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.

You need to compile source and link it against Wine libraries (Winelib) instead of Windows libraries. Did you check out the Winelib User's Guide? http://www.winehq.org/docs/winelib-user/ Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

To port an application to Linux with Winelib you need the program text. --- Walter White <walterjwhite@hotmail.com> wrote:> I have tried but have had limited success.

To port the application to Linux you need to recompile this text with Wine libraries. You can run the application only with Wine if you have only binaries. Please, if you refer to my message, quote the relevant part of the message. It will be easier for me to respond you.> I have done this but > cannot run make.

Did you check out the documentation I referred you to? Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
