similar to: linux executable loading linux .so which calls windows dll

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'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

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

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, 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 \

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

Ive recently got metatrader to work on linux uner wine and would now like to see if i can import a dll wrapper so i can use some code i wrote in linux. Im trying something like this (based on http://www.winehq.org/docs/winelib-guide/bindlls) : add.c: Code: int add(int a,int b) { return a+b; } add.h: > int add(int,int); WinAdd.c: WinAdd.c: Code: #include <windef.h> #include

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?

Hey, Does anyone know of any VC++ to UNIX/LINUX makefile converter? If there is anything in the works or should I just bit the bullet and write my own script? Thanks, Joe

I have a general question to anyone that has run winemaker to port a windows application in linux. Rhinoceros 2.0 has run on wine version 20020512, but I want to get it to run without using wine. Can someone walk me through the steps for using winemaker to do this? Your help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Walter White

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. I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question, or if the wine-devel list is more appropriate; please let me know if I should ask over there. I'm trying to build, using winemaker/winegcc/etc, a DLL for use with a Windows binary. This is a somewhat unusual case, in that this library is actually explicitly being written for a Windows binary that will run in Linux (I'm

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, how can I use _beginthread with winelib (I get "undefined reference") ? thanks, -- Felix Natter

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 currently starting the process of porting a windows based gaming engine (uses the windows API),to linux.

I am using Lotus Notes 5.04a under Wine/Linux, and I can say the wine developers did a great job. I would like to start a Linux program from wine, e. g. start the Acroread viewer when clicking on an attached PDF document. Does someone know how to do that ? Reinhold

Any chance of some help please? I have just started trying to get WineLib working on my machine, after playing with wine for several months. I am starting slowly. The BASIC hello, world. (no graphics, no Microsoft etc) I run winemaker and configure (with -L/usr/local/lib) make generates ./hw2.spec:7: could not open .so file for advapi32.dll I am aware of the discussion in January (compiling

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/.
