Stuff I've learned about Wine

[aftertaf]

Hi.
First: you've just been bookmarked.... far too useful for it's own good thanks!!!

2nd: Concerning Wine, do you have any 'business' experience ?
I'm looking to migrate work PCs from XP to Kubuntu, and we use database stuff and homemade Borland C++ exes...
Before we can begin porting to linux, I want to show them that it's viable as a system, and without dev costs make things run with Wine;
I'm currently stuck with the ODBC. I can't conenct a wine-run app to a SQL server via the ODBC I configured with odbcad32.exe
I wondered if you have any tips or experience on this, or maybe a way to override the odbc to use the linux implementation unixodbc directly.??

Also, is there a way to capture or debug why a certain program is crashing at a certain point?

Thanks again and serious bravo. If I finf in the meantime any things useful in my tests, i'll let you know, for the record

If you have the source code for the homemade stuff, you should theoretically be able to port it to Linux by compiling it with Winelib.

You should also start a new thread on this topic.

I'm trying to run a game by BigFish Games and almost everything seems to be working BUT the graphics. When I enter the game, audio is ok but I can see nothing but white squares floating. Even the pointer is a little white square. ._. What do I do? Is there something I can do in the Wine Configuration? I have wine1.2.
