Can I launch a Windows program from a unix program?
« on: January 06, 2008, 09:17:01 pm »
In Kylix, i successful compiled "Windows.pas" from Delphi source, but when i compiled a project, such project looks for Kernel.dll and user32.dll. Of course i couldn't call this libraries in Linux OS.
BUT, i thought in an craze idea - the question is:

If my application would call this libraries using WINE.
It's possible call this libraries from a unix program without specifically calling wine?

In Wine documentation says: "you also can launch an windows program from a unix program."

Glad you could help

Unfortunately it is not possible. I asked in Wine developers forum and they said in a short answer NO.
Becasue in wine, first of all a kinda "Wineserver" must be launch first than user code.
Thanks.
