WineLib build instructions

WineLib build issues/resolution :-

(a) A very first error you can face is
Undefined first referenced symbol in file

GetStartupInfoA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)
GetModuleHandleA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)
GetCommandLineA ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)
WinMain ../../dlls/libwinecrt0.a(exe_main.o)

ld: warning: Symbol referencing errors

The above error and lots lots of other errors can be definitely removed by applying the wine patches (specifically 20051015) available at http://blastwave.org/wine . For x86 this patchkit is sufficient. And for sparc too, it'll resolve lots of issues. So, make sure you implement the complete changes.

(b) Errors while building on sparc :-

“activeds.AtyNYe.s: Assembler messages:

activeds.AtyNYe.s:171: Error: operation combines symbols in different segments
activeds.AtyNYe.s:172: Error: operation combines symbols in different segments”

This will go away by applying patch for "wine/tools/winebuild/import.c" as available at,
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-December/043614.html

(c) Make sure that you have xorg mesa packages installed.
