Hello,
On the Wine site it is said that, WINE is a project to run WIN32 programs on Linux (correct me if I am wrong).
1) The question I have is whether the source code for WIn32 API's can be used on UNIX platforms like Solaris or HP-UX.

Yes they in theory can. But Wine is not an emulator, and will not allow you to run Windows binaries on non-X86 platforms. You would need to run Wine in conjunction with an X86 emulator to do so. Such a project would require significant programming skills and not be for the faint of heart.


2) If it runs on Solaris, will I face issues like Big Endian and little Endian.

Likely there would be some Endian issues, but many of those kinds of bugs have been wrung out in the past, so I doubt there would be an overwhelming number of them.
