Could you please elaborate on what kind of problems you have when trying 
to use the Windows version of your library under Wine? Is there any 
particular reason you do not want to build a pure Linux application that 
links in the Linux library, therefore bypassing Wine entirely?

Your explanation sounds as if you do not have access to the source code 
of the library, and you are therefore trying to use libraryfile.a to 
link into a Wine .so file. Is this correct? If so, is the Windows 
version of the library a .lib file, or a .dll file? Am I right to guess 
your Linux version of the library resides in a .a file, not a .so file ?


If your library is really a .lib file, then what happens if you build 
(under Windows) a .dll file which links in your .lib file, and then 
build a test program that exercises the newly created .dll file? Does it 
work correctly in Windows? Just to check, your library might not support 
being loaded as dynamic code.
