quick-and-dirty wrapper that tries to run 32-bit windows EXEs on linux

WiBo

An experiment to try and write a minimal, low-fuss wrapper that can run really simple command-line 32-bit Windows binaries on Linux - with less faff and less dependencies than WINE.

Don't run this on any untrusted executables, I implore you. (Or probably just don't run it at all... :p)

g++ -g -m32 -std=c++20 -lstdc++ main.cpp kernel32.cpp advapi32.cpp loader.cpp

If you need something like this project (but more mature), you might find taviso/loadlibrary more interesting.

Rough to-do list:

• Implement more APIs
• Do something intelligent with Windows HANDLEs
• Pass the command line properly
• Convert paths in environment variables (and the structure of PATH itself, maybe) to Windows format
• Implement PE relocations rather than just failing unceremoniously
• Make the PE loader work for DLLs as well in case we ever want to load some
