What I would like to do is take an existing windows DLL for which I have the SDK but not the source, and write/generate a C++ wrapper that accesses the code contained therein, and be linked with existing unix programs.
Eg, say I have X.DLL, X.LIB and X.h Is there a way using wine that I can generate wrapper code (say X_wrapper.cc), so that I can link it with a unix program that I would write around the wrapper?
Thus I would have the benefits of developing under the unix environment and libraries, while utilising a necessary proprietary windows DLL. Note, native windows applications that use this DLL work fine when run under wine regularly.
I cannot find documentation for this in the mailing list archives, or the official docs, although Chapter 5 of the winelib users guide seems to be the right place to look, it appears to not be written yet.
Can anyone please direct me to relevant documentation/examples/code?
Thanks,
-peter

Take a look at tools/specmaker, its README file tells you what you need to know.
