build stand alone binaries

[Benjamin Zeller]

Hi there,

is it possible to build real elf binaries with winelib?
If i go through the tutorial on winehq.org i get only a appname.exe.so
and i have to invoke wine to start the application.
Is it possible to compile a binary wich can run stand alone?


regards benjamin z.

No, you would still need the DLLs. It's like having a Win32 binary
that includes _all_ the DLLs that come with Windows.
