Well, tell that to wine. 8^)


This was a hard call to do. Knowing this team.

Wine is moving away from porting as I can see it. I've written about how
wine has cross linked third and forth level dlls (apps level). We can not
port w/o having to include some of their weird programming stuff (put nicely).
I've tried wines windows builds and w/o some of their dlls you can not use
them at all. You have to bypass ROS Second level dlls with wines. When you
try it, it doesn't work.


So, it would not hurt to use bison with their code.


Snd Point,
We started this when,,,, 1999 and now soon to be 2005. I'm to old to wait for
wine to change, so far their not trying very hard.
