Wine on Windows ?

[Wujek_Bogdan]

I'm looking for wine binaries for windows xp.
I can swear i have seen it once at Wine Downloads. Am I wrong?
I need to run old win9x application (it's not compatybile with NT) on winxp.

i tried to compile wine under cygwin. but it fails about 15minutes after 'make'

THX!

That won't work. The Windows binary was for developers only, for testing. As to why it's no longer on the downloads page, my guess is that it was taken off because because of questions like yours.

They were removed because they were ungodly old, and not of much use.

It won't work for most things, but you can use wine dlls to replace
some windows dlls. As dimesio said, it's mostly for testing, e.g.,
what dlls depend on each other. If you _really_ want to do this:

You might try windows compatibility mode, or if it's a dos app, use dosbox.

As a last resort, a VM running Win9x.
