The Makefile that Winemaker generates _almost_ works. You need to delete the references to the mfc library and mfc.dll. After doing that, running make generates the .so file. Wine runs it flawlessly.
Nice!
I got to thinking - can I convert the code from the MFC application as easily? Seems like it's doable, because the generated code runs in VC++/Crossover Office 4.1. I tried the same steps as before, with Winemaker, but I couldn't figure out what Makefile modifications were needed.
For MFC apps, I think you need to recompile MFC with Wine first.
All of this got me to thinking - could Wine running Visual C++ be a viable IDE for porting? Maybe just linking VC++ with the Winelib libraries would do it.
This can't be done, we don't have VC++ sources. And besides, you don't get any additional benefits as compared to just running the native PE.
