Paid help, who?

Post by pvdv »

Hello,

A customer wants to have a custom Windows application running under Linux with Wine. The source code is available and could be changed. The program is a GUI and MS-SQL client originally written in Borland C++Builder 5, and later switched to Borland C++Builder 10.3.1 (from Embarcadero).

The developer made a hello-world GUI program with BorlandC++ Builder and this works fine with Wine. But when he adds the database component there are problems. When I use the 64-bits binary I get "OLE error 80004001". When I use the 32-bits binary I get "Unhandled page fault on read access to FF000000 at address FF000000".

Any tips who would be good in getting this to work from the Wine-side?

With regards,

When I look at the Codeweavers site, I find only this: https://www.codeweavers.com/execmode , and so far I understand is this more for large organizations. Or am I wrong?

Thanks, I overlooked this. But I still think it's to much money for my customer. Realize it's an internal planning application, not an application they sell. Another point is that I would like to get it work with Wine because that's 100% open source and gets security support from the Linux distro.

If there is somebody reading this and wants to help, please contact. Or when you know somebody who could do this, please tell.

If this is a really difficult thing to do, please tell too.

You didn't mention what Wine version you're using. If it's not the latest development release, try that. If the problem is present in current Wine, file a bug. https://bugs.winehq.org/
