Re:GetStdHandle Problem

Thanks for answering at first to Eric Pouech.

I don't know about  this executable. I don't find wineconsole file 
anywhere in wine installation.

Perhaps I'm going wrong in any of the steps I'm following. I'll explain 
what I'm trying to do.When I began to migrate this console based 
programs I wanted to migrate them entirely to Linux without using Wine. 
I could think of this because my Win32 console programs are designed in 
native C and C++ and most of its calls are related to ANSI C, and so the 
migration remains simplified. Console management is platform specific 
however. I use Win32 console API, and use structures such as 
INPUT_RECORD. So I'm using Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar and 
Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualScanCode to get and manage keyboard inputs. So 
it's difficult for me to migrate these calls to, for instance, a ncurses 
layer, because I must redefine the complete user interface. So I thought 
of winelib library in order to integrate this part of the programs 
without changing source code. What I want is add to my program winelib 
the same way I'm adding other libraries. I don't want to run the program 
as a Win32 native one, but as a Linux native one.

So the steps I followed are:

- I installed wine package, getting it from codeweavers.
    - I added the include files in my source code in order to compile 
the programs.
    - I created spec file as wine documents.
    - I compiled it as documented.
    - I added the resulting .c file to my makefile.
    - I compiled all the modules.
    - I added then following libraries to my makefile linker step: 
-lkernel -lntdll -lwine -lwine_unicode. Tell me if that's all right.
    - I linked and created the executable without problems.

So, as far as I know, the only place where I call GetStdHandle is in my 
console module and for displaying and keyboard interface purposes.

conhanout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
        conhanin  = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);

I don't know if the programs may have any additional implicit call to 
this function.
> does your program use AllocConsole or FreeConsole ?

No. My program doesn't call explicitly to AllocConsole or FreeConsole.

Thanks in advance. Ignasi Villagrasa.

yes, you're right. latest codeweavers package doesn't include it yet
since, this (wineconsole) includes a rather large modification of the
console, and if you're concerned about maintenance, upgrading to a
more recent wine is recommended

your approach is perfectly valid, and if it doesn't work yet, Wine is to 
blame. My question was rather if your GetStdHandle calls were done in
global object constructors (read *before* main gets called)
