Hello Marko,

thank you for your patch and welcome to Wine development.
While in general patches to make Wine use proper types are accepted there is a slight problem with this patch.

Having to use a cast to silence a -Wsign-compare is worse than keeping the warning; especially as that is an extra warning not included in the -Wall used by Wine. Though in this specific case by using the proper types the warning can be eliminated without resorting to casts.

          {
              if (!(p = memrchr( bindir, '/', ret ))) break;
              if (p == bindir) p++;

bye
        michael
