Out of curiosity, if the tool was compiled for MinGW doesn't that mean it would run natively on Linux? Why was your friend trying to run the MinGW version?

- jchw 4y agoMinGW does allow you to write Windows-specific code. The code in question could be ported, and in fact I think it might be now, but it still puzzled us why it didn’t work on Wine. I only wanted to help on this particular avenue for the sake of making Wine better. I had figured that it was most likely an issue with Wine that could be rectified. Unfortunately, emulating Windows ASLR behavior in userspace accurately may prove to be fairly difficult, so it’s probably not worth it :) I’m not convinced pseudo relocs actually work reliably on Windows in this way, although I could be wrong.
