Hi,
I've tried to reproduce, but failed:
a.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
system("qqq.exe");
return 0;
}
$ mingw-gcc -mconsole -mno-cygwin a.c
$ wine a.exe
It works.
$ mingw-gcc a.c
$ wine a.exe
It works too.
Executable qqq.exe exists in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows directory.
