Setup
=====

Install Wine
------------

You need 1.7.55 or later. Previous versions are known not to work with Visual
Studio 14.

For Ubuntu:

# add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
# apt-get update
# apt-get install --no-install-recommends winbind
# apt-get install wine1.7 wine-mono4.5.6 wine-gecko2.40


Configure Wine
--------------

$ winecfg

If it suggests installing some stuff, ignore it. Change the platform to
Windows 7 (later version will probably also work).


Prepare to Copy Visual Studio
-----------------------------

Note that below we assume that you have installed Visual Studio in the default
location.

Mount the VM disk (make sure it is not running) where you installed Visual
Studio. First get the second partition offset (<O>) and sector size (normally
512, as below).

# fdisk -lu .../windows-7.img

Then mount via the loopback device:

# losetup -o $((512*<O>)) /dev/loop0 ./windows-7.img
# mount -o ro /dev/loop0 /mnt

When finished copying Visual Studio, unmount and delete the loopback:

# umount /mnt
# losetup -d /dev/loop0


Copy and Setup Visual Studio 11
-------------------------------

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/"
$ cp "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/Common7/IDE/mspdb110.dll" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/bin/"

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.0" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/"

Run the VC11 redistributable DLLs installer for x86 from .../VC/redist/1033/.

Add override for msvcr110.dll: run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab, then
enter the DLL name and "Add".


Copy and Setup Visual Studio 12
-------------------------------

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/VC" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/"

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/"

Run the VC12 redistributable DLLs installer for x86 from .../VC/redist/1033/.

Add override for msvcr120.dll: run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab, then
enter the DLL name and "Add".


Copy and Setup Visual Studio 14
-------------------------------

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/"

$ mkdir -p ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/"
$ cp -r "/mnt/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10" \
  ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/"

Installing via the redistributable DLLs still does not work as of Wine 1.7.55.
Instead, we have to manually copy a bunch of DLLs from /mnt/Windows/SysWoW64/
to VC/bin/ and add Wine overrides (run winecfg, select the "Libraries" tab,
then enter the DLL name and "Add").

To discover the list of DLLs, run cl-14 to compile and link and executable
(see Test below): any DLL that causes an error needs an override.

For Wine 1.7.55 the list is:

  api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
  ucrtbase.dll
  api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
  api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
  vcruntime140.dll
  api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
  api-ms-win-crt-conio-l1-1-0.dll


Test
----

cl-NN /EHsc /TP hello-world.cxx
./hello-world.exe


Usage
=====

To suppress Wine debug messages (especially advisable if running executables
built with more recent Visual Studio versions) you may want to add the
following line to your .bashrc or similar:

export WINEDEBUG=fixme-all

Keeping wineserver running seems to help with performance (especially
for /E and /EP modes for some reason):

$ wineserver -p
