Dear friends:

I got a 11.5 and 10.5 Power Builder applications at office and these are working well with Windows XP.

I want to know if these Power Builder applications can work over Linux (Debian). (In my work to need change XP for Linux)

But, I don´t experience in this. I need information or have a tip or tips to solve this problem, (How I know to do it?) I really appreciate.

Thanks a lot

It's not clear what are you trying to do. Are you wanting to run Power Builder under Linux, OR are you wanting to run applications that you (or someone else) programmed using Power Builder?

I was discerning with two alternatives:

To run Power Builder with wine, check the Wine database.

If you want to compile programs that you wrote using Power Builder as Linux native applications, I guess it will depend on the concrete program. .NET apps might have a chance using mono, I have no direct experience, someone else will have to answer that.

Actually, I have application with PB 10.5 and PB 11.5 than run correctly in XP.

But, I need to change Linux.
