Bug #: 29577
           Summary: msvcmaker-generated projects try to run non-existent
                    winebuild.exe
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.36
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: build-env
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Tried working around bug 29509 by using a commandline build of wine.

Sadly, Visual Studio 2005 and later no longer have an Export Makefile option,
so you have to use devenv's /Build option.

I found a buglet in msvcmaker and posted a patch, 
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2012-January/110405.html

I then tried a non-gui build as follows:
1) tools/winapi/msvcmaker

2) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/Common7/IDE"/devenv wine.sln

3) File / Save All (to export the .dsp's in the new format)

4) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/Common7/IDE"/devenv wine.sln "Win32 Debug" /Build

This created about 103 .obj's (for static libraries), plus
 dlls/*/Output/Win32_Debug/BuildLog.htm
indicating that it tried to run winebuild.exe.
Since this file doesn't exist, every .dll build failed.

devenv did eventually complete, though it seemed to be sitting doing nothing
for a couple minutes at the end.

Workaround: build winebuild.exe with mingw, then copy it down into an
Output/Win32_Debug directory.

See http://kegel.com/wine/wow.html for notes on how to do the mingw build.
