So with the ICOM_MSVTABLE_COMPAT flag set I get the "off-by-two" calling error from within Winelib when it's trying to invoke a COM function. When it's not set I get the same bug occurring in my program when it tries to do the same.
I'll keep investigating but I'd be amazed if I was the only person who's tried to build a DirectDraw application against Winelib-- surely someone else must have solved this problem before? Or do most Wine users only use Wine for loading PE executables?
I'd say that *BY FAR* most people use Wine to run programs. What would you use Winelib for anyway ? IMHO it has somewhat limited use, given that you don't really gain a lot from "porting" programs via Winelib (neither performance, nor code size, nor ...). (maybe I'm mistaken here, but currently I don't know of some significant gains) The only advantage I can think of would be the use of Unix code, but then you could achieve the very same thing by writing the Unix equivalent DLL of a Windows DLL (e.g.: hardware access or so) and using the Unix specific DLL version instead on Wine.
