+.TH WINEGCC 1 "January 2005" "Wine Manpage" "Wine Developers Manual"
+.SH NAME
+winegcc \- Wine C and C++ MinGW Compatible Compiler
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BR "winegcc "\fI[options]\fR " \fIinfile\fR"...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B winegcc 
+is a gcc wrapper which tries to provide a MinGW compatible compiler 
+under Linux. This is most useful to Win32 developers who can simply 
+take their MinGW code from Windows, and recompile it without 
+modifications under Winelib on Linux. 
+wineg++ accepts mostly the same options as winegcc.
+.PP
+The goal of winegcc is to be able to simply replace gcc/g++/windres
+with winegcc/wineg++/wrc in a MinGW Makefile, and just recompile
+the application using Winelib under Wine. While typically there are 
+small adjustments that must be made to the application source code 
+and/or Makefile, it is quite easy to do them in a fashion that is
+compatible between the MinGW and Wine environments.
+.PP
+This manual will document only the differences from gcc; please consult
+the gcc manual for more information on those options.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B gcc options:
+All gcc options are supported, and are passed along to the backend
+compiler.
+.IP "\fB-B\fIprefix\fR"
+This option specifies where to find the executables, libraries,
+include files, and data files of the compiler itself. This is a 
+standard gcc option that has been extended to recognize a 
+\fIprefix\fR ending with '/tools/winebuild', in which case winegcc 
+enters a special mode for building Wine itself. Developers should 
+avoid prefixes ending with the magic suffix, or if that is not 
+possible, simply express it differently, such as '/tools/winebuild/',
+to avoid the special behaviour.
+.IP \fB-fno-short-wchar\fR
+Override the underlying type for wchar_t to be the default for the 
+target, instead of using short unsigned int, which is the default 
+for Win32.
+.IP \fB-mconsole\fR
+This option passes '--subsystem console' to winebuild, to build
+console applications. It is the default.
+.IP \fB-mno-cygwin\fR
+Use Wine's implementation of MSVCRT, instead of linking against
+the host system's libc. This is necessary for the vast majority
+of Win32 applications, as they typically depend on various features
+of MSVCRT. This switch is also used by the MinGW compiler to link
+against MSVCRT on Windows, instead of linking against Cygwin's
+libc. Sharing the syntax with MinGW makes it very easy to write 
+Makefiles that work under Wine, MinGW+MSYS, or MinGW+Cygwin.
+.IP \fB-mwindows\fR
+This option adds -lgdi32, -lcomdlg32, and -lshell32 to the list of
+default libraries, and passes '--subsystem windows' to winebuild
+to build graphical applications.
+.IP \fB-nodefaultlibs\fR
+Do not use the standard system libraries when linking. These
+include at a minimum -lkernel32, -luser32, -ladvapi32, and 
+any default libraries used by the backend compiler. The -mwindows
+option augments the list of default libraries as described above.
+.IP \fB-Wb,option\fR
+Pass option as an option to winebuild.  If option contains 
+commas, it is split into multiple options at the commas.
+.SH DEFINES
+winegcc defines __WINE__, for code that needs to know when it is
+being compiled under Wine. It also defines WIN32, _WIN32, __WIN32, 
+__WIN32__, __WINNT, and __WINNT__ for compatibility with MinGW.
+.SH BUGS
+The dllimport/dllexport attributes are not supported at the moment,
+due to lack of support for these features in the ELF version of gcc.
+.PP
+Static linking is not currently supported against Wine's DLL. As a
+result, the -static, --static, and -Wl,-static options will generate
+an error.
