I really want to have some way to communicate between a Linux program and a Windows program running under WINE. The connection doesn't need to be high speed, a stream is fine - I'm just sending some unicode text. I'm writing both programs myself, so I can implement this in the easiest way, though if there was some way to create and call a Windows COM object from Linux, that would be the most direct solution...
But reading what I can about WINE, I'm guessing that the only easy thing to do is to write a Windows server application with winegcc and either connect to it through a socket - or to have it spawn a Linux application that it has a stream to. But I need some sample code to know how to do this, since I don't have too much time to experiment.
Just to make it clear why I'm doing this - I have some wonderful TTS voices (Neospeech's SAPI5 Japanese voices) installed in WINE and I need to be able to invoke them from a Linux program.
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Joshua Scholar
