Winelib Hobbled by Exception-Handling Patent

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday May 12, 2005 @07:55AM from the cheese-with-your-wine dept.

davidwr writes "UKBuilder.com reports that Borland's structured exception handling (SEH) patent affects Winelib. Winelib allows you to compile Windows-targeted code to run natively on Linux. Because of the patent, gcc does not include support for SEH, which is widely used in the MS-Windows world. There are workarounds, but you won't like them."
