Hi, This is one of the last remaining hacks needed to compile the d3d parts of Wine with Visual Studio. Our definition of **environ is conflicting with one already in the Windows SDK headers: 1>..\..\wine\libs\wine\loader.c(54): warning C4273: '_environ': Inkonsistente DLL-Bindung. 1> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\stdlib.h(299): Siehe vorherige Definition von '_environ' I'm sorry for the German, I don't know how to change this. Google finds only other clueless people. Either way it says something like "Inconsistent DLL binding" The line in stdlib.h declares _environ as _CRTIMP extern char ** _environ; /* pointer to environment table */ The compiler just writes a warning, but afterwards linking fails: 1>loader.obj : error LNK2001: Nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol "__environ". The linker complains about an "unresolved external symbol __environ". Removing our declaration of environ fixes the warning, link error and libwine seems to work OK. I don't know what the proper fix is, please advise. Maybe this code shouldn't be compiled at all? I don't think I need the loader code on Windows. Stefan
