[OS X] How to link kernel32.lib.so with OS X XCode project?

Hi

Please tell me how can I use parts of WINE / WineLib (mainly Kernel32 library implementation) in Mac OS XCode projects?
I tried to link kernel32.lib.so with a test application, which used one of the Kernel32 functions - GetCurrentDirectoryA(), but got a linker error, which was not able to resolve this function

The most puzzling thing is that if I run otool on Kernel32.lib.so, it says the shared library is linked with several OS X dynamic libraries and also with libWine.dylib... But what is libWine.dylib? I've installed WINE with MacPorts and there is no libWine.dylib on my system... Should I try to build WINE manually

, probably selling my soul to the devil in order to resolve somehow unbelievably painful problems with 68 libraries, which WINE depends on...?

I'm desperate, please help!!!

What EXACTLY are you trying to do with Wine? BTW, Wine DOES NOT
support the Aqua interface and requires the use of X11.

Simple answer: you can't.
Long answer: winelib requires entire Wine to run. You can not simply link to parts of Wine without major code modifications.

That's too bad

Thanks for the answers though...
