Attachments:	Additional headers to allow wine to build against w32api ebuild that applies the patches to dev-util/w32api

Description John Klehm 2007-06-13 08:15:46 UTC

This ebuild and patch set will allow one to make win32 versions of wines tests.  Without these patches applied the tests will not compile, throwing errors stating missing libraries.  This ebuild applies patches that will fill in the headers and fix those errors.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce the error that this ebuild and patchset fix:

1. Download the wine source code
$git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git
2. Setup the cross compile environment
#emerge crossdev
#crossdev i386-mingw32
3. build win32 versions of wines tests
$cd wine-git; ./configure; make crosstest
Actual Results:  
error: missing -lcabinet

Expected Results:  
Successful compilation

The patches were developed by Hans Leidekker and Stefan Leichter.  The source for them is http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/.  I have renamed some of them into a more epatch friendly form here: http://klehm.net

FYI make crosstest not work on amd64.  I have tested it on x86.
