Ubuntu, Crossover Office and PB Windows

[GeoTrail]

Has anyone tried installing PB for Windows on Ubuntu using Crossover office?
I tried that now and everything seemed to work fine until I try to compile a program. It doesn't seem to be able to find any of the functions in PB.

"CodeWeavers' goal is to make Unix (including Linux and Mac OS X) a fully Windows-compatible operating system. All Windows applications should be able to be run on Unix: cleanly, harmoniously, within the native environment, and without using an emulator. To that end, we maintain this Compatibility Center. Here, you can learn the exact status of any given Windows application vis-a-vis Wine. We also hope that you will join us in helping to support your application in Wine."

I wonder if the supported list is strict or *should* be able to run about anything but what's on the list is guaranteed?

Why should one do that!? This doesn't make sense to me, sorry.

[GeoTrail]

It's not supposed to make sense. Just to work

Ah!

(I tried to get PB Linux running with Cygwin under Windows. )

Cygwin is not binaray compatible, coLinux is and should work though.
Concerning Win PB on Linux, PB runs fine on Wine, tehre are some problems displaying the menu symbols but I guess you can figure out what is what.

I have found that my PB windows EXEs run perfectly under Wine/Crossover - a testament to Fred's skilz.

Even when my EXEs are making many windows API calls.

Yeah I know that too Straker. But I cannot compile using the Windows version of PB on Linux.

I tried running the Windows Version under Linux about 6 month ago using Wine by itself and I was able to compile some small graphic application and have it run fine.

That was with Pure Basic version 4.0 for Windows, under Ubuntu

That means there must be hope
