Do you have any plans to support Linux platform?

Many thanks for your question.

Yes, I would like to add support for the Linux platform.

However, I have a very long list of requests for new functionality, which I am pleased to say. I would like to fulfil as many as possible of all the good and useful requests.

This has the downside, unfortunately, that there is no time available to involve in a porting project.

I fully support the wish for a Linux version. The new 'Ubuntu' is very streamlined and easy to updata and install applications.

Best regards Torben Caroc

There is a similar wish from a number of users for a Macintosh version.

As much as I would like to fulfil these wishes, there is unfortunately no chance that I'll be able to port Condes to neither a Unix/Linux environment nor a Macintosh environment in a forseeable future :-(

I'm not an expert in these matters, but I am told that there are solutions for both operating systems to host Windows applications or to run Windows as a secondary operating system on the same hardware.

Hi,

I can tell that I organized an event this Sunday, and my computer is Linux :-)
I was able to run Condes just fine under vmware: [www.vmware.com] but that's kind of cheating because you still need to run Windows.

I tried to run Condes under wine: [www.winehq.org] . It installs and starts, but the maps are drawn horribly, each line is about 2cm wide, which makes the map unreadable.

For a screenshot go to [mihai.ibanescu.net] . This is running with wine 0.9.28 on a Foresight Linux (http://www.foresightlinux.org) system. This was true as of Condes 7.5.10.

I would love to not have to run Windows at all, so Finn, if you want any help debugging this I can definitely try to help.

Since there was talk about condes for linux more than a year ago I will try it again. Is there any chance for linux version. Or may be just fixing that "thick lines" while using wine and opening ocad files, otherwise it is working. Does anybody has clue where can be error, ocad6 is running fine under the wine, but in Condes all lines on the ocad map are very very very thick.
thanks

I'll be happy to try to find out what causes the lines to be think when running under Wine.

Since I don't have access to Linux and Wine, I would need to work with someone who has, and who would be willing to help with some experimenting.

regards,
Finn
