Title: Fred2Open winelib?
Post by: Amon_Re on September 23, 2003, 03:46:46 pm

I was wondering if it were possible to port Fred2Open to linux by using winelib?
I know this isn't a "clean" way of doing it, but it might be possible, however, i'm unfamiliar with both VC & winelib, so if some uber coder has any idea's i'd like to hear them ;)

The only thing i see as a hurdle at this moment might be VC+ > GCC...

Cheers

OK, forget  libwine for now :(

The problem (the MFC's) remains there, one possibility would be to grab the MFC sources & to compile that under wine wich i heard *is* possible, but  licences conflict, so we're still stuck there.

I'll see what i can dig up...

Cheers

Yeah, but why would you want to? Rewrite Fred2Open using GTK or Qt. :D

Well, My knowledge of C++ is fairly limited, but i am considering using this as an excuse, err, exercise to get back into coding ;)

Already installed the qt headerfiles btw ;)
