Hallo all, I would like to ask you if there is a way how to convert .dll library to the Linux .so library? This library contains simple functions (something like voice codec) "without any dependency" on the Windows operating system - it's "platform independet", but packed into the .dll.
I'm trying google, wine mailing list archives and I can't find anything about this issue. Do you think it's possible to do this or should I forgot and fight for the source code?
Best regards, Robert

If your dll code is already C/C++ the easiest would be to create a new .so project (e.g. with KDevelop) and then copy/paste the dll functions to your .so project.

This subject is discussed often. You can see Just now another thread: "how to connect to com object "outside" from wine?" that is trying a similar thing.
In your case you should look into the "mplayer" project. They have copy pasted wine code to do Just that for VFW & DirectShow CODECs. You might be able to do something your-self. Also look back in the mailing list (search for mplayer) there was a guy who confest that he had a look. My be contact him to see what he's done.
Please if you do succeed, could you post your findings (and code) here so we can use it too?
Dimi! What about this WineGuru of ours. I know, I know. I've been busy too. (much) WineGuru.org is taken (but not use). I think it would be better to do something like: wineguru.winehw.org or wdn.winehq.org or Just winehq.org/wineguru. Could you talk to CodeWeavers guys :) ? I have played around with a template. It needs a php on the server. Have a look on: http://www.potato-factory.com/forum/ or Just http://www.phpnuke.org/ . I'm trying to get the potato-factory developer to do that for us. If needed I'll kidnap his dog or something. We do need a place where people post their Test projects, thoughts, experiments, flops, god little helper scripts and all that stuff that can make someone's life easier.
