I've installed MS SFU successfully. I can now use gcc under wine on Linux to compile source for Linux under wine on Linux ... ;) A bit bizarre, and a decidedly roundabout way of doing things, but what's a challenge for? I had a go at installing the x-window-system-on-MS-Windows package shown but it halted with these error messages: [wparish(a)localhost sfu+X]$ wine x-win612LX.exe fixme:win:SetWindowTextA cannot set text "InstallShield Wizard" of other process window (nil) fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. fixme:shell:SHELL32_DllCanUnloadNow (void): stub [wparish(a)localhost sfu+X]$ So at the moment I can't run X under wine on Linux just for the fun of it and the delight of saying I can ... ;( Anyone got any ideas?
