Compiling test application (Notepad) with winelib - executeable segfaults

[Richard Wild]

Hi all,

I was trying to compile the test application (Notepad) with winelib to 
get a feel for how to use it.  I followed the instructions in your docs, 
but ended up with a target file notepad2.exe.so.  The instructions imply 
that I should end up with an executable called notepad2, since they tell 
me to run it.

If I run the .so file it segfaults, so I assume it really is a shared 
library and not just an executable with a funny name.

I want to understand what I've done wrong here, because if I can't get 
this right I certainly won't be able to port anything complicated.  I'm 
sorry if this has been asked often before, but I couldn't find an easy 
way of searching the mailing list.

I am using WINE-0.9.4 built by Adam Schreiber for Slackware 10.2.

Regards,
Rich.

P.S. Here is my output (so you can see exactly what I did):
