You are going to have to investigate WineLib. You can't simply link Wine into
an existing unix executable, Because of some low level stuff Wine has to be
the main process.
Unfortunately, I cannot use Wine as a main process (did you mean the stuff
which is now made by preloader?). My project is a complex multi-threaded application,
and the DLL mentioned above is to be only the small part of it. If I had to use
this DLL in a simple application, I would certainly used Wine as the main process.
So, is it unreal to use windows DLL as a child instance? By any means?
Bye.
