Use Windows Dll from Linux Application

[Sebastien Degardin]

He everyone,

Does anybody know if it's possible to load and use a library compiled
on windows from a Linux application ?

We have a couple of a Dll files to use in our C++ linux application.

Ask in a linux group and possibly more precisely a wine group.

Try asking in the newsgroup:

comp.os.linux.development.system

Having said that, we do it all of the time...
On Windows we compile our source into a DLL, and
on unix/linux we compile our source into a '.so'.
Of course we're careful that our source doesn't
contain any platform-specific code (unless it's
inside '#ifdef' blocks).

Thank's for all.

Of course i can compile my source file to .so libraries to Linux.
But, for that, i need the source file .

If you build and install Wine, among other things you will get a program
named "winegcc". If you build your program with that compiler, it will be
able to dynamically link to Windows PE DLL files. For more details, see
http://www.winehq.org .

Well, if they are '3rd-party' DLL's, you're probably
out of luck. Who knows what other DLL's those might
depend on - it's like dominoes, one thing leads to another.
