FWIW, news of SFU and wine

[Wesley Parish]

I've installed MS SFU successfully.  I can now use gcc under wine on Linux to 
compile source for Linux under wine on Linux ... ;)  A bit bizarre, and a 
decidedly roundabout way of doing things, but what's a challenge for?

I had a go at installing the x-window-system-on-MS-Windows package shown but 
it halted with these error messages:

[wparish@localhost sfu+X]$ wine x-win612LX.exe
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "InstallShield Wizard" of other 
process window (nil)
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
fixme:shell:SHELL32_DllCanUnloadNow (void): stub
[wparish@localhost sfu+X]$

So at the moment I can't run X under wine on Linux just for the fun of it and 
the delight of saying I can ... ;(

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Are the SFU not implemented on top of ntdll? Considering that we don't 
even have NtCreateProcess it's hard to believe for me that it works...

This is what I get while testing it
[wparish@localhost Interix]$ wine posix.exe
The license for Services for Unix has expired.
Please update your licensing information.
fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x1003290,0) - no error checking or 
testing yet
[wparish@localhost Interix]$

Evidentally it suffers from license paranoia.

It's a bit of an ancient build of wine, I fixed that fixme last year.
