Hi,

I’m trying to compile a simple windows dialogue app over to run on *nix with winelib. I’m looking at it as proof of concept for porting a larger application over.

I’ve been getting errors from gcc to do with vc++ casting, where it loses precision.

LinuxPort.cpp: In function ‘int WinMain(HINSTANCE__*, HINSTANCE__*, CHAR*, int)’:

LinuxPort.cpp:34: error: cast from ‘CHAR*’ to ‘WORD’ loses precision

LinuxPort.cpp:39: error: cast from ‘CHAR*’ to ‘WORD’ loses precision

winegcc: i486-linux-gnu-g++ failed

Ive tried to use static_cast<> and also c-style casting using () but can’t seem to get it working.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lewis
