Hello,
I have got AmiBroker and AmiQuote working on Linux, and I want to share
what I have learned in the process with those that might be interested.
First, let me thank Marek for providing the Howto and his config file.
This was a big help to get AmiBroker running.
Using Wine release 20030115, Amibroker's Help works fine, including the
direct access to function reference from Automatic Analysis, for
instance (I use AmiBroker 4.29.6 and AmiQuote 1.52). Also, plug-ins dll
seem to load ok.
To get functions requiring Internet access, such as View Profile and
AmiQuote, to work, I had to change the connection settings of Internet
Explorer to access through local network, so that it use the Linux
connection.
Thus I can for example get AmiQuote to refresh quotes every minute from
Yahoo Current.
Here are the settings for Wine that I use (added them to the default
config file that comes with Wine) :
[AppDefaults\\broker.exe\\DllOverrides]
"shlwapi" = "native"
"rpcrt4" = "native"
"ole32" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shfolder" = "native"
"shell32" = "native"
"shell" = "native"
"wininet" = "native"
"crypt32" = "native"
"urlmon" = "native"
"comctl32" = "native"
"oleaut32" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"riched32" = "native"
"msnet32" = "native"
[AppDefaults\\quote.exe\\DllOverrides]
"shlwapi" = "native"
"rpcrt4" = "native"
"ole32" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shfolder" = "native"
"shell32" = "native"
"shell" = "native"
"wininet" = "native"
"crypt32" = "native"
"urlmon" = "native"
;"comctl32" = "native" # use builtin to run together with broker
"oleaut32" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"riched32" = "native"
"msnet32" = "native"
Of course, as Wine is still in alpha stage, there are some limitations.
Here are two that I have encountered so far with my setup :
- (a cosmetic) one is that part of the background of some dialog
windows, such as Automatic Analysis, is not properly repainted and shows
the underlying graphics ;
- it seems that after AmiQuote has used the Internet connection, Profile
View cannot do it. And reciproqually. So I have to choose which one to
use, or restart AmiBroker.
I'll be glad to answer any related question if I can, or to hear about
how to solve these two little problems.
By the way, if you've read this far, you might be interested by the
