Hi There! i am new here at the forum, i live in argentina, and as a project i think in to make fully operational a program wich is writen in foxpro, on a win98 platform, now running over winshit XP, as i have been tired to pay licences to Mr.Gates, i choose the 9.10 ubuntu distribution,readin down there i found the Wine and the Crossover soft to execute some windows programs over linux, i install the wine in my system, install the windows aplication, y mount with samba the network unit, but y cant make it work, i cant see the command to start the app! this is the command line in the windows icon to star the aplication: M:\FOXR.EXE IM000.FXP -1 -CC:\FXCFG -T +X where (m) is (c:\im) in the server, mounted as a network unit, but this line doesnt work in linux, any help?!!! pleaseee!
What is this icon? Is it a .BAT file? An UNIX shell script? A typical Windows link file? You need to instruct your system to run the exe with Wine. So not: M:\FOXR.EXE IM000.FXP -1 -CC:\FXCFG -T +X But instead: wine M:\FOXR.EXE IM000.FXP -1 -CC:\FXCFG -T +X Instead of adding the whole M: thing you can also cd to the network share directory and run wine FOXR.EXE there instead. Sometimes this fixes working path issues that applications might have.
