Free win32 software for linux

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Main features:
Binary Compatibility
- Loads Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP, Windows 3.x and DOS programs and libraries
- Win32 compatible memory layout, exception handling, threads and processes
- Designed for POSIX compatible operatings systems (eg. Linux and FreeBSD)
- ``bug-for-bug compatibility with Windows
Graphics
- X11-based graphics allows remote display to any X terminal
- X11, TrueType (.ttf/.ttc) and Windows Bitmap (.fon) Fonts
- DirectX support for games (limited Direct3D support)
- Printing via PostScript driver or legacy native Win16 printer drivers
- Enhanced Metafile (EMF) and Windows Metafile (WMF) driver
- Desktop-in-a-box or mixable windows
- Windows MultiMedia (WinMM) layer support with builtin codecs
Allows Windows program to interface with:
- Sound devices via ALSA, OSS, ARTS, JACK, and libaudio etc
- Multi-lingual keyboards and CJK input method support via XIM
- Modems, serial devices
- Networks (TCP/IP and IPX)
- ASPI Scanners
- Windows Tablets via XInput (eg. Wacom)
Wine API
- Designed for source and binary compatibility with Win32 code
- Win32 API test suite to ensure compatibility
- Compilable on a wide range of C compilers
- Permits mixing of Win32 and POSIX code
- Permits mixing of ELF (.so) and PE (.dll/.exe) binaries in one address space
- Win32 compatible header files
- Automatically generated API documentation
- Resource compiler
- Message compiler
- IDL compiler
- extensive Unicode support
- Internationalization -- Wine supports 16 languages
- Built-in debugger and configurable trace messages
- External memory checker support using Valgrind
- Sample programs
Enhancements:

- Many DirectSound fixes.
- Still more gdiplus functions.

- Lots of bug fixes.

Lincity project is an city simulation game for SVGALib/X/Win32/etc.

You are required to build and maintain a city. You must feed, house, provide jobs and goods for your residents.

You can build a sustainable economy with the help of renewable energy and recycling, or you can go for broke and build rockets to escape from a pollution ridden and resource starved planet, its up to you.

Due to the finite resources available in any one place, this is not a game that you can leave for long periods of time.

Tiny Eclipse project was created to provide small and easy to install distributions of Eclipse.
Main features:
- Small download size
- Cross-platform GUI installer(current only for win32 & linux-gtk)
- You can choose the features you want to install.
Enhancements:
- This is based on the Eclipse 3.3 code base.

UNIXEm is a UNIX Emulation Library for Win32.
Several Linux APIs, such as opendir() (a simple but useful set of functions directory enumeration functions, comprising opendir(), closedir(), rewinddir() and readdir()), are not provided on Windows, or are not provided on Intel C/C++ / Visual C++. This API, along with glob(), gettimeofday() and one or two others are provided in this simple library.
The implementations provided are not industrial strength, by any means, and are only intended to provide aid in cross-platform development. There are NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER with this software, and if you use it for any production code, you may be making a serious mistake.
Notwithstanding those caveats, it is my intention to provide a good quality library, and I think it provides a good basis for testing for UNIX APIs from the Win32 platform, so I would appreciate notification if you locate any bugs
Enhancements:
- minor modifications to fixup interactions with appropriate compiler runtime library

Corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP proxy supporting the CONNECT method. It reads stdin and writes to stdout during the connection, exactly like netcat.
Corkscrew has been compiled on :
HPUX
Solaris
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
Linux
Win32 (with Cygwin)
Corkscrew has been tested with the following HTTP proxies :
Gauntlet
CacheFlow
JunkBuster
Apache mod_proxy
Enhancements:
- Added GPL license to distribution.
- Added support for GNU autoconf and automake.
- corkscrew now compiles on Solaris with GNU tools.

pdnMesh is an automatic mesh generator and solver for Finite Element problems. It will also do post-processing to generate contour plots and Postscript printouts. GUI support using GTK or MFC (Win32) is available.

The problem definition can be done in any form and given to pdnMesh as an input data file. Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) files can be directly imported to pdnmesh. The quality and the coarseness of the mesh can be controlled by giving input parameters.

Namazu is a full-text search engine. Namazu uses the index maker mknmz command and the text searcher namazu command.

For quickly searching through many documents, Namazu generates an index similar to that of a books.

mknmz command compiles the index. The target directory for indexing is given as an argument for mknmz. For example, if the target directory is /home/foo/public_html, then type

% mknmz /home/foo/public_html

Now documents such as *.html and *.txt under /home/foo/public_html are indexed and NMZ.* files are created in the directory where you run mknmz. NMZ.* files are from Namazus index.

The namazu command searches the index. For example:

% namazu bar /home/foo/Namazu/foobar

The above searches a keyword "bar" for the index under /home/foo/Namazu/bar.

For searching a great amount of documents quickly, Namazu makes an index in advance. The concept of index is just similar to an index of book.

Namazu is being developed by Namazu Project. Namazu will work on UNIX, Win32 and OS/2 environments. For Win32, you can find Namazu for Win32: a Full-Text Search Engine page. For OS/2, OS/2 port of Namazu a full text retrieval search system is maintained by Shimizu-san. Each page provides binary package also.

Not only with cgi interface of Web, it works on command line as namazu. Other frontends are also available from other sources, such as namazu.el and Wanderlust on Emacs, Tknamazu on X Window System and Search-S on Win32.

Filters enable namazu to index various formats of files. Mail/News filter works with no additives, some other type requires third parties filter executable although the calling capabilites included in Namazu package.

PTkSdict is a dictionary using Sdict dictionary format. Unlike ptkdic or gtkdic, MySQL isnt needed; you can work with dictionary files directly.
libsdict uses Unicode, meaning that words and articles all are in UTF-8. There are two index levels, compression, and tools to convert from text files to .dct and vice versa.
Main features:
- Cross-platform, works under UNIX, Win32 and Symbian OS
- Open Source, binary .dct format is also open and described in documentation
- Unicode, all words and articles are stored in UTF-8
- Two index levels: short and full
- Compression for dictionary articles
- Tools to convert from text file to .dct and vice versa under both Win32 and UNIX
- Simple Web Dictionary which is included into package
- C library framework with simple CLI, Win32 binaries are available
- Perl API (Sdict.pm module)
- Simple, but powerful Jotter and Data applications
- Compiler which helps you to create own dictionaries
Enhancements:
- Fixes for some dictionary types.
- Version information was added to the DLL.
- Include files were reorganized.
- There are new library functions.
