Has anyone successfully built Wine on Cygwin? Before
you laugh out loud and send nasty flames, please read
the whole message. Thanks.
Cygwin recently added Xfree86 4.0 X server capability
for Win NT/9x which appeared to be the final component
needed for a Wine port. It has gcc and appears to
have most if not all the tools needed to do a Wine
build.
I downloaded the Wine-20001026 source and attempted to
build Wine from source. Following the "quick start"
instructions resulted in the following error messages
from ./tools/wineinstall see attachment
I know already that Cygwin is not listed as one of the
supported platforms (as stated in the README) but it
seems to me that Wine under Cygwin would be an ideal
test environment since it runs under Win NT/9x
directly alongside the app under test. It could be at
least a free alternative to running Wine on
Linux/*BSD/Solaris with Win NT/9x in VMware assuming
Win NT/9x is already a sunk cost on most machines.
I tried to search the wine-devel email archives on
this subject to no avail. Is the wine-devel archive
search engine actually working? I cannot get it to do
anything except generate error messages.
