Help needed to build & run a VC++ program in Linux

[saravanan]

Hi, I want to know how i can a compile & port a simple VC++ application to linux using wine. I tried to compile a  VC++ application using the winelib method. But it showed a lot of errors. Does anyone have any idea.

I had tried all options.  I had done follwing things 
1) I created a simple VC++ application. Just to display a msg on
clicking a button.
2) I copied it to Linux' home directory
3) I  executed following commands
  a)winemaker --lower-uppercase .
    (later i tried the follwing command also.
    winemaker --lower-uppercase --console  -I/usr/include/include/wine -L/usr/include/include/wine .)

///To the /usr/include/include directory i copied all the original MFC files from V.Studio.
  b) ./configure --with-wine-includes=/usr/include/include

now it showed the error
-->  checking for -lmfc... configure: error: Could not find the MFC
library

I couldn't able to correcet it. Where i can get the original -lmfc (libmfc) file, there is no such file present in the system.

c)Finally I myself created a fake libmfc.so file and placed it in the /usr/include/include directory.  But when i  "make" it  showed a lot of errors . Some are given below .
                       ----------

  Later I run the command winemaker --lower-uppercase . in the
/usr/include/include directory and converted entire contents.
after that when i make the vc++ application again it showed some
different errors.
                                              --------

                       ----------------

I think the problem might be with -lmfc. Please kindly help me to
come out of these errors.

Your best bet is to first try to port it to MinGW. Once that's done,
use winegcc to port it to Wine.

That's not the issue.

Actually the first thing you need to do is to compile the MFC with
Winelib. It's not going to compile out of the box however. You will need
to patch the MFC a bit to get them to compile and produce a Winelib dll.

Then you can try to compile your Windows application.
