As many of you know, Brian and I are writing a book on
Wine and Winelib for Prentice Hall. Brian's doing the
Wine part; I'm doing the Winelib part.
At Wineconf, I had a number of conversations about
Winelib's role in converting Windows apps. The
consensus seems to be that the most efficient

You can set a break point, the debugger runs, and
stops at the break point. You can inspect and change
variables.

I have Visual C++ 6.0 running under Crossover Office
4.1, which of course means it's running under Wine.
For one of the examples in the Wine/Winelib book, I
decided to take the code produced by the VC++ Win32
"Hello World" wizard and see how to port it to Wine.
Turns out, it's almost trivial. Cr
Scott,
Integrating SCONS and Winelib is a wonderful idea.
I'm currently struggling with explaining in a cookbook
way how to port an MFC program to Winelib. Also,
there's a lot of demand for porting .NET apps and if
Winelib can support that as well this will attract
more developers.
I'll be happ
I'm giving a presentation on converting Windows
programs to Linux at MIT (the Boston Linux User Group)
on April 20th from 7pm to 9pm. The BLU may be the
oldest Linux user group in the US. It's been around
at least since 1993, has been meeting regularly since
then, and has a lot of activity. The
An excellent idea! I definitely want to include a
section on compiling the MFC with Winelib in the book.
From what I can see, it looks like a big part of it
is compiling stdafx.h and generating precompiled
headers. A nice enhancement would be for winemaker to
sense that it's working with MFC sou
Another thought. Microsoft maintains a publicly
available Website for the MSDN, at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com
It has code, knowledge base, API docs -- a large part
of the MSDN subscription CDs. It could be argued that
by doing this, Microsoft has released their copyright
to the public domain.
Jeremy,
I agree - this is an exciting development. Microsoft's
ability to spread FUD and their legal budget are
enormous. We need this kind of expert help.
Here's an area where I'd like an expert opinion. In
the Winelib part of the Wine book, I'd like to include
an example of converting a Mic

No, it just points out the need for defining and
running regression tests. There are so many
interdependencies that it's too easy for one fix to
unfix a lot of other stuff.
That's why the Codewea
I'm going through the examples in Petzold's
Programming Windows Fifth Edition, to familiarize
myself with Winelib and to test against Wine 20050111.
I am also comparing the output against Visual C++ 6.0
compilation on Windows XP.
I finished Section 1 (Chapters 1-12) and found the

I'm writing the Winelib part of the book. The main
audience is Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 users. I can
define a development environment for both MFC and
non-MFC users, since it is well documented already.
I was wondering - I'd like to include a section for
Visual Basic 6.0 users. Beyond running t

it.
The Wine version is 20041201. My computer is a Dell

Is this a bug? If so, is there a patch for it?
Should this be tracked?
