           Summary: Winelib does not work at all as documented
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20040813
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: wine-winelib
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: gupta.lokesh(a)philips.com


Hi,
I have been trying to use Winelib to build a very trivial Windows Application on 
Unix just to test the working of winelib. But it does not work according to the 
documentation at all. Here are the problems I found:
- When I run winemaker in my project root directory, it runs successfully but in 
the end does not produce any configure script as said in the documentation but 
produces directly a Makefile
- The Makefile must be manually tweaked to put in the WINE include files path 
and the WINE libraries path.
- After changing the generated Makefile, when I run it, I see thousands of 
warnings related to ignoring of __stdcall__ attribute in some of the windows 
header files, but the build goes through
- The generated executable always has a .so extension which gives a feeling that 
it is a shared library rather than an executable
- When I run the above generated file, it simply dumps core without any messages 
"Segmentation Fault"
- When I try to run the above application through GDB to debug it, it crashes 
even before reaching main
- When I try to run the above application through winedbg to debug it, it simply 
hangs, nothing happens after that.

If such a basic thing does not work with Winelib, then I hope that something is 
wrong with the way I have understood things and in my process of trying to do 
this. Can somebody help ?? By the way, the same kind of setup also did not work 
on Linux/Intel and Linux/Athlon combinations as well. So there must be something 
very wrong in the way I am doing it. I imagine that the Winelib user's guide 
documentation is totally out of date, in which case could somebody please 
forward me a document which can produce working executables.

Best Regards
Lokesh
