Creating a wine static executable?

Hi,

I have some windows command line applications, in binary form (I do not have the source code) which I use frequently. Sometimes I need to run them in Linux machines, and it works perfectly under wine (wine is not an emulator). The problem I'm facing now is that I need to work on a cluster which has not wine installed on it. I wonder if it is possible to create in another similar linux machine kind of a static executable or so, so i can run this windows program on the cluster

Thanks

This is an insane idea ;) Install wine on that cluster. What stops you? If you can execute programs there....

If this is some kind of serious software, it don't recommend to run it on non-native OS. Wine is not developed for running critical applications. It is still not Windows.

I just will try to install wine from source codethis is kind of a old fortran 77 code application which runs fine under wine

Don't install wine from sources. Install from rpm or deb. It is much easier. If this is a simple app, then why to run it on a cluster? BTW, what do you mean under "cluster"? I thought, cluster is a several PCs, working together on some task.

There are perfectly reasonable conditions under which users don't get root access, and can't install software. Clearly large academic or commercial clusters are one of them.

in plain words.. no source.. no compilation.. no binary.. :)

no, really sorry, ...... probably you should ask at the WINE forums, and then tell me :)
