Using wine with --without-x

Post by BarryK »

Hi,
I am trying to use wine in an embedded system to run a win32 console app. I have re-built wine from source and turned off most of the packages that support the screen and features I don't use.
It compiles correctly and runs but when I try to run my app I get errors such as cannot create PNG and cannot open window etc.
I am wondering if this has been done successfully before?
Thanks
-Barry

If you're getting error messages, that means your app needs those functions.

I had assumed that. I have run the program in a console window under Windows and no unhidden windows get created.
I will have to check more carefully.
Thanks
