Shouldn't need to do anything particularly special. Just make sure you're using
a resonable enough compiler and compile the Winelib application with the
-DICOM_USE_COM_INTERFACE_ATTRIBUTE . Have a look at
wine/include/wine/obj_base.h at the top comments for a little more information.
Otherwise, yes, you will need to do things a little differently.

Ciao,
