wine users - Dec 2008 - playing with Wine on Cygwin

I'm currently playing with Wine on Cygwin on Windows 2000 on
VirtualBox. Just to see what happens. Also to see how feasible Wine on
Windows is from here.

I've been updating the http://wiki.winehq.org/CygwinSupport page
accordingly.

With the 1.1.11 source tarball, I'm getting a compile error:

internettransport.c:348: error:
`Include_winsock_h_before_stdlib_h_or_use_the_MSVCRT_library'
undeclared (first use in this function)
internettransport.c:348: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
internettransport.c:348: error: for each function it appears in.)
internettransport.c:348: error: parse error before "infd"
internettransport.c:379: warning: implicit declaration of function
`Include_winsock_h_before_stdlib_h_or_use_the_MSVCRT_library'
internettransport.c:379: error: `infd' undeclared (first use in this
function)
make[2]: *** [internettransport.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/wine-1.1.11/dlls/inetcomm'
make[1]: *** [inetcomm] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/wine-1.1.11/dlls'
make: *** [dlls] Error 2

Looks like the sort of thing that happens when configure thinks you
have something installed you don't.

I realise this is on VirtualBox, so all results are to be taken with a
large grain of salt. But is anyone else seeing this with Wine on
Cygwin?

Now to give Wine on mingw a try ...

There's little reason to suspect virtualization for a compile time error.

Coincidentally, this bug also occurs on OpenBSD
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16660

You could try the suggested fix attached to the bug report.

No really.  Just try the patches.

to list as well!

I applied http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18288 , which is
the last patch in the bug.

Obviously it's not the thing for Cygwin ;-)

I can't be the only person in the world trying to get Wine to compile
under Cygwin ...

Sorry David Gerard you could be the only person trying to get wine to work under
Cygwin.

Few others are looking at how to get Linux running virtual on windows with full
opengl support to run wine.   Cygwin is not what you call fast.  It could turn
out faster to run linux virtual.

I did not tell you the biggest issue David.  Why some have going the
visualization path.

Wine program loader will not work with windows.

Direct x implementation should work on windows with some tweaking all ready. 
Wined3d is used with a virtualisation solution with windows to send direct X to
opengl so it can be passed threw.

http://winehq.org/status/porting  Kinda out of date and needs updating as well. 
Yes it has not been updated for like 2.5 years.

For testing wine test suite should already build under mingw.

Cygwin virtual posix can cause headaches past what you can dream.   To get wine
working on windows well will require lots of work.
