 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
 .B winemaker
 is a perl script designed to help you bootstrap the
 process of converting your Windows sources to Winelib programs.
 .PP
 In order to do this winemaker can perform the following operations:
 .PP
 - rename your source files and directories to lowercase in the event they
 got all uppercased during the transfer.
 .PP
 - perform Dos to Unix (CRLF to LF) conversions.
 .PP
 - scan the include statements and resource file references to replace the
 backslashes with forward slashes.
 .PP
 - during the above step winemaker will also perform a case insensitive search
 of the referenced file in the include path and rewrite the include statement
 with the right case if necessary.
 .PP
 - winemaker will also check other more exotic issues like '#pragma pack'
 usage, use of "afxres.h" in non MFC projects, and more. Whenever it
 encounters something out of the ordinary, winemaker will warn you about it.
 .PP
 - winemaker can also scan a complete directory tree at once, guess what are
 the executables and libraries you are trying to build, match them with
 source files, and generate the corresponding Makefile.in files.
 .PP
 - finally winemaker will generate a global Makefile.in file calling out to all
 the others, and a configure script customized for use with Winelib.
 .PP
 - winemaker knows about MFC-based project and will generate customized files.
 .PP
 .SH OPTIONS
 .TP
 .I --nobanner
 Disables the printing of the banner.
 .TP
 .I --backup
 Directs winemaker to perform a backup of all the source files in which it
 makes changes. This is the default.
 .TP
 .I --nobackup
 Tells winemaker not to backup modified source files.
 .TP
 .I --lower-all
 Tells winemaker to rename all files and directories to lowercase.
 .TP
 .I --lower-uppercase
 Tells winemaker to only rename files and directories that have an all
 uppercase name.
 So "HELLO.C" would be renamed but not "World.c".
 .TP
 .I --lower-none
 Tells winemaker not to rename files and directories to lower case. Note
 that this does not prevent the renaming of a file if its extension cannot
 be handled as is, e.g. ".Cxx". This is the default.
 .TP
 .I "--lower-include "
 Tells winemaker that if it does not find the file corresponding to an
 include statement (or other form of file reference for resource files),
 then it should convert that filename to lowercase. This is the default.
 .TP
 .I "--nolower-include "
 Tells winemaker not to modify the include statement if it cannot find the
 referenced file.
 .TP
 .IR "--guiexe " "| " "--windows"
 Specifies that whenever winemaker finds an executable target, or a target of
 unknown type, it should assume that it is a graphical application.
 This is the default.
 .TP
 .IR "--cuiexe " "| " "--console"
 Specifies that whenever winemaker finds an executable target, or a target of
 unknown type, it should assume that it is a console application.
 .TP
 .I --dll
 This option tells winemaker that whenever it finds a target of unknown type,
 i.e. for which it does not know whether it is an executable or a library,
 it should assume it is a library.
 .TP
 .I --wrap
 Specifies that executable targets should be built as libraries and a small
 executable wrapper generated for them. This technique is sometimes required
 to solve initialization problems occuring on the application startup.
 .TP
 .I --nowrap
 Specifies that no wrapper should be generated for executable targets. This is
 the default.
 .TP
 .I --mfc
 Specifies that the targets are MFC based. In such a case winemaker generates a
 configure script with MFC specific options, modifies the include and
 library paths accordingly, links the target with the MFC library and
 generates wrappers for these targets that are executables.
 .TP
 .I --nomfc
 Specifies that targets are not MFC-based. This is the default.
 .TP
 .I -Dmacro[=defn]
 Adds the specified macro definition to the global list of macro definitions.
 .TP
 .I -Idir
 Appends the specified directory to the global include path.
 .TP
 .I -Ldir
 Appends the specified directory to the global library path.
 .TP
 .I -idll
 Adds the Winelib library to the global list of Winelib libraries to import
 in the spec file.
 .TP
 .I -llibrary
 Adds the specified library to the global list of libraries to link with.
 .TP
 .I --interactive
 Puts winemaker in interactive mode. In this mode winemaker will ask you to
 confirm each directory's list of targets, and then to provide directory and
 target specific options.
 .TP
 .I --single-target name
 Specifies that there is only one target, and that it is called "name".
 .TP
 .I --generated-files
 Tells winemaker to generate the build infrastructure files, i.e. the spec
 files, the wrapper files, the Makefile.in files, the Make.rules.in file, the
 configure.in file and the configure script. This is the default.
 .TP
 .I --nogenerated-files
 Tells winemaker not to generate any of the above files.

 .SH EXAMPLES
 .PP
 Here is a typical winemaker use:
 .PP
 $ winemaker --lower-uppercase -DSTRICT
 .PP
 The above tells winemaker to scan the current directory and its
 subdirectories for source files. Whenever if finds a file or directory which
 name is all uppercase, it should rename it to lowercase. It should then fix
 all these source files for compilation with Winelib and generate Makefiles.
 The '-DSTRICT' specifies that the STRICT macro must be set when compiling
 these sources. Finally winemaker will create a global Makefile.in and
 configure.in, and run autoconf to generate the configure script.
 .PP
 The next step would be:
 .PP
 $ ./configure --with-wine=/usr/local/opt/wine
 .PP
 This generates the makefiles from the Makefile.in files. The generated
 makefiles will fetch the Winelib headers and libraries from the Wine
 installation located in /usr/local/opt/wine.
 .PP
 And finally:
 .PP
 $ make
 .PP
 If at this point you get compilation errors (which is quite likely for a
 reasonably sized project) then you should consult the Winelib User Guide to
 find tips on how to resolve them.
 .PP
 For an MFC-based project one would have run the following commands instead:
 .PP
 $ winemaker --lower-uppercase --mfc
 .br
 $ ./configure --with-wine=/usr/local/opt/wine \\
 .br
               --with-mfc=/usr/local/opt/mfc
 .br
 $ make
 .PP

 .SH TODO / BUGS
 .PP
 Winemaker should support the Visual Studio project files (.dsp for newer
 versions and .mak for some older versions). This would allow it to be much
 more accurate, especially for the macro, include and library path
 settings.
 .PP
 Assuming that the windows executable/library is available, we could
 use a pedump-like tool to determine what kind of executable it is (graphical
 or console), which libraries it is linked with, and which functions it
 exports (for libraries). We could then restore all these settings for the
 corresponding Winelib target. The problem is that we should have such a tool
 available under the Wine license first.
 .PP
 The wrapper code should be generic, i.e. you should be able to have just one
 wrapper and specify which library to load using an option.
 .PP
 Furthermore it is not very good at finding the library containing the
 executable: it must either be in the current directory or in the
 .IR LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
 .PP
 Winemaker does not support message files and the message compiler yet.
