wine users - Jan 2011 - Porting a windows application using COM, ActiveX, MFC

Can I successfully port a windows application using COM, ActiveX, OLE, MFC,
Win32 API to Linux with Wine?
If no, which of the above can pose a problem in porting?

You can't port anything to Linux with listed stuff. None of it has native
analogs. As far as Wine, COM works, all depends what objects you need, ActiveX
is still highly iffy, OLE has number of limitations, but in most part works. MFC
does not exists in Wine, and the rest is win32 api.

If you talking about creating a winelib app of significant complexity - simply
don't. It has no advantages over running native Windows application on plain
Wine. Unless you really want to use native Linux functionality. In that case,
you'll be better off writing a real native Linux port.

I would like the windows application using COM, ActiveX, MFC to execute (if not
port) on the Linux OS. Can Wine do the job of executing it smoothly on Linux?

Try it and let us know.
