...when attempting to build a WineLib application.
Remember, I'm attempting to get something that will run-time link against a native DLL, so I take my code, run it by "winemaker", run "./configure", then "make", all with options I believe to be appropriate. In particular, given export WINEDIR=/home/kevin/wine, the root of my Wine source tree checked out from winehq CVS yesterday, and export DLLINCDIR=/home/kevin/include, then from within the directory containing the C source code for my simple console app I execute the following:
$ winemaker --cuiexe -I${DLLINCDIR} -I${WINEDIR} [...snip...] $ ./configure --with-wine=${WINEDIR} \ --with-wine-dlls=${WINEDIR}/libs/dlls --srcdir=`pwd` \ --with-wine-libraries=${WINEDIR}/libs/wine:${WINEDIR}/libs/uuid:${WINEDIR}/libs/unicode [...snip...] $ make [...snip...]
Until make executes, there seems to be no obvious problem (at least to my eyes), and even then, as the compilation happens, I get a nice file called "prog.o" written.
However, as "winebuild" executes, I see the following:
--- LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/kevin/wine/libs/wine:/home/kevin/wine/libs/unicode:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /home/kevin/wine/tools/winebuild/winebuild -fPIC -o prog.exe.spec.c --exe prog.exe -mcui prog.o -L/home/kevin/lib -L/home/kevin/lib/wine -ladvapi32 -lcomdlg32 -lgdi32 -lkernel32 -lodbc32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lwinspool could not open .def file for advapi32 ---
I don't believe I even need anything from advapi32.dll.so, let alone most of the other Wine DLLs mentioned on the winebuild command line. Even if I hack the generated Makefile so as to remove mention of any Wine DLLs on the winebuild command line, winebuild still complains about not opening "...a .def file for ntdll".
On a related note, the configure script generated by winemaker complains about test linking against -L${WINEDIR}/dlls -lntdll.dll and subsequent equivalent builtin DLLs such as -lkernel32.dll and -luser32.dll. My quick hack is merely to clone the symbolic links in ${WINEDIR}/dlls to add a "lib" prefix, vis:
$ ( cd ${WINEDIR}/dlls ; ls -l *ntdll.dll* ) lrwxrwxrwx 1 kevin 18 Apr 1 15:29 ntdll.dll.so -> ntdll/ntdll.dll.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 kevin 18 Apr 1 15:29 libntdll.dll.so -> ntdll/ntdll.dll.so $
That keeps configure happy, but I wonder what I'm doing wrong. This is Wine built from CVS as of 20030401 (i.e. yesterday).
Suggestions? Particularly for the wanted .def files. They're %^*&@# builtin DLLs!
