You can actually run the executables under wine directly. In fact you
just run them. Assuming you've set up the ~/.wine/config file so that
paths to any non-standard DLLs can be found, then ./virsh.exe does the
right thing.
Yeah. I'm just wondering if widespread use of that would be a desirable
or undesirable outcome. Here's a hypothetical:
Let's say that Google opensources Picasa. Do we want to build and run
that Windows app under wine using a cross compiler or do we want to
wait/start a project to port the program to native Linux APIs? I can
see benefits to both sides.
Setting up DLL paths correctly when mingw-runtime is installed was
one
thing I was going to look at.
Cool.
