I really want to get Basic4ppc running in linux, currently with .net installed basic4ppc runs but fails to load/show your source. After debugging, the problem seems to be with ole32.dll (while loading the text box.)
The library file ole32.dll, is required by windows and is used when performing OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) operations . OLE allows objects created in one application to be embedded in documents/objects created by a different applications e.g. embedding an Excel spreadsheet inside a Word document.
Here is the output:
Code:
joel@joel-laptop:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/joel/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4ppc Desktop\Basic4ppc Desktop.exe"

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"ActiproSoftware.WinUICore.Net20.resources"
The output gives an error with CoGetContextToken which is associated with ole32.dll
Replacing the dll with the windows system dll causes wine to crash, so i'm now at a loss for what to do next.
