[MinGW-dvlpr] RE: WINE with MFC and C++ DLLs (Was: Info on porting Wine dlls and programs to Mingw)

[Steven E. <Ste...@ya...>]

MFC can and has been built with Wine although M$ licensing regarding MFC
on non-windows platforms is confusing as it has been changes a few
times. I think VS6 Before SP3 is OK.

Also you guys might be insterested in the winemaker.pl script. It
converts VS makefiles to UNIX makefiles and can configure your win32
application to be built with winelib+MFC. I may look at adapting it to
Mingw as part of the port

Thanks
Steven

the actual explanation is missing.

Has this ever been done before, or is there strong evidence that it will

be possible in a near future?
