How to tell winemaker and winebuild what I want to tell it

[Bill Medland]

Anyone able to tell me what I am doing wrong here before I spend days trying
to figure it out?

My winelib wrapper wants to call MultiByteToWideChar and DOSFS_GetFullName.
As far as I am aware they are available from ntdll.dll (ntdll.dll.so)

So I want to to get the build to "link" to ntdll.dll

I thought it should simply require "-intdll" in the argument to winemaker,
but during the link I still get complaints about not finding those two
functions.

What am I doing wrong?

Bill

p.s. Thanks to Francois for the fixes to Winemaker

MultiByteToWideChar is exported from kernel32, not ntdll.
DOSFS_GetFullName is not exported and you can't use it from a winelib
app; you may be able to use wine_get_unix_file_name() instead.

So I guess I am doing something dangerous in adding -lntdll.dll to the link
(which does the trick very nicely).

Yes, this is asking for trouble. It happens to work now but this will
likely change in the near future.

Agreed.  (I suddenly realised it only works because there is the
libntdll.dll.so link and I don't even know if that is just lying around from
the past).

And of course wine_get_unix_file_name obviates the need for the
MultiByteToWideChar.

A propos.  Why is wine_get_unix_file_name nice and exposed (e.g. it is in
winbase.h) yet the wine_dlopen etc aren't?
Are there any other useful wine_* functions that are particularly useful and
ought to be mentioned in the winelib manual?

wine_dlopen etc. are in libwine, they are not exported APIs but normal
Unix functions. So they are declared in include/wine/library.h.
