The last time I tried to run one of our apps (Topo USA 4.0) under WINE (binary) it could not get past the COM elements. We do a lot of crazy stuff at the COM layer, since ATL had not completely gelled to our liking when core parts of the second generation app were built. I have not tried again in the last two years, and it has been a long while since I tried to just port the code itself and build it under WINE.
Brook is right on target, the app is written entirely in VC++. The minimum build is 3,500KLOC and so a porting effort is not a nominal undertaking, even when targetting WINE. That is why it has been so long between attempts on my part.
