------- Additional Comments From arunasp@lycos.com 2005-24-10 04:47 ------- To get Metatrader 4 running:
1) Download and install IE6 with sidenet wine configuaruration utility. HOWTO is here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine 2) Run Metatrader4 setup under wine.
After these steps you should get it running, just with 3 known problems which need to get solved due unknown bugs/hacks in wine code for me:
Problem #1 - You will see no menu/toolbars icons and no label text on it,only description in bottom of window.
Problem #2 - when you atach custom indicator in Metatrader, indicator "Input" parameters window shows parameters but those parameters cannot be edited. In Winx it's editor boxes which do not work under wine for unknown reason.
Problem #3 - when you open and edit indicator/expert, help about MQL4 functions, etc do not work, - you can select needed item in help window list but you get empty help window in bottom(in winx it shows help text in formated html about selected item)
If someone would take and handle those problems with submiting wine patches, it would be great to get running that trading platform in Linux/*BSD... :-)
