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 in the programs subdirectory." had me lost. I don't know if the steps I took are correct, but somehow I found http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs. Perhaps the winelib-getting-started page could be modified to direct a newbie how to download the "test drive" at this point. Then I only checked out wine/programs/notepad since the statement "(but read the next section before actually doing this!)" intimidated me on the cvs page. The first error after a make was "dialog.c:27:21: error windows.h: No such file or directory". Then I had the brilliant idea to checkout all of wine, even though I was intimidated initially by the statement "(but read the next section before actually doing this!)". The make still failed with the same error, even though I now have the wine/include directory. Not knowing any better, I modified the Makefile from INCLUDE_PATH = -I. to INCLUDE_PATH = -I.:/my/path/to/wine/include. I retried make and get the same error. I'm stumped. The 1.3.3 Step by step guide was too general for me. But maybe that's because I needed section 1.3.2 to be more detailed for the task at hand, building notepad. And perhaps 1.3.3 can be left alone for more general information. Please advise. Thanks, D -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you even have wine installed on your machine? Me, I don't think so. Do you even know what you are trying to do here? Daniel
It appears that 2 above average users replied directly to me and not to the list. Interesting since your steps complemented each other. Thank you, you anonymous heros. But I think the entire list would have benefited since 2/3 of you replied without sophomoric l33t remarks. Maybe the intention of the 1/3 was to welcome me to the list with a trolling attempt. I will let my post and his reply speak for themselves. To those who are helpful: Well wine-0.9.15 failed to build on AMD64 Ubuntu running VMware Player running Intel x86 Ubuntu. Due to one of the helpful replies, I noticed that wine-0.9.15 had something new in that release for the Mac. I didn't even know Wine proper was available for the Mac. I thought I'd have to wait for Darwine. As building on the Mac is my ultimate goal, I tried it. Running ./configure on the Mac instructed me to make some changes. Then the build and install went well. But the existing notepad did not run. Anyway, wine-0.9.16 builds and installs on both the above platforms. But when I try to make notepad2, they both fail at the same point with: winegcc -c -mno-cygwin -I. -o dialog.o dialog.c winegcc -c -mno-cygwin -I. -o main.o main.c wrc -I. -foBg.res Bg.rc Bg.rc:21:24: (Ubuntu: Error: syntax error) (Mac: Error: parse error) make: *** [Bg.res] Error 1 Do you have any advice for me here?>From the notepad2 directory, I ran "wine ../notepad/notepad.exe.so" on bothplatforms. I got: err:imagelist:ImageList_ReplaceIcon no color! (4 times) Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. (2 times) (Ubuntu) The X11 driver is missing. Check you build! (2 times) (Mac) Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly. (2 times) Do you have any advice for me here? It's been ages since I had to set the DISPLAY, and never on a Mac. wine-0.9.15 fails to make notepad2 on the Mac in the same way as on wine-0.9.16 on the Mac (Bg.rc:21:24: Error). Anyway, my ultimate goal is to build a console (non X11) application on Mac OSX and I need to link with a 3rd party .lib which even statically linked uses a dll. I learned this week that that is not a contradiction in terms. Are there any console apps to test in the programs directory? Is there anywhere specific I can find instructions to build my own console app that needs to link (statically or dynamically) against a 3rd party .lib and run it while having the .dll available? Although things have not gone smoothly, I'm going to continue with Chapter 2 of the Winelib User's Guide. Regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
