WINEGCC(1)		    Wine Developers Manual		    WINEGCC(1)

NAME
       winegcc - Wine C and C++ MinGW Compatible Compiler

SYNOPSIS
       winegcc [options] infile...

DESCRIPTION
       winegcc is a gcc wrapper which tries to provide a MinGW compatible com‐
       piler under Linux. This is most useful to Win32 developers who can sim‐
       ply  take their MinGW code from Windows, and recompile it without modi‐
       fications under Winelib on Linux.   wineg++  accepts  mostly  the  same
       options as winegcc.

       The  goal  of  winegcc  is to be able to simply replace gcc/g++/windres
       with winegcc/wineg++/wrc in a MinGW Makefile, and  just	recompile  the
       application  using  Winelib under Wine. While typically there are small
       adjustments that must be made to the  application  source  code	and/or
       Makefile,  it  is quite easy to do them in a fashion that is compatible
       between the MinGW and Wine environments.

       This manual will document only the differences from gcc; please consult
       the gcc manual for more information on those options.

OPTIONS
       gcc options: All gcc options are supported, and are passed along to the
       backend compiler.

       -Bprefix
	      This option specifies where to find the executables,  libraries,
	      include  files, and data files of the compiler itself. This is a
	      standard gcc option that has been extended to recognize a prefix
	      ending  with  '/tools/winebuild', in which case winegcc enters a
	      special mode for building Wine itself. Developers	 should	 avoid
	      prefixes	ending with the magic suffix, or if that is not possi‐
	      ble, simply express it differently, such as '/tools/winebuild/',
	      to avoid the special behaviour.

       -fno-short-wchar
	      Override	the  underlying type for wchar_t to be the default for
	      the target, instead of using short unsigned int,	which  is  the
	      default for Win32.

       -mconsole
	      This  option passes '--subsystem console' to winebuild, to build
	      console applications. It is the default.

       -mno-cygwin
	      Use Wine's implementation of MSVCRT, instead of linking  against
	      the  host system's libc. This is necessary for the vast majority
	      of Win32 applications, as they typically depend on various  fea‐
	      tures  of MSVCRT. This switch is also used by the MinGW compiler
	      to link against MSVCRT on Windows, instead  of  linking  against
	      Cygwin's	libc. Sharing the syntax with MinGW makes it very easy
	      to  write	 Makefiles  that  work	under  Wine,  MinGW+MSYS,   or
	      MinGW+Cygwin.

       -municode
	      Set the default entry point of the application to be the Unicode
	      wmain() instead of the standard main().

       -mwindows
	      This option adds -lgdi32, -lcomdlg32, and -lshell32 to the  list
	      of default libraries, and passes '--subsystem windows' to wineb‐
	      uild to build graphical applications.

       -nodefaultlibs
	      Do not use the standard system  libraries	 when  linking.	 These
	      include  at  a minimum -lkernel32, -luser32, -ladvapi32, and any
	      default libraries used by the backend  compiler.	The  -mwindows
	      option  augments	the  list  of  default	libraries as described
	      above.

       -nostartfiles
	      Do not add the winecrt0 library when linking.

       -Wb,option
	      Pass option as an option to winebuild.  If option contains  com‐
	      mas, it is split into multiple options at the commas.

DEFINES
       winegcc	defines __WINE__, for code that needs to know when it is being
       compiled under Wine. It also defines WIN32, _WIN32, __WIN32, __WIN32__,
       __WINNT, and __WINNT__ for compatibility with MinGW.

BUGS
       The dllimport/dllexport attributes are not supported at the moment, due
       to lack of support for these features in the ELF version of gcc.

       Static linking is not currently supported  against  Wine's  DLL.	 As  a
       result, the -static, --static, and -Wl,-static options will generate an
       error.
