Hey All,
I'm seriously interested in making the WINESERVER work under Cygwin
and have been invistigating some of the issues related to this matter.
One of the WineHQ developers informed me that:
"... the last time someone tried, the main obstacle was that cygwin
doesn't support sendmsg() to send file descriptors across processes,
which means that the wine server cannot work. This in turn means you
cannot run kernel32 or user32. "
Some further invistigation shows that this is an old issue that has
arisen several times during the course of the Cygwin history. Does
anybody has any clue on the status of this issue ? Could anyone
provide me some useful information that I could take as an starting
point for this implementation ?
Any other comments regarding the bulding/execution of the Wine
under Cygwin would be very welcome.
FLu-X
I guess I don't see the point. Isn't Wine an emulator for running
Windows apps on Unix/Linux? If so then why would you need it under
Cygwin as Cygwin already runs on Windows so if your want to run a
Windows apps, well then just run the Windows app!
