how did wine devs get some values in winbase.h ?

[vtorri]

Hey,

I'm using mingw on Windows for compilation of linux programs and there is a value that is missing in the mingw winbase.h header file: FILE_MAP_EXECUTE

the wine winbase.h file has that value, but mingw devs can't copy it because of the licence used in wine.

So my question is : where do wine devs get these numbers ?

They most likely came from SDK/DDK. There are no license problems if you don't "copy" but "re-type" the same thing. Public API is not patentable.

so the automated way is protected but the old fashion one is ok?


hehe gotta love the loopholes
