Re: PG Lightning Admin running on Linux via WINE 2005524

It runs almost perfectly and pretty fast on a AMD Athlon XP 1.8

http://www.amsoftwaredesign.com/gallery/wineshots?page=1
(this is with the latest version of wine from 5/24/2005)

The only issue I saw was that the text in the data grids was coming back
the same color as the background, and I think this is
because the odd numbered row coloring is on by default.

NOTE: running the program on WINE is not officially supported.

Huh, have you considered compiling it on Linux using libwine? That may
give you better results.

Just tried it here at work with crossover office 3.0.0 and it was far
too slow to be usable (plus I had issues with text boxes showing
through to the window below).

I'll give it a go at home this weekend with a more recent version of
Wine and see if that improves things (I do actually want to be able to
use this!)

Can't do that, it's a Delphi 7 application.

I used the wine from 5/24/2005 and it was certainly not slow, and I was only running on a Athlon XP 1.8 (1.5gzh) which is
by no means top of the line hardware.

Have you heard of Kylix? You should be able to do an almost straight
native port to Linux.

I didn't get chance to try it at home under Wine, but a pative port
using Kylix sounds like a fantastic idea.
