AMX Programming under Linux

ShadowUA

Hi all,

Anybody trying to use AMX software under Linux OS.

I am use OpenSuse 11.0.
Install wine (emulator, can run windows soft under Linux).
Then install TP4Designer with wine, and its work. Open the panel file... edit and save
Check Diagnostics - works.

I am stoped on Netlinx Studio - wine crash with:

wine: Unhandled division by zero at address 0x7eaa98f8 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: divide by zero in 32-bit code (0x7eaa98f8).

Any body can help in this issue?

I've a couple machines that I use that run Linux. (Umbutu Server and Umbuntu desktop)

I've tried using Windoze emulators before with some sucess. Howevr, I could see a whole raft of problems in that NS2 creates several directories and expects to see files in those places. Since the pathways created in the Linux system are obviously different, I can see the installer failing miserably.

Though I've never tried with AMX stuff in particular, I've tried various other software installers and had the same issues.

You might have better luck with VMWare or one of its competitors. I use Studio inside a VM all the time for uploads to a customer with a particularly annoying VPN setup that I don't want to run on my desktop. My host OS is XP, but it shouldn't be any different running XP on Linux.

ShadowUA

Certainly it is possible to use VMWare but it would be desirable to have all-in-one, with out time spending to load Windowz Emulator.

Still another variant. To start in this emulator(wine) the NetLinx compiler (through command line) and then to send a file through File Transfer

For what its worth, I do almost all of my work from within a virtual machine (Window XP Pro via VMware Fusion, latest version). This is both on a MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro. Everything works great.

I too have it working on an Intel Mac just fine.

What about hot keys?

Are hot keys on the MacBook Pro for missing PC keys that come in handy for NS2? I've seen a list that includes Home, PageUP & PageDN, but not the End key. JB

Not to hijack the thread, but ShadowUA, the image you are displaying in TPD4 is really cool. Is that something you found on the internet somewhere?

IRT to Linux, I second the thoughts already posted here. I love Linux and would switch to it in a second, but I have never had much success with running Windows based programs on Linux. It seems I can get them to install and start, but they usually crash very quickly after opening them. I gave up the fight. I think Eric is right in that the applications install other bits and pieces of software in various locations and needs to be able to find them in order to run. Maybe one day NetLinx Studio will become open source so it can be manipulated for Linux machines. My biggest fight was with my iPod. I finally was able to "see" the iPod and play music from it, but I never could add new music to it.

It looks like some of the stuff from digitalblasphemy.com They have a lot of 'other-worldly' images on their site. I like them for desktop backgrounds because they're all pretty dark and low contrasty. It's easy to see icons. This is where the infamous glowing mushrooms desktop comes from.[/threadjack]

Yeah, I'm a big Linux user too (can't you tell by my icon? ). I usually either just use windows :[ or use Linux and VMware player to run windows/Netlinx inside of it. It seems to work quite well, and responsively. All the file transfer/usb/serial port stuff works fine from inside VMware.

However, on my home computer (which is free of M$-ware ), I tried installing Netlinx. It installed fine, but when I attempt to run it, I get that same "divide-by-zero" error. D'oh. I hope there's some way to solve that... we'll see.
