wine users - Jan 2009 - compiling windows C++ code base using winelib

Hi,

My application holds few windows exe's developed using .lib libraries. This
application which got developed using VC++ is working fine when executed using
wine.I want to compile the same source using winelibraries in linux. How can I
include c++ header files? I can see only windows and msvcrt header files under
wine?
Any help would be appreciated on this C++ header stuff for wine.

Thanks,
Yug

If you talking about MFC - then you out of luck. Wine doesn't have those.

Why do you want to recompile your app using winelib? The gain of recompiling
using winelib is very small. In general you only want to do that when you want
to run your app on a non-x86 architecture. For performance it doesn't really
matter if it is a win32 executable or not. Most apps that use wine e.g.
Google's Picasa and others are just win32 binaries.

You can also just use winelib to port small pieces of your app if you want to
make some native linux calls. To do this just put some functionality in a dll
and port that dll using wlnelib (in winelib you can mix both win32 and linux
code). Because Wine sees no difference between a win32 mylib.dll or a winelib
mylib.dll.so that way works fine. This way is recommended as it is a HUGE task
to port a full app using wineg++t.

Thanks for your quick replies.

Basically my application runs on depending 8 executables.If I run all these
executables using wine which inturn depends on Wineserver which may be a
bottleneck.I mean to say if the winesever gets crashed then my application will
come down.Instead of this I planned to build all the executables using
winelib.It doesnt use any MFC classes whereas includes wine32 APIs with C++ code
base.


Thanks,

If you compile with winelib, it will still use wineserver.

Austin,

Is there any option using winelib I can build linux executables using windows
source code independent of wineserver.

No. If your program uses registry, creates a window, opens file or does anything
useful you have to have wineserver. It's the Wine's "kernel".
