EndPoint Mapper
Rob Shearman said:
- There are 3 things that Samba could do to help Wine:
(1) Expose NamedPipes in a library (2) Expose an API that would allow Wine (and other applications) to register an endpoint in the Samba endpoint mapper. This API would be along the lines of samba_epm_registerep(UUID *object_uuid, char *protocol, char *endpoint), and a corresponding unregister function.
(3) Create a server with DcomInterfaces
It appears the main obstacle is the license: Samba is GPL and Wine is LGPL.
