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.
Raja S Patil.
