Wine on Windows

[Steven Edwards]

Yes with Mingw and now cygwin you can compile and link most dlls. The Cygwin patch is still out in
limbo untill I can retest it and Alexandre does his think with libwine. ATM setupapi.dll wont
build under Mingw or Cygwin with that patch. I have tested riched32 and shlwapi compiled from
Mingw under Windows. Shlwapi works well but our riched32 is just a forward to the edit control in
user32 I think. comctl32 and comdgl32 also build but there are stills some fixes needed for
shell32. comctl32 should work although I would not use it under Win2K or XP. It might work under
9x.

Its going to be a while still before WINE is ready to replace the Windows dlls or be usable in
ReactOS. For the most part that is the ReactOS developers fault as I was expecting more help from
them porting this stuff.

Thanks
Steven
