Using P/Invokes in Mono through Wine

Is it possible to use native Win API functions in Mono through Wine? Are there some additional libraries for interactions between Mono and Wine?

Solution

  • This will only work if you install and use the Windows version of Mono inside the Wine environment. No additional libraries should be needed. However, P/Invoke that affects the Windows Forms GUI likely won't work, because Mono's Windows Forms doesn't actually wrap native controls, but instead is implemented using fully managed code.

    There's probably a better way to do what you want, if you could be more specific.
