Virtual PC for linux - Problem with VMware-installation
Does anybody know of a software, you can use to emulate a second PC on linux? I'm looking for something like Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 for linux...
If there is a program like that, I could install Windows on it and use it to run programs that aren't ported to linux..... |
VMWare - this is asked an awful lot on LQ....... It's not free though, there is a cost.

Of course, outside of the emalator sphere, Wine, Cedega and Crossover are the holy trinity that will let you run lots of windows programs on linux.

imho much better than bochs. Doesn't quite compare to VMWare, but for a "gifted horse" :} Cheers, Tink |
I finally managed to get VMware. Only that it doesen't start on my SuSE 9.1 64-Bit... When I try to run it, I get the Message

And, did you follow the scripts great advise?

I did. It didn't get me any further though
|
Does anybody have an idea what these error messages mean???
|
I was wondering if you ever resolved this problem? Not to mention, I have the exactly same problem.

I haven't resolved it yet. It does run on my Laptop (SuSE 9.1 32-Bit), but I couldn't get it to run on my PC (SuSE 9.1 64-Bit) yet.

Hey, try using Wine. I've been able to run Winzip, Adobe, AOL Communicator, mIRC, IE6, and more using it. See if that helps you any?

I actually found the solution in another forum. Basically, you cd to the appropriate directory (/usr/bin/and the appropriate linux directory) and then run
make cloneconfig and make As far as I understand, this will create the appropriate .config file and all appropriate objects. You also need to make sure that you have the kernel sources installed...The same thing works with Suse 9.2 |
Hi there !!!
Yes the solution given by medvedm is correct (but a bit slow because you will be building a new kernel), if you want to do this just do: Code:
cd /usr/src/linux && make cloneconfig && make 1.- Go to the "/usr/src" directory and then you should find a folder called "linux-obj" 2.- Enter that folder and you should find a new folder depending your kernel architecture (in my case "i386") 3.- Then you should find another folder containing the kernel build type (in my case "default") 4.- And finally a folder called "scripts," just copy all the binaries to the original (/usr/src/linux/scripts) folder 5.- Run the "vmware-config.pl" again. So basically the path is something like this: Code:
/usr/src/linux-obj/<arch>/<build>/scripts Hope it helps |
