Do's & Don'ts when creating a Win app to be wine compatible ?

[Andreas Koch]

Hi,

i am in the process of prototyping a small (inter-)network
game client that is intented to run on windows.

I don't have the time nor desire to create a
dedicated linux port of it, but as some users may
want to use it on linux, i'd like to know what
points could be important to make a win app run
as smoothly on wine as possible with little extra
effort.

Development system will be Delphi (no Kylix port - yet),
and graphics either GUI or windowed DirectDraw, perhaps
Direct3D... TCP/IP network access... probably a bit
background MIDI playback.

Suggestions? Hints?

LINUX users tune their system for stability
WIN users tune their system for fast booting
What you prefer is just a matter of taste.
