windows pipes emulation

fachamix · 11-02-2009, 08:53 AM

I have a problem running a native windows software on a pc running linux ubuntu 9.04.

we run the program using WINE (last), but, wine doest not suport the windows pipe communication system yet.

is there another emulator like wine or something else that emulates the pipe communication system used in windows ???

we do NOT want to use a virtual machine like virtual box, etc.

You can look at the paid version of wine at [http://www.codeweavers.com ]
and see if their version supports pipes. Also , a cruder solution might be to save data as files, then read those files back into other programs....

thanks a lot for the reply people.

this is what i found, I have sned emails to the programmers of wine, cedega, and crossover.

Wine does NOT suport
Cedega, does NOT support

CrossOver ..... does NOT support.

there is no compatibility layer with the pipe system used iin windows.... for now.

Why ? Because they need money to continue building their software ?
At least Codeweavers contributes heavily to the development of Wine..
