wine users - Jul 2008 - windows program compiled using wineg++ looks for wine binary

Hi !

I have compiled a sample Windows VC++ win 32 based HelloWorld application using
the winelib. I used wineg++ to compile the application in Linux. When I try to
execute the application it looks for  wine. When I set the path to the wine /bin
directory the application works properly.

Is it possible that after compiling using wineg++ the program will run in any
platform even if wine is not installed in that system.

When I compile the sample application using g++ with winelib it does not throw
up any error but during linking time it gives many "undefined
reference" error. Is not possible to make a Linux native binary using the
winelib.

No it's not currently possible.

Winelib application is a library not a real executable and requires full Wine to
run.
