GWM on WINE/VMware

**jimbo123** · 26-03-08, 11:42 AM

Does anyone know if GWM will function within a WINE setup ? or VMware workstation running on a Linux host ?

I thought I read a post where it was mentioned that WINE was a no-go, but can't find it, or my search skills are not up to scratch

But what about VMware ?

dont think comms on vmware works properly mate.

i havnt tried gwm but ive tried some other software that required the comms port and it was a no go. this was about 6months ago. they might have fixed up the problem but as far as im aware its a no.

report back though

cheers

I think I heard that a guy on another forum has done it with Vmware.

That sounds positive,... will have to give this a try now.

I have got it working within Vmware under ubuntu as the host OS and winxp pro sp2 as the guest os - taking to the first com port.

works well.

z80 - i might have been the one you saw on another forum with it working

Excellent. Just have to find some time now.

Any gotchas ?? Or pretty much straight forward ??

Fiesty is what I'll be trying it on.

You could also try virtual box. It worked well for me and its free.
