SwinX is a versatile library akin to Wine, designed to facilitate the seamless transition of Windows platform applications onto Linux (and potentially macOS) environments. Initially developed to support cross-platform functionality for SOUI5, SwinX can also be employed by other projects seeking cross-platform compatibility.
By implementing essential Windows client APIs on the Linux platform, SwinX enables Windows client code to operate on Linux as effortlessly as on Windows. Presently, SOUI5 can leverage SwinX to run nearly all its features on Linux with minimal code alterations.
This project provides Linux implementations of crucial Windows elements, including HWND functionalities. Notably, only scroll bars are currently supported in the non-client area, with features such as title bars, menus, and MDI window types not yet available.
