hello,
I'm very new to the linux environment and have a question regarding WINE and the motorola A780 Linux smartphone. I need to run a very simple windows app for customer managment etc, that is only availible on windows, (company specific) but is there a chance I could run this on a smartphone? for mor info on the phone please go here. Thanks!
Ok, it won't let me post a link, but if you for the A780 from motorola, you'll see it....
If you read the wine page youd already see its for x86 architechtures.... Since motorola has their own line of processors, its pretty safe to assume they are NOT using an x86 processor.
It would be really stupid to emulate x86 to run wine to emulate windows... The speed and processor drain on a cell phone would be pointless. Linux has to have something comparable somewhere.
if u are any kind of hack with assembly, you could alter the wine code urself, but as suggested, wine would be slow.
A system emulator would be cooler anyways like qemu for a780.... dont think that there is a moto version yet, but if theres enough geek power in the world, then it will be available one day. For now why not just a linux alternative, or just write one urself, if it is such a simple app.
