Renamed the GitHub repo, Go module path, binary, and default install
directory from msvc-go-wine to vintner. Updated every user-facing
string (usage text, error prefixes, README, LICENSE, CI/release
workflow) and the embedded compatibility patches' own header text to
match; the VINTNER_LANG env var replaces VSMC_GO_WINE_LANG.
Also fixes a real bug found while re-verifying the rename end-to-end:
Microsoft.Cpp.WindowsSDK.props.patch had LF-only line endings in its
hunk body while the real Microsoft-shipped file it targets is CRLF,
so `git apply` silently failed on every real install and the SDK
detection fix it's meant to provide was never actually taking effect.
Restored matching CRLF endings in the hunk (checked against the other
five patches, which already had this right). Left the patch's
internal MsvcGoWine_ExtraSdkRoots MSBuild property name alone rather
than renaming it too - changing hunk content, even just an identifier,
breaks reverse-apply idempotency for anyone re-running download
against an already-patched tree, which the fix above depends on. Added
a .remove marker so an existing install's old-named props file gets
cleaned up on the next download.
Re-verified end-to-end after the rename: general MSBuild/cl/link
still work, and a real KMDF driver build (compile, link, INF stamping,
Inf2Cat signability check) still succeeds under the renamed binary.
README also gets an accuracy pass: WDK support and the download/env
CLI flags it lists were out of date (WDK was previously listed under
"Known gaps" despite being implemented and verified), the full tool
list was missing mc/cmd/findstr, and the new command aliases and
VINTNER_LANG option are now documented.
Was accidentally pinned to the locally installed toolchain's exact version
(1.26.5), which broke CI on runners with an older Go. Nothing in the code
needs anything newer than 1.23.
A single-binary Go tool for cross compiling with the real MSVC toolchain
on Linux via Wine. Behaves as cl/link/lib/rc/midl/mt/dumpbin/msbuild/
nmake/ml/ml64/armasm/armasm64/cmd/findstr depending on the name it's
invoked as, plus download/install/env/version management subcommands.
- download: fetches the MSVC/WinSDK installer manifest, resolves package
selection and dependencies, downloads and verifies payloads, unpacks
VSIX/MSI packages, and applies a handful of compatibility patches so
VsDevCmd.bat and MSBuild's SDK detection work without a Windows
Registry (which doesn't exist under Wine).
- install: locates the installed toolchain/SDK versions, normalizes
header/library name casing, lays out per-architecture tool symlinks
with an env.json config each, and compiles a small native launcher
(toolrelay.exe) that lets mt.exe's CMake-compatibility exit code
survive Wine's own exit-code truncation.
- The wrapper runtime rewrites absolute unix paths in tool arguments into
Wine's z:\... form, runs the real .exe under wine, and rewrites the
tool's output back to plain unix paths.
Verified end-to-end against a real MSVC/WinSDK download: cl, link, mt and
the resulting hello.exe all work under Wine, including through the
toolrelay.exe relay path and with paths containing non-ASCII characters.
Offline unit tests cover the wrapper's path-rewrite/output-filter logic,
install-time header lowercasing, and download package-selection/
dependency-resolution.
