A minimal, low-fuss wrapper that can run simple command-line 32-bit Windows binaries on 32-bit Linux - developed to run Windows compilers faster than Wine.
Download the latest release from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/decompals/wibo/releases) or build from source.
## Building
```sh
@ -11,19 +13,51 @@ cmake --build build
Set `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release` to produce an optimized binary instead.
## Running
## Usage
```sh
./build/wibo /path/to/program.exe [arguments...]
wibo [options] <program.exe> [arguments...]
wibo path [subcommand options] <path> [path...]
```
Supported command line options:
### General Options
- `--help`: Print usage information.
- `-D`, `--debug`: Enable shim debug logging (equivalent to `WIBO_DEBUG=1`).
- `-C DIR`, `--chdir DIR`, `--chdir=DIR`: Change to `DIR` before running the guest program.
- `--cmdline STRING`, `--cmdline=STRING`: Use `STRING` as the exact guest command line. (Including the program name as the first argument.)
- `--`: Stop option parsing; following arguments are interpreted as the exact guest command line. (Including the program name as the first argument.)
| Option | Description |
| --------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `-h, --help` | Show usage information and exit |
| `-V, --version` | Show version information and exit |
### Runtime Options
| Option | Description |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-C, --chdir DIR` | Change working directory before launching the program |
| `-D, --debug` | Enable debug logging (same as `WIBO_DEBUG=1`) |
| `--cmdline STRING` | Use `STRING` as the exact guest command line (must include the program name, e.g. `"test.exe a b c"`) |
| `--` | Stop option parsing; following arguments are used verbatim as the guest command line, including the program name |
### Subcommands
| Subcommand | Description |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `path` | Convert between host and Windows-style paths (see `wibo path --help` for details) |
### Examples
#### Normal usage
```sh
wibo path/to/test.exe a b c
wibo -C path/to test.exe a b c
```
#### Advanced: full control over the guest command line
```sh
wibo path/to/test.exe -- test.exe a b c
wibo --cmdline 'test.exe a b c' path/to/test.exe
wibo -- test.exe a b c
```

This will cross-compile the fixture executables, run them through `wibo`, and fail if any WinAPI expectations are not met.
