How do you go about crosscompiling the tests?
I have managed to do "hello world" style programs with cross-mingw,
but to compile the Wine tests I don't know how to do...

When I try to compile a slightly modified
dlls/kernel/tests/file.c 

I get this:

jakov at black:/tmp> 
jakov at black:/tmp> i586-mingw32msvc-gcc file.c 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32msvc/2.95.3-7/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8f): undefined reference to `WinMain at 16'


I assume there is something evil about the 16 bit API file.c is testing. *shrug*



(I guess somewhere in here the project of keeping mingw, ReactOS and
Wine headers in sync come into play... BTW I've noticed the ReactOS people
seem to feel a little ignored by Wine.)
