Things to disable,
why we have to disable them (lack of Wine support),
where things don't compile,
why,
how to solve it,
what to put in the Makefile,
maybe try to point to a place with a ready-made makefile...
Here is a set of recommendations for getting the MFC compiled with
WineLib:
</para>
<para>
We recommend running winemaker in
'<option>--interactive</option>' mode to specify the right
options for the MFC and the ATL part (to get the include paths
right, to not consider the MFC MFC-based, and to get it to
build libraries, not executables).
</para>
<para>
Then when compiling it you will indeed need a number of
<literal>_AFX_NO_XXX</literal> macros. But this is not enough
and there are other things you will need to
'<literal>#ifdef</literal>-out'. For instance Wine's richedit
support is not very good. Here are the AFX options I use:
</para>
<para>
<programlisting>
#define _AFX_PORTABLE
#define _FORCENAMELESSUNION
#define _AFX_NO_DAO_SUPPORT
#define _AFX_NO_DHTML_SUPPORT
#define _AFX_NO_OLEDB_SUPPORT
#define _AFX_NO_RICHEDIT_SUPPORT
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
You will also need custom ones for
<function>CMonikerFile</function>, <function>OleDB</function>,
<function>HtmlView</function>, ...
</para>
<para>
We recommend using Wine's msvcrt headers (<literal>-isystem
$(WINE_INCLUDE_ROOT)/msvcrt</literal>), though it means you
will have to temporarily disable winsock support
(<literal>#ifdef</literal> it out in
<filename>windows.h</filename>).
</para>
<para>
You should use g++ compiler more recent than g++ 2.95. g++
2.95 does not support unnamed structs while the more recent
ones do, and this helps a lot. Here are the options worth
mentioning:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>-fms-extensions</literal> (helps get more code
to compile)
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>-fshort-wchar -DWINE_UNICODE_NATIVE</literal>
(helps with Unicode support)
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>-DICOM_USE_COM_INTERFACE_ATTRIBUTE</literal>
(to get the COM code to work)
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
When you first reach the link stage you will get a lot of
undefined symbol errors. To fix these you will need to go back
to the source and <literal>#ifdef</literal>-out more code
until you reach a 'closure'. There are also some files that
don't need to be compiled.
</para>
<para>
Maybe we will have ready-made makefile here someday...
</para>
