wine users - Aug 2003 - foxpro 6 and wine

Hi;

I just got myself a copy of foxpro 6,  I got wine .20030408.1 on
knoppix 3.2(debian).  I am not running windows in any way, shape or
form( and will not ).

I mounted the cdrom as root.  I then cd into /cdrom as myself and ran
setup.exe.

All went well until I typed my liscence key in.  The "next" button
would not gray out, so I couldn't install foxpro.

Below is my wine config file.

Any ideas on things I could try with what I have to get foxpro
working?

Thanks in advance

Steve

I think you should try with wine-20030813, you can download it from
http://www.winehq.com/site/download
Wine lacks a debian build, but you could try the unoficcial debian builds.
Alternatively, you can download the source from the sourceforge link.

Should we cc the group?  I noticed I messed that up, and haven't gotten
back to forwarding it yet..

Anyways..   You need to create/find a VFP6 Runtime.   If you already
have a Windows install, you can used the Wizards to generate a 'package'
with a 'test.prg' file in it.  That will install all the runtime stuff
so you can distribute your 'test.prg'. 

Or, grab a copy of the VFP6 Runtime from here:
http://www.bucek.info/free.htm

I've grabbed other's runtimes before, and they've worked fine.

Just do 'wine setup.exe', and it should install without a hitch.

I still need some help :).

I removed my old wine, and compiled the latest, greatest ( 20030813 ).
I got it to work regedit and the copy of notepad it came with.

I have my "c" directory ( aka /home/steve/c ).

I installed the vfp runtime(VFP6RUN ) from
http://www.bucek.info/free.htm

No problems there.

Then I copied the vfp98 directory off of my foxpro 6 cd onto my "c"
drive.

I went into that directory and executed "wine vfp6.exe".

I got this message box

---------------------------------------
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0X000000000 at address 0X00462e5b
Do you wish to debug it
-------------------------------------

I haven't altered my ~/wine/config file yet as I am not sure what to do.

Any ideas on what else I need to do?

( Im on knoppix/debian without a windows installation )

Hi;

I finally got foxpro to come up on knoppix/debian.

Now, I want to brag to my friends :).

I tried using Gimp to get a screen shot ( file | acquire | screen shot ).

It works when foxpro is NOT running.

When foxpro is running I get a message that "XWD file is not
accessible".

Any ideas on how else I can get a screen shot with foxpro running?

Sure.

I am using knoppix( debian ) an foxpro 6.

1. I uninstalled the older version of wine that came with knoppix.

2. I installed the latest release of wine from http://winehq.org/

3. I created a directory called "c" in my home directory
    ( do this before you run the installer )

4. I decompressed the tar.gz in /usr/local ( opening up all permissions
    in there ) using the command tar zxvf

5. I went into the wine dir that resulted from #4 and ran
    ./tools/wineinstall

6. When the installer asked me to create a "c" directory I typed the
    path is suggested in.  Do not hit the space bar expecting it to fill
    in a default, it wont.  Type the path in.

7. I downloaded the foxpro 6 runtime from:
    http://www.bucek.info/free.htm

8. I installed the foxpro 6 runtime by typeing in "setup.exe"  in the
    shell

9. I mounted my vfp 6 cd as root, and copied the vfp98 dir to
    /home/steve/c/Program Files/.  I then chmod -c -R and chown -c -R
    that dir.

10. I opened the file /home/steve/.wine/config in a text editor

11. I went to the section with "[Version]" on top. I uncommented the 	
     line starting with "Windows =.  I then changed it to
     Windows = "nt351".

12. I then went to my vfp98 dir and ran the command:
     wine vfp6.exe

13. For some reason it locked the first few times I did it and then
     it came up.

Good Luck

I forgot to mention that foxpro 6 only seemed to lock up on loading in 
the icewm window manager.  It worked fine in the KDE and windowmaker
