I have not been successful with this. If you want to try, get the automated MinGW installer from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20100909/mingw-get-inst-20100909.exe/download Sourceforge]. Choose the pre-packaged lists, and then run <code>mingw-get update; mingw-get install msys-base mingw32-base</code>, which should update libtool to version 2.4

It seems that an Openoffice extension for Windows must be compiled with MSVC to be compatible. Here is a way to do this from within Ubuntu. Make sure you have mingw32 and wine installed. Then, get Microsoft Visual (Express) C++ 2010 to work under wine. Installing with vcsetup.exe, or installing Visual Studio  is pretty hopeless and an overkill anyway. Instead, try this hack:
It seems that an Office extension for Windows must be compiled with MSVC to be compatible. Here is a way to do this from within Ubuntu. Make sure you have a recent wine installed. By default this will be a 64 bit version. If you need a 32-bit wine, use <code>winearch='win32' winecfg</code>.


* Get a working installation under Windows (the express version is available for free, and works fine)
==== Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 (64 bit compiler, outputting 32 bit or 64 bit code) ====
* After booting into Ubuntu, copy cl.exe, c1xx.dll, c1.dll, c2.dll, lib.exe, link.exe, mspdb100.dll from the Windows Visual Express installation to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ or some other location in your PATH
* Get a working Visual Studio installation under Windows (the community version is available for free, and works fine)
* Copy mt.exe from a Windows SDK installation to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ or some other location in your PATH
* Set up the following file structure in your <code>.wine/drive_c</code> directory (for 32 bit wine, change <code>Hostx64</code> to <code>Hostx86</code> in the first two lines).
* Get winetricks
  vc/bin/x64 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\bin\Hostx64\x64
* Run winetricks vcrun2010. This will override msvcr100.dll with a Windows native version in the wine configuration

wine cl, wine link and wine lib should now work from a (Unix) terminal
<code>wine cl</code>, <code>wine link</code> and <code>wine lib</code> should now work.


Install the required libraries and include files somewhere (is there a better/standard location?)
==== Debug build ====
mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/vc
cp -aR /c/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/VC/lib/ ~/.wine/drive_c/vc
cp -aR /c/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio 9/VC/include/ ~/.wine/drive_c/vc
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/vc/include
cp time.h sys
mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/sdk
cp -aR /c/Programme/Microsoft\ SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Lib/ ~/.wine/drive_c/sdk
cp -aR /c-ro/Programme/Microsoft\ SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Include/ ~/.wine/drive_c/sdk


Libtool version 2.4 claims to be able to deal with MSVC so use that version if you can.
* To get a debug build, use the flags <code>-MDd -D_DEBUG</code> for libraries
* You will need to copy the debug versions of the standard libraries into the paths


=== Compiling CLN ===
=== Compiling CLN ===


CLN still needs a lot of fixes to compile with MSVC.
You must use a recent [https://www.ginac.de/CLN/ CLN] (>1.3.6)
 
* Run <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" CCAS="wine cl" LD="wine link" MANIFEST_TOOL="wine mt" LIB="C:/vc/lib;C:/sdk/lib" CPPFLAGS="-DNO_ASM -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/sdk/include" --host=i586-mingw32msvc</code>
* Edit libtool and find the two lines containing <code>-OUT</code>. Replace <code>lib</code> with <code>wine lib</code>
* Run make LIB="C:/vc/lib;C:/sdk/lib"
* make will stop and complain about missing files cl_asm.obj and cl_asm_GF2.obj
** change to the src subdirectory
** Remove cl_asm.lo and cl_asm_GF2.lo
** Edit the Makefile and find the lines starting with <code>cl_asm.lo:</code> and <code>cl_asm_GF2.lo:</code>. Remove the comment from the first line below them
** Change cl_asm.S and cl_asm_GF2.S to cl_asm_.cc and cl_asm_GF2.cc in the first lines and in the lines you just uncommented (because MSVC doesn't recognize the .S extension). Total of five changes for each.
** run make cl_asm.lo and make cl_asm_GF2.lo. This should create cl_asm.obj and cl_asm_GF2.obj
 
=== Compiling GiNaC ===


Copy libcln.lib into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/lib and the CLN headers into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/include/cln
If the linker reports undefined symbols, try to remove the inlined methods <code>cl_string::cl_string (const char * s)</code> and <code>cl_string& cl_string::operator= (const char * s)</code> from <code>include/cln/string.h</code> and instead defining them in <code>src/base/string/cl_st_make2.cc</code>. The extern definitions can be removed from these two methods.


Get the source code from [http://github.com/AlexeiSheplyakov/GiNaC/tree/master.msvc.support GiNaC MSVC support branch] using the download button on the web page.
If compilation fails on the two assembler files, remove the following lines from <code>src/Makefile.am</code>:
  nodist_libcln_la_SOURCES = \
  base/digitseq/cl_asm.S \
  polynomial/elem/cl_asm_GF2.S


You can now run <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIBTOOL=/usr/local/bin/libtool CPPFLAGS="-DEBUG -MD -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/sdk/Include -IC:/local/include" LIB="C:/vc/lib;C:/sdk/lib;C:/local/lib" --host=i586-mingw32msvc</code> (assuming that you are using the libtool installed into /usr/local). There are still a lot of libtool issues, though, which need to be hacked by editing libtool:
==== Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 ====


* The line starting with <code>old_archive_cmds</code> must read <code>"wine lib -OUT:\$oldlib\$oldobjs\$old_deplibs"</code>. Note that this line occurs twice in the file!
* Run <code>autoreconf -i</code>
* The line starting with LTCFLAGS must read <code>LTCFLAGS="-g -IC:/vc/VC/include -IC:/cl/SDK/Include"</code>
* Configure the build
* Find the line containing <code>$cwrapper $cwrappersource</code> and add <code>C:/cl/VC/lib/libcmt.lib C:/cl/VC/lib/oldnames.lib C:/cl/SDK/lib/Kernel32.lib</code> to the end of it
** 64 bit build: <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" CCAS="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" CPPFLAGS="-MD -DNO_ASM -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/vc/sdk/include/shared" --host=amd64-mingw64msvc</code>
* In the check (and other subdirectories), when linking fails edit the Makefile and add the following to the command starting with CXXLINK: <code>C:/vc/lib/msvcrt.lib C:/vc/lib/msvcprt.lib C:/vc/lib/oldnames.lib C:/sdk/lib/Kernel32.lib C:/sdk/lib/Uuid.lib C:/local/lib/libcln.lib</code>
** 32 bit build: <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" CCAS="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" CPPFLAGS="-MD -DNO_ASM -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/vc/sdk/include/shared" --host=i586-mingw32msvc</code>
* After compilation, the wrapper created in the source directory does not work, but the .exe created in .libs does. Do <code>cp .libs/* .</code> before running <code>make check</code> again.
* Edit libtool and find the two lines containing <code>-OUT</code>. Replace <code>lib</code> with <code>wine lib</code>
* Make one of these changes (depending on what source version you have only one is possible)
** Edit the src/Makefile and find the line starting with <code>.S.lo</code> and add the switch <code>-TC</code> before <code>-c -o</code>
** Remove the definition of <code>nodist_libcln_la_SOURCES</code> from src/Makefile.am (total three lines) and re-run configure
* Build
** 64 bit build: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64"</code>
** 32 bit build: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86"</code>
* Check
** 64 bit build: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" check</code>
** 32 bit build: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" check</code>
* All tests should pass successfully (note that on a 64-bit wine, the 32-bit tests will not execute). If they do not, you might need to install the package wine-binfmt


After hacking away the libtool problems, GiNaC compiles and all 58 tests pass successfully.
=== Compiling GiNaC ===


=== Compiling EQC ===
For a 64 bit build, you need a recent version of [https://www.ginac.de GiNaC] (>1.7.8).


Copy libginac.lib into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/lib and the GiNaC headers into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/include/ginac
If compilation fails with reference to a missing C++20 compiler, edit the <code>configure.ac</code> and change the compiler prerequisite <code>AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX</code> to version 20.


* Before starting, be sure to run <code>make distclean</code> and also remove the ccache line in src/Makefile.am (if you want to use ccache then add it to the configure invocation, e.g. <code>CC="ccache wine cl"</code>)
==== Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 ====
* Run <code>env LIBTOOLIZE=/usr/local/bin/libtoolize autoreconf -i</code> and <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIB="C:/vc/lib;c:/sdk/lib" CPPFLAGS="-DEBUG -MD -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/sdk/include -IC:/local/include" --host=i586-mingw32msvc</code>.
* To get EQC to link successfully, you need to edit the src/Makefile and add the following to the command starting with CXXLINK <code>C:/vc/lib/msvcrt.lib C:/vc/lib/msvcprt.lib C:/vc/lib/oldnames.lib C:/sdk/lib/Kernel32.lib C:/sdk/lib/Uuid.lib C:/local/lib/libcln.lib C:/local/lib/libginac.lib</code>.
* If the Makefile has no such line, edit libeqc.la instead and change the line reading <code>dependency_libs</code> to have these libraries (instead of the ones listed).
* Run make
* If you get an error <code>lib: command not found</code>, find two lines with <code>...lib -OUT...</code> in libtool and change them to <code>...wine lib -OUT...</code>


=== Preparing the OOo SDK ===
* Copy src/.libs/libcln.lib into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/lib/x64 (or x86) and the CLN headers in the include directory into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/include/x64/cln (or x86/cln)
* Get a recent GiNaC (>= 1.8.2)
* Run <code>autoreconf -i</code> in the source directory
* Configure
** 64 bit: <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" CLN_CFLAGS=-IC:/local/include/x64 CLN_LIBS=C:/local/lib/x64/libcln.lib LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" CPPFLAGS="-MD -EHsc -Zc:__cplusplus -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/local/include" --disable-shared --enable-static --host=amd64-mingw64msvc</code>
** 32 bit: <code>./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" CLN_CFLAGS=-IC:/local/include/x86 CLN_LIBS=C:/local/lib/x86/libcln.lib LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" CPPFLAGS="-MD -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/local/include" --disable-shared --enable-static --host=i586-mingw32msvc</code>
* Edit the libtool created by configure:
** The line starting with <code>old_archive_cmds</code> must read <code>"wine lib -OUT:\$oldlib\$oldobjs\$old_deplibs"</code>. Note that this line occurs twice in the file!
* Build
** 64 bit: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64"</code>
** 32 bit: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86"</code>
* On Windows compilation will fail in the ginsh subdirectory. Simply cd to this directory and run <code>make -t</code> (since we won't be needing ginsh)
* Change to the toplevel directory again and finish the build with the same make command as before
* Check
** 64 bit: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" check</code>
** 32 bit: <code>make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" check</code>
* All tests should pass successfully (note that on 64 bit wine the 32 bit tests will not execute)


* Install Openoffice.org and the Openoffice SDK into wine using the standard Windows installation files. Try to run ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OpenOffice.org 3/program/soffice.exe, if this doesn't start (cannot determine user interface language), then install it into a clean wine.
=== Preparing the Office SDK ===
* In the SDK base directory (e.g. ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/OpenOffice.org 3/Basis/sdk), put a file config.guess<code>echo wine; exit 0</code> and make it executable.
* Edit settings/settings.mk and add a section for wine:


###########################################################################
* Install Office and the Office SDK into wine using the standard Windows installation files. Try to run ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/<YOUR_OFFICE>/program/soffice.exe, if this doesn't start, then install it into a clean wine.
#
* Remember to install 64-bit versions of the Office and SDK if you set up a 64-bit Visual C++ environment
# Wine specific settings
* In the SDK base directory (e.g. ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/<YOUR_OFFICE>/sdk), edit settings/dk.mk and change the platform <code>PLATFORM=wine</code> (for Apache OpenOffice, create a file called config.guess in the sdk subdirectory with contents <code>echo wine; exit 0</code>)
#
* Edit settings/settings.mk and add a section for wine. The iMath source subdirectory src/wine-sdk-config contains a sample that works for me, but keep in mind that the settings.mk file varies between SDK versions.
###########################################################################
* Go to sdk/bin and create an executable called cppumaker with content <code>wine "$OO_SDK_HOME/bin/cppumaker.exe" "$@"</code>
ifeq "$(PLATFORM)" "wine"
* Install the Office DLLs where wine can find them (e.g. symlink into the sdk/bin directory) but not into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32, because this will confuse the office. This is required for cppumaker.exe to run

Ubuntu, wine and Microsoft Visual C++

General setup

It seems that an Office extension for Windows must be compiled with MSVC to be compatible. Here is a way to do this from within Ubuntu. Make sure you have a recent wine installed. By default this will be a 64 bit version. If you need a 32-bit wine, use winearch='win32' winecfg.

Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 (64 bit compiler, outputting 32 bit or 64 bit code)

  • Get a working Visual Studio installation under Windows (the community version is available for free, and works fine)
  • Set up the following file structure in your .wine/drive_c directory (for 32 bit wine, change Hostx64 to Hostx86 in the first two lines).
 vc/bin/x64 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\bin\Hostx64\x64
 vc/bin/x86 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\bin\Hostx64\x86
 vc/lib/x64 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\lib\x64
 vc/lib/x86 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\lib\x86
 vc/include from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\XX.YY.ZZZZZ\include
 vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.0\ucrt\x64
 vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.0\ucrt\x86
 vc/sdk/lib/um/x64 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.0\um\x64
 vc/sdk/lib/um/x86 from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.16299.0\um\x86
 vc/sdk/include/ucrt from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\ucrt
 vc/sdk/include/um from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\um
 vc/sdk/include/shared from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\shared
 vc/sdk/include/ucrt/sys/time.h: link to ../time.h
  • If you change this structure you must also adapt the .configure calls later
  • If you are only targeting x64 or x86 you can omit the other architecture
  • Run wine regedit and add to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment the entry PATH:
    • 64 bit host, 64 bit target: C:\vc\bin\x64
    • 64 bit host, 32 bit target: C:\vc\bin\x86;C:\vc\bin\x64

wine cl, wine link and wine lib should now work.

Debug build

  • To get a debug build, use the flags -MDd -D_DEBUG for libraries
  • You will need to copy the debug versions of the standard libraries into the paths

Compiling CLN

You must use a recent CLN (>1.3.6)

If the linker reports undefined symbols, try to remove the inlined methods cl_string::cl_string (const char * s) and cl_string& cl_string::operator= (const char * s) from include/cln/string.h and instead defining them in src/base/string/cl_st_make2.cc. The extern definitions can be removed from these two methods.

If compilation fails on the two assembler files, remove the following lines from src/Makefile.am: 

 nodist_libcln_la_SOURCES = \
 base/digitseq/cl_asm.S \
 polynomial/elem/cl_asm_GF2.S

Visual Studio 2017 and 2019

  • Run autoreconf -i
  • Configure the build
    • 64 bit build: ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" CCAS="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" CPPFLAGS="-MD -DNO_ASM -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/vc/sdk/include/shared" --host=amd64-mingw64msvc
    • 32 bit build: ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" CCAS="wine cl" LD="wine link" LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" CPPFLAGS="-MD -DNO_ASM -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/vc/sdk/include/shared" --host=i586-mingw32msvc
  • Edit libtool and find the two lines containing -OUT. Replace lib with wine lib
  • Make one of these changes (depending on what source version you have only one is possible)
    • Edit the src/Makefile and find the line starting with .S.lo and add the switch -TC before -c -o
    • Remove the definition of nodist_libcln_la_SOURCES from src/Makefile.am (total three lines) and re-run configure
  • Build
    • 64 bit build: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64"
    • 32 bit build: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86"
  • Check
    • 64 bit build: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" check
    • 32 bit build: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" check
  • All tests should pass successfully (note that on a 64-bit wine, the 32-bit tests will not execute). If they do not, you might need to install the package wine-binfmt

Compiling GiNaC

For a 64 bit build, you need a recent version of GiNaC (>1.7.8).

If compilation fails with reference to a missing C++20 compiler, edit the configure.ac and change the compiler prerequisite AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX to version 20.

Visual Studio 2017 and 2019

  • Copy src/.libs/libcln.lib into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/lib/x64 (or x86) and the CLN headers in the include directory into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/include/x64/cln (or x86/cln)
  • Get a recent GiNaC (>= 1.8.2)
  • Run autoreconf -i in the source directory
  • Configure
    • 64 bit: ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" CLN_CFLAGS=-IC:/local/include/x64 CLN_LIBS=C:/local/lib/x64/libcln.lib LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" CPPFLAGS="-MD -EHsc -Zc:__cplusplus -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/local/include" --disable-shared --enable-static --host=amd64-mingw64msvc
    • 32 bit: ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine link" CLN_CFLAGS=-IC:/local/include/x86 CLN_LIBS=C:/local/lib/x86/libcln.lib LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" CPPFLAGS="-MD -EHsc -IC:/vc/include -IC:/vc/sdk/include/um -IC:/vc/sdk/include/ucrt -IC:/local/include" --disable-shared --enable-static --host=i586-mingw32msvc
  • Edit the libtool created by configure:
    • The line starting with old_archive_cmds must read "wine lib -OUT:\$oldlib\$oldobjs\$old_deplibs". Note that this line occurs twice in the file!
  • Build
    • 64 bit: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64"
    • 32 bit: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86"
  • On Windows compilation will fail in the ginsh subdirectory. Simply cd to this directory and run make -t (since we won't be needing ginsh)
  • Change to the toplevel directory again and finish the build with the same make command as before
  • Check
    • 64 bit: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x64;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x64" check
    • 32 bit: make LIB="C:/vc/lib/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/um/x86;C:/vc/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86" check
  • All tests should pass successfully (note that on 64 bit wine the 32 bit tests will not execute)

Preparing the Office SDK

  • Install Office and the Office SDK into wine using the standard Windows installation files. Try to run ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/<YOUR_OFFICE>/program/soffice.exe, if this doesn't start, then install it into a clean wine.
  • Remember to install 64-bit versions of the Office and SDK if you set up a 64-bit Visual C++ environment
  • In the SDK base directory (e.g. ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/<YOUR_OFFICE>/sdk), edit settings/dk.mk and change the platform PLATFORM=wine (for Apache OpenOffice, create a file called config.guess in the sdk subdirectory with contents echo wine; exit 0)
  • Edit settings/settings.mk and add a section for wine. The iMath source subdirectory src/wine-sdk-config contains a sample that works for me, but keep in mind that the settings.mk file varies between SDK versions.
  • Go to sdk/bin and create an executable called cppumaker with content wine "$OO_SDK_HOME/bin/cppumaker.exe" "$@"
  • Install the Office DLLs where wine can find them (e.g. symlink into the sdk/bin directory) but not into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32, because this will confuse the office. This is required for cppumaker.exe to run

Compiling iMath

Copy libginac.lib into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/lib/x64 (or x86) and the GiNaC headers (also from the parser subdirectory) into ~/.wine/drive_c/local/include/x64/ginac (or x86/ginac)

  • Because GNU make has problems with spaces in paths, it is strongly advisable to create a symlink to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files and any other directory that has spaces (e.g. LibreOffice\ 5)
  • Edit the config.wine file matching your Office installation in the directory src/wine-sdk-config. Set BASE= to match your wine installation directory. Edit the relevant entries at the top of the file using the symlinked directory names without spaces
  • Source this config.wine.xxx file
  • Run autoreconf -i
  • 32 bit build: Run ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine cl" --host=i586-mingw32msvc
  • 64 bit build: Run ./configure CC="wine cl" CXX="wine cl" LD="wine cl" --host=amd64-mingw64msvc
  • Change into the source directory
  • Run make. This will produce an error about mt.exe at the end of the process. Just run make again and the extension is created in the iMathout directory
