Of course, you will need wine installed. I wasn't clear in my response, but I thought he refered to the fact that now we have to start Winelib apps as: wine myapp.so Ideally, we can just link it to a real executable, without all the wrappers that we have now. Not that it would change much, you will still need the DLLs, etc. but it would be a bit cleaner. Meanwhile, if you use winegcc you are isolated from all these ugly details... -- Dimi.
