Flare on Linux box, via Wine

Post by kevinmcl »

Is anybody successfully using via Wine, on a Linux platform?



If not Wine, then is there any other method that works for anybody?

Thanks,

Not that I know (I don't have time for this, unfortunately), but since Flare is .NET you may want to give Mono a try. Mono is the reengineered .NET runtime environment for Linux.

MoMA says "no".

Oh well.

I'd ask a Linux expert not the Museum of Modern Art.....or what is MoMA?

MoMA is the Mono Migration Analyzer, a tool to check how close an app is to being usable in Mono. It generates a report that shows the problem areas that would need addressing, whether by the application's creators (if they cared to make their app Mono-supportable) or by the Mono developers (if they considered the app to be sufficiently popular to warrant them directing their efforts to that end).

Never heard of that tool, thanks for mentioning it. Hmmmmm, I wonder if filing an enhancement request here would have any chance. It's worth a try and it may just open the door to run Flare on a Mac as well.

Done.

Now do we need a bunch of Linux fanatics to stuff the ballot box for this enhancement?
