Did you know that MSVC and g++ have completely incompatible C++
name mangling?  In other words, you can only call third party C++ dlls
if you're compiling with MSVC, as far as I know.  And you can't
compile winelib apps with MSVC, since MSCV only generates Windows
apps, not Linux apps.  So you may be out of luck.  Can you
write a windows app rather than a winelib app?  If so, then you
are in business; you can even build it on Linux (by running msvc under wine,
which I do fairly often).
