--- Comment #3 from Zebediah Figura z.figura12@gmail.com --- If that's what you're trying to do, I don't think it'll work. Named pipes are, broadly speaking, more complicated than that. A better approach would be, I think, to use a winelib executable to read messages from the win32 pipe and write into a Unix socket. That looks from cursory examination like what both of the linked projects do, although the first skirts the tricky bits of winelib by instead making direct syscalls, and the second involves some other service I didn't inspect very closely.
