but now i read through the Winelib User's Guide and Im somewhat lost. its talking about winemaker and bad cases of filenames, generating makefiles and stuff. Im

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

Why is the smb.conf Parameter "default devmode" missing in pretty much any samba documentation like man page etc ?? does someone have a good "official " explaination about this parameter ?

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

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 am trying to follow the instructions here (http://www.winehq.org/docs/winelib-guide/bindlls-wrapper) to build a dll with wine that i can load dynamically in a windows wine application. this is what i am doing: MyWinDll.spec Code: 2 stdcall MyWinFunc (int) MyProxyWinFunc MyWin.c Code: #include <windef.h> short MyProxyWinFunc(int *i) { return 5; } shell Code: winemaker --nosource-fix

Hi All ! I have some windows-maked dll (xxx.dll for example). I want to use it on my Linux machine in my Java application. For this purpose I wrote a small wrapper around the xxx.dll by using winelib library and make it as libxxx.dll.so. Now I need load this library in my jvm (by using System.loadLibrary("xxx.dll"); ) but when I try to call any function from it I got

When I try to load winelib dll I get an error message: "err:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loading of native DLL <dllname> failed (error 193), check this file." The error message is printed for call: DllHandle = LoadLibrary(DllName); This happens even when I try to load standard Wine dlls, like dlls/msisys.ocx.so Did I miss something obvious? Thanks, Andriy Palamarchuk

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.

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

Hi, I'm developping an Adobe FlexBuilder plugin (it's an Eclipse plugin). This plugin is written in Java. But it use windows dlls that was created for some features of the plugin. And I try to port my plugin on MacOSX. I've one question about wine : - In java I use System.LoadLibrary to load my dlls, does Wine can help me for loading theses dlls under MacOSX? Does wine can map these

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)...

Hi, I would like to use a TI dll used to communicate with TMS 320C6211 DSK with my own program written under Linux. Does anybody knows if it is possible (and how) to use (link) a Windows dll in a Linux program ?? Ciao, Riccardo Cerulli-Irelli
