No real problem with Wine 0.9. Vfp 9.0 runs out of the box. Unfortunately the WAIT WINDOW bug and the ToolTipText bug are not solved since 2003. I didn't try to install Vfp9 as I can access the installed copy on my windows fat32 partition.


<< DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER, STRING, STRING, STRING, STRING, INTEGER
ShellExecute( 0, "open", "notepad.exe", "", "", 1 )

With no paths to shell32.dll. This is what works with Windows, and should also work with wine. >>

This was my first try with wine20041019, too. The DECLARE statement raised an error (shell32.dll not found). So I tried referencing shell32.dll.so directly. Then the DECLARE statement succeeded but the actual call to ShellExecute() failed.

Something to try might be to put a link to /usr/local/lib/wine/shell32.dll.so in your Wine C:/windows/system32 (or perhaps system; you could always put a link in both). VFP may be directly testing for the existence of the file.
