The ELF binary must be run via wine-preloader. In other words, it's really no more convenient than using wine on a win32 binary. - Dan

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 USEFORM("textS.cpp", TextStuff); USEFORM("aboutS.cpp",

mikolajz wrote: > Winelib allows you to compile a Win32 application to an ELF binary that can be run directly on Linux No they can't be run directly on Linux. All Wine's programs are winelib (notepad, wordpad, winecfg, etc). Go ahead and run then directly (without Wine). Again I'm not talking about a binfmt magic with witch you can run even java programs "directly".

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

Just a (probably crazy) thought: What about porting Windoze apps that aren't written in C? I've got a Delphi application that currently runs under Virtual PC under OS 9.2 on an eMac (PPC Processor), which would run much faster without those OS layers in between. I don't really have a clue as to whether this really far-out-whacky or not cuz I am not really a Delphi, or, for that matter,

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

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 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.

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)...

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

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

I have the following variables: -ID, the identification of the individual -trail, with 2 levels -treatment, with 3 -time, measure 5 times the same individual -VCL, the response variable I tried the following in R, within.gr<-groupedData(VCL~time|ID/treatment/time,data=within)

Hi all, I have a small program (~10k lines) that just uses elementry API (like SendMessage). It compiles under Borland C++ Builder 5.5.1 (for win exe) and under g++ with winlib. The problem is that the Builder EXE runs perfectly with WINE __BUT__ the library built with winlib does not run - spits out a segmentation faul @ line 400 (whatever that means) and some Error 139 with nothing else. All

Hi all, I need to use BCB6 with Wine to develop a software that uses two ocxs built with MS Visual C++. I set ole32, oleaut, typelib to native for bcb, else it doesn't start correclty. After that, BCB start up, I can design the forms, write the code, but I have two problems that block me: a) when I press the Execute button, the units are compiled, but the linker hangs up with all the cpu used
