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)

make && ./wibo

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
