| .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 it from renaming 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 "--no-lower-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 -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 --no-generated-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-winelib-root=/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 quite likely for a |
| reasonable sized project) then you should consult the WineLib User Guide to |
| find tips about 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-winelib-root=/usr/local/opt/wine \\ |
| .br |
| --with-mfc-root=/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 path and library path |
| settings. |
| .PP |
| Assuming that we have the windows executable/library 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 |
| The current way we link with libraries is not very good: with link, in the |
| Unix sense, with all of them, and with none in the WineLib sense. But we |
| lack a good means of detecting which libraries we should link with. |
| Furthermore this area will change significantly when winebuild make sit |
| possible to really link in the WineLib sense (i.e. via the spec file). |
| .PP |
| Work remains to be done on the configure script. Especially in the area of |
| detecting headers and libraries that are already in the include/library path. |
| .PP |
| Winemaker does not support message files and the message compiler yet. |
