Problems in Compiling MFC

[suse]

1) i'm facing problem while compiling MFC code
when "winemaker" command is given i get these lines

admin@XXX:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/MFC> winemaker --lower-uppercase .

2) when the "make" command is given, this is how the output looks like



admin@XXX:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/MFC> make
wineg++ -shared dicom_io.dll.spec -mno-cygwin -o dicom_io.dll.so -lodbc32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lwinspool -luuid
winegcc: File does not exist: dicom_io.dll.spec
make: *** [dicom_io.dll.so] Error 2


3) Can u please let me know how to create solve problem regarding .spec and .so files

4) Should i install wine through source archive or RPM installation is sufficent to compile any MFC???
Please help me out

thank u in advance

Wine doesn't contain an implementation of mfc and so can't be used for compiling winelib apps using mfc UNLESS you would compile the microsoft mfc sources. People did that in the past and it worked to some degree but it has legal issues.

If you really need mfc the only way would be to run your app as a win32 app using wine and only split some parts into dlls which you can replace with winelib dlls. (For Wine there is no real difference if your app is a win32 executable or a winelib one. In all cases Wine is used to run it and further for wine there is no difference between a .dll file and a winelib .dll.so)

Thanku for reply...

Please tell me, Can I compile an MFC applicaiton by installing Wine through RPM package (simple RPM based installation of Wine, 1st kind of installation)?

No. Wine does not contain anything related to MFC.

[suse]

If it is not related to MFC then how come in the WineLib User Guide a Particular topic is given to Compile the MFC and even OpenGL related games are running in Wine, which is also a MFC application?

[Thunderbird]

The winelib tutorial is very old. As far as I know nobody recently used it to compile MFC as distributing a winelib dll.so of mfc would have legal issues.

Wine implements core windows dlls and mfc is more a runtime library which lots of apps ship. When a program provides mfc it will work fine. It also works fine if you just put the dll in wine its system32 directory. Since we don't provide our own libmfc.dll.so you can't use it with winelib. (though you could try to create a dummy mfc winelib dll with which you link and then use the real mfc dll; not sure if this works though)

[DanKegel]

The error didn't really look MFC related, but:

Older versions of mfc (e.g. the one that comes with Visual Studio C++ 6)
have an EULA that iirc allows app developers to bundle compiled
mfc with their apps regardless of platform. It's only newer ones that
don't allow that. Also Wine can't ever bundle MFC as it's not an app.

That said, why are you trying to use winelib? Why not just use the
windows binaries for whatever you're doing? Are you trying to target
some non-x86 architecture?

hello,

How should I remove winegcc error!!!!!

I' compiling an SDI application in wine, when I give make command, this is error i'm getting....

Code: Select all

admin@XXX:-./wine/drive_c/windows/system32/MFC>
makewinegcc -c -mno-cygwin -I -o dicom_io_main.o dicom_io_main.c
dicom_io_main.c:In function 'DllMain':
dicom_io_main.c:26: error: 'DLL_WINE_PREATTACH' undeclared (first use in this function)
dicom_io_main.c: error : (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
dicom_io_main.c:26: error: for each function it appears in.)
winegcc:  gcc failed
make:*** [dicom_io_main.o] Error 2

pls help me ...
I would like to know how to solve winegcc error !!!

eagerly waiting for ur reply

first you should try to compile the MFC with winelib, then compile your app with this.

a non-wine-way would be to port your app from MFC to http://wxWidgets.org which is similar but runs on more platforms.

Or Qt (which I recommend).
