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.

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
