SLX on Wine?
Posted: 17 May 06 12:34 PM

fiogf49gjkf0d Curious as to whether any BPs here have ever tried SalesLogix on Wine (on Linux)? Does OLE-DB work on Wine at all? Does anything work on Wine? Heh..
For those who don't know what I'm talking about .. http://www.winehq.com/
Just for kicks. Sage would never support this, but I'm curious. Loading up Fedora now... |

fiogf49gjkf0d I thought Wine was a Win3.x clone (or at least back in the day it was). Unless it somehow morphed into a Windows 2000 clone that can trick SalesLogix into installing, I don't think any of the new versions will work.
That said, try firing up SalesLogix 5.2, 4.0, or 3.16 if you got it. I'd be interested to see if those installed and functioned but since those versions rely heavily on BDE you may run into a brick wall there. |

fiogf49gjkf0d Then I read this on their myths page:
Since August 2005, Wine advertises its version as Windows 2000, and for several years before this it was Windows 98, so really Win32 is the primary thing Wine supports. Support for Windows 3.1 applications is still around, of course, as is some support for DOS applications.
If Windows Installer will actually function, I believe it should act as a Windows 2000 clone. I wouldn't be surprised since the source leak for Windows 2000 and NT4 though incomplete could have easily been used to beef up something like this. I'd still try version 5.2 or so if you got it just in case 6.x doesn't work. |

fiogf49gjkf0d I stalled last night on trying to get VMWare Tools and Fedora 5 to get along. I am terrible at Linux--it's like vi and C++, I've learned it like ten times and every time I come back it's a fresh learning experience.
So reportedly CrossOver ( http://www.codeweavers.com/store/?cat=cxof ) aims to get MSI working great if it doesn't work already, and they have this database full of challenges with the hopes to have most Windows apps running on Linux by the end of 2005 (boy that came and went), but almost no apps on their list are even tested, to say nothing of passing the tests.
I was also looking at ReactOS, which unfortunately, despite it booting, doesn't seem to be in a condition worth taking seriously, nor is it a platform anyone really needs. |
