thanks for these hints Thunderbird wrote: > It is not possible to simply use winelib for linking to a win32 dll. You have to compile ALL of your code using winegcc/wineg++, so your whole app will depend on wine. well so far that doesnt sound all too scary. that simply means setting CXX=wineg++ doesnt it?

Thunderbird wrote: > If you don't want that then the only way is to write a small winelib app and use some form of IPC to communicate between the linux and winelib app (e.g. using unix sockets or whatever). Look at the wine-devel archive for discussions about this. now, that sounds scary :( DanKegel wrote: > Don't use Winelib... use mingw on linux to build your app, then run it with wine. Much easier. ok, i think ill look into that. do you know whether thats also possible under macosx? thanks >
