Using Windows .DLLs in Linux C++ code - possible?

2005-11-18 Thread Jim Morash
Is it possible, via Wine, to link against a Windows DLL in a C++ program compiled under Linux? My specific situation: I would like to interface a piece of hardware over a serial port. The manufacturer refuses to provide a serial comms specification for the device because it's proprietary, but

Re: wine command is not working in crontab

2005-11-18 Thread Paul Millar
Hi Charles, OK, so what I suspect is happening is crontab has no DISPLAY variable set, so wine is defaulting to using the ttydriver. Unfortunately, crontab environment isn't attached to any tty, so that fails too with the error message you see. What you really want is the nulldriver (which I

Hi Jim, You might actually do best turning the problem upside down. That is, it's quite easy to write a .exe or winelib application that links to a Windows DLL and connects to a Linux binary or library. It's hard to call Wine as a library, because Wine has to have quite a lot initialized
