Hi,
With help of AppDB howto and tips from wine community
I managed to install Delphi 5 on KUbuntu 8.0.4.1 Wine 1.1.3.
I can use it fairly flawlessly with some features missing.
I compiled Application on this installation and launched
in production also almost week ago and have not received any
complaints till date. I have noticed some minor glitches
which are hampering productivity a little bit.
1> In Object Inspector Drop down Combos are not Working
2> In Code Editor <Ctrl>-<Space> is not working.
There are other also but those are manageable.
Just to mention
1> Component Pallet Loading throws Missing BPLs but
at the end all components are properly Loaded.
2> Form - Editor - Object Inspector switching with
Function Keys have some glitches.
After testing it in production for some more days
I am going to post a Detailled HOWTO about it
which may help other to do it quickly. At the same time
I am keen on almost 95% compatibility with
Windows Functionality. Hope If somebody is using it
for long time with wine might have some solution
or workaround for these points.
Thanks and Best regards.

The matter mentioned in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15062 could not be replicated. My configuration is KUbuntu 8.0.1, Wine 1.1.3 Bottle configured as winXP, Desktop window Windows Manager Controlling Windows Decoration, and Contents. BTW I am not facing any problems till date with Delphi Compiled Programs But with Delphi Itself. Its True That Delphi is Written In Delphi itself. Anyway Can somebody Suggest me debug switches to be used so that problem area can be Detected. I feel that using some DLL native could solve this problem. Wine and Linux both are great so I strongly feel that a workaround is definitely Possible. Thanks And Best Regards Raja Patil
