wine users - Oct 2010 - dlls. any way to convert or "wrap" them using wine?

Hello.  I am working to make Linux ports of a couple of games that were made
using AGS (adventure game studio).  there's a linux engine for running games
to use to port them and I am very close getting 2 of them working.  However, one
of them uses a few additional plugins, in dll format.  Since linux is not
compatible with dlls this causes the game to crash before it even starts up.  I
cannot get the source files for any of these plugins.


SO the real question here is... Can Wine be used to wrap dll files and make them
linux compatible?  Obviously once I got that far, some further modification
would need to be done to the binaries for running the games, but this is what I
am worrying about for now.

thank you.

Short answer: Not in the way you want it. You'll need the entire Wine to
work as a "wrapper".

Long answer: There are lots of things required by most dlls. All those things is
what makes Wine. You can't pull only one piece of it, because they are all
connected. Just loading dll is easy. But making it work, and providing all the
functions it might call - hard.
