Using DirectX headers from Wine to compile under MingW

I have been attempting to build HLSL shader support into VLC player. I have hit a brick wall due to lack of utility methods in d3d9.h in MingW to load a .fx file and compile the shader.

Are there any way to link my program with Wine-compiled part?

I am trying to use windows dll functionality in Linux. My current solution is a compilation of a separate wine application, that uses dll and transfer requests/responses between dll and main application over IPC.

Using Winelib to port a Windows-only GUI toolkit

I love just about everything about the DFL GUI toolkit for D except that it only works on Windows because it's basically a pretty, high-level wrapper around the Windows API. How hard would it likely be to simply port such a toolkit to Linux (I don't really care about any other OS besides Windows and Linux) using Winelib? What are the o...

Using nmake on OSX?

I'm porting an application to MacOS X - but the original developer's build system uses NMAKE, and ideally they'd like to keep it instead of switching to a new one. I've managed to get NMAKE running under OSX using wine (built using MacPorts) and added Objective C support to the build files, and created a Unix-linked PE wrapper 'run.exe'...

I am building an application that will run on Linux under Wine, and I'd like to add a few files to the default windows image that is created in ~/.wine when a user starts wine for the first time - kind of like /etc/skel that's used to create new users.
