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

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! 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",

Hello, all! My program is written on Borland C Builder 6 Not properly method TForm-> Show () works; And on operational system Ubunto 10.10 it works properly, and already in Ubuntu 11.10 method TForm-> Show () works not properly. Elements of a window receive focus of input from the keyboard, and the window remains not active! The heading of a window and is not painted in color of an active

hello, I try to include the speex header to a bcb project. Speex headers are the latest one. My first problem was to use the lib file with bcb. I solved this issue by restructing the lib file. The second problem is to access the constant called "extern const SpeexMode speex_nb_mode;" through borland's c++ builder. I could analyze the export table of the libspeex.dll. Unfortunately I

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

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

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

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,

Hello, Would a wine developer please revisit this page http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winelib-guide/winelib-getting-started and modify it to have a step by step guide to take a Linux box without wine nor winelib to a running notepad exe built by the newbie (and not downloaded)? Or if you are a wine-user, please provide such steps to this list. As a newbie, the statement "It can be found

Hello Can you please tell me if it is possible to resolve the following Cocoa framework / WineLib 1.3.20 conflicts? I am trying to a port a game from Windows to OS X and I would like to use WINE's Windows Kernel32 library implementation in a Cocoa application [Embarassed] I think I can probably solve the problem by creating a C++ code only Cocoa framework and linking it with WineLib and my

Hi I have two programs: The first is a windows binary compiled in Visual C++ which acts like a Server. The second program is a Client, which I compile from sources. Both are written in C++. Server and client communicate using two IPC mechanisms: named pipe and shared memory. shared memory consists of a structure, e.g.: Code: struct GameData Using mingw compiler Client compiles well. Then I

I read the following on wine HQ: Linking in .lib Files .... You cannot use .lib files directly with Winelib. The reason is that winebuild does not support reading .lib files. Support for '.lib' files (or possibly even '.dll' files) could be added in but it is not there currently. Exactly how you deal with that depends on what your situation: 1.if you

Unfortunately not all our documentation is up to date. We try to move more to our wiki and update it there but I'm not sure if there is winegcc stuff there already. You have roughly two options. The easiest one is to dynamically load the dll using LoadLibrary and load the functions you need using GetProcAddress. Another way is to create a dummy dll against which you can link. You need

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

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, I compiled a C program file on Borland C++ 5.5 compiler to get one dll output (as instructed in the file readme.package). The C program file is just the example on page 31 of "writing R extensions": void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { int i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0; for(i = 0; i < *na; i++) for(j = 0; j

The following modification is needed in os.h to compile under C++Builder.

Hello! I'm trying to install Borland C++ 5.5 free compiler into my RH7 Linux box but I can't get it to work. Running the installer brings a blank dialog with "Prev", "Next" and "Cancel" buttons but nothing more.. and pressing the buttons doesn't do anything and the dialog doesn't close. I waited for more than 15 minutes (I read it in FAQ
