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@winehq.org ReportedBy: gupta.lokesh@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 I imagine that the Winelib user's guide documentation is totally out of date, in which case could somebody please forward me a document which can produce working executables.
