Winelib - console app

Question

Im developing a console app that runs on Linux and calls a windows dll using Wine.

While I am able to call the dll I am getting some unexpected output when running the .exe console app.

For example:

err:ole:marshal_object couldn't get IPSFactory buffer for interface {00000131-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

It seems Wine is expecting the .exe to be a Gui app.

I use Cmake to compile. Here is my Cmake instructions:

# --- Script Setup

    )

# Library code.

add_subdirectory(config4cpp)

add_subdirectory(configure)

add_subdirectory(src)

I tried adding:

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /SUBSYSTEM:console")

and

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} --subsystem console")

But cmake didnt recognize these.

How can I tell Wine that it is a console app and that no GUI is required?

Answer 1

Well, if you are sure the problem is with the subsystem, then you can change it with

editbin.exe /subsystem:console app.exe

The editbin tool comes with MSVC. You can also edit the file in a hex editor, but first need to find out the offset of the subsystem field in it.
