Hi everybody.
Is someone using Wine with Delphi 6 applications?
I will try some time in the near future. I just compile wine a few days ago
but havent time to play with it.
Maybe there is the way we should go?
Opinions...

At any rate for in house apps, this may work, but I would not wish to depend
upon a Wine app for a mass distributed applications. What version of Wine,
would you certify on, what Winelibs does the user have loaded, etc. It will
require a lot of testing, and I could see the Help Desk calls arising <G>.
In house, where you control the machines (or a Network engineering group
would), might be OK.
 

Hi,
here some things you should consider when writing delphi apps which shall
be working on wine as well.
If possible:
- aviod registry stuff.
- do not take the components from <Dialogs>tab.
- do not use BDE.
- of course no OLE stuff.
Thats it. My apps work fine in wine. Even third party components like DBISAM
are ok.
Also components which are using dlls (tzip) work fine.
For installation setup I recommend InnoSetup. Runs prefect in wine.

Our app works with the newest Wine-Version.
We use Unicode (ElPack), DB-Access (ADS Local Server),
IE-Integration (IE 4 musst be installed unter WINE),
Print Preview, ...

I (actually another person) tested it with an old version of a program of
mine 1 - 1?years ago:
