Q1: Have You heard about anyone who compiled Borland OWL (Object Windows Library) based project with winelib ?
not to my knowledge
I am trying ATM.
Anyway I have a project which IS written in OWL and need to check how hard will it be to make it working under Linux without rewriting it all.
well, it might be possible. some folks have been successful with MFC however, it has to be checked which BCC++ specific extensions were used by OWL
Yeah, I've read the docs. Gonna check it by experiment.
Q2: With You expirience what would You say to that statment: If my OWL-based program works under Wine it should be convertable to winelib. How true is that statment ?
well, it has to be further checked. I'd say likely (as it's possible with MFC)
May there be any other problems than with source-compiler ones ? It is quite old lib and I wouldn't expect it to use any "new" windows api features. Much less than current MFC - I am sure.
Does OWL case differ much from MS VC++ ?
they are different beasts. OWL is a C++ lib, MS VC++ is compiler/IDE/MFC... coffee machine (oops this has been disabled lately for C# compliance)
I was thinkig about OWL vs. MFC difference. Don't know why my fingers wrote MS VC++ ;-) Nevermind then.
Going back to the OWL sources & wine ;-) (And getting some beer as it is late evening in Poland now ;-)
