Linux, Wine, MFC, Win32 API
for the trading application I'm developing, I was thinking that I'd only be able to run
it on a Windows machine due to the fact that a couple of vendor supplied libraries are only
supplied as Microsoft Windows .dll's and MFC C++ libraries. Perhaps such is not the case
any more.
For whatever reason, I recalled that Wine is a "compatibility layer for running Windows programs". They say
they can handle WinSock32 calls, which is probably one of the primary hard things to do.
So I'm hoping I can take the supplied vendor .dlls, my MFC .dlls, and load them into the
wine layer, and they'll run. As a result, I can make further use of some of my remotely
hosted Linux servers for hosting my trading platform, without resorting to installing either
VMWare editions or real Windows platforms.
While on the subject of MFC and such, I want to record a few Win32 API/MFC sites that
will help in some of the code development:
