Re: WineLib and DLLs

If possible, I don't want to insert it into the wine tree,
I want to leave it in the source tree of my program.

Is including it in the wine tree the only way to link with it?

look at tools/winedump. In spec mode it will generate everything you
need to link to this dll - a makefile and dummy implementation, spec
file and a script to insert it into your existing WINE tree (to link
with). The README gives instructions for exactly this case (and some
other more advanced ones).

Cheers,
Jon

WineLib and DLLs

No, but it is the easiest. If you do the generation of the stub DLL
you can build it outside of the tree with some Makefile hacking.

Another solution you see in the docs is to LoadLibrary() and
GetProcAddress() but IMHO this is not the way forward...

Cheers,
Jon
