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.

I have some legacy code that uses MS compound documents (open, create, add, del, etc.) which I need to port to Sun/Sparc. The rest of the code is MS independent. I'd like to be able to manipulate MS compound documents from SUN/sparc. -----Original Message----- From: harri.haataja@cs.helsinki.fi [mailto:harri.haataja@cs.helsinki.fi] Sent: November 22, 2001 11:09 AM To: wine-users@winehq.com Subject: Re: Compiling winelib on SPARC Sanand Patel wrote:>Does the latest winelib compile and work on the Sparc?

A highly admirable objective, IMHO.
