Questions on winelib

Post by tris »

Hi.

I'm currently starting the process of porting a windows based gaming engine (uses the windows API),to linux.

I have winelib (winemaker?) and have read through it's documentation but am still unsure what it's really for.

Is it possable to use winelib to assist me in porting this engine from windows to linux,is that what it's for?

If so,do I have to provide all nessesary window headers in order to use winemakers 'make' command.

tris,tired and confused!

Winelib is for creating hybrid windows & Linux *NIX apps.

No, Wine already has all headers you might needs (and Wine supports). If something is missing it most likely won't work. You will still need to create makefiles yourself or with help of some utility like winemaker.

Keep in mind that winelib application can only be run under Wine.
