How to link and run applications using WinLib

[Arun Kumar Khandelwal]

Hi All,
  I am able to compile and link my test program using winemaker. It
generates a test.exe.so and not test.exe. I do not know how to run this
*.so? What should I do to link and run program using winlib? 
Thanks,
Arun

you use it like any executable. The '.so' part is to signify that the 
file is a ELF shared object.

Also, can you attach the source code and executable in your reply? I'd 
like to take a look at it, if that's not a problem.

You use wine to run the program. If that is a problem then you can 
always provide a wrapper script or hack the source to always load your 
.exe.so file (if you are shipping wine with your program).
