Description Jason W. Bacon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2008-12-18 22:50:01 UTC 
This is a set of wrapper scripts for the Windows based Microchip MCC18 compiler and Wine.  The scripts make the compiler tools look like native Unix commands, and also perform basic configuration checks to help with setup issues.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:

I'll take it.

Where did you get the notion that they can't access files outside the 
Wine dir?  I've been using these scripts to build a project in 
/home/bacon/VexCode.  You can try it yourself:

Yes, the scripts are simple, but learning how to make MCC or any other 
Windows app work is not trivial for newbies, and the port serves as a guide.

I was wrong stating that wine apps can't access files outside wine dir 
(it's just that I've removed links to ~/ and Z: drive pointing to /). 

Still, I don't see much of use in this port - it relies on apps 
installed in wine, it relies on wine config, it's way too simple (one 
will more likely just run `wine mcc18 <filename>` than search for the 
port). Sorry.
