Hi, Some years ago I developed a Delphi application for my private use and now I want it to run on Linux using wine. The application uses Paradox database engine. I tried to install the engine itself but failed. Eventually I installed the whole Delphi development environment with wine. It certainly installed BDE but I can not run even the dbd32.exe (database desktop). Machine: RH9 HW: HP omnibook 6000 Wine version: 20031118 -- Thanks.

"Can't run", "doesn't work" is not that informative. Is some window coming up? Are there just a few messages on the console and the it quits? If so, please post these messages. bye Fabi

The Borland Database Engine (BDE) is installed on my machine. When I run the windows DataBase Desktop dbd32.exe with --debugmsg +loaddll options it crashes after loading C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Borland Shared\\BDE\\IDPDX32.DLL Fabian suggested that I will, next time, use the bt command in the debugger which I did and the backtrack is listed below. Can you make any sense out of it? One more question. In order to enable the debugger I had to setup some registry entries. I did not do it manually, instead I had wine installed from source using ./tools/wineinstall Is there a similar procedure to setup everything when you install from rpm file? are the tools such as winecheck available when installing from rpm?
