Windows apps can be run on linux desktop and notebook computers with x86 processors by using wine. The 770 and N800 have ARM processors, and therefore wine won't work on them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Thank you for your quick reply John.

I heard some "rumors" about that :) but I was thinking that must be a way...a mini-debian-wine version or smth like that to "emulate" ...
whatever , so is nothing we can do with that little windows progs or utility to run on our little "machines" ?

if somebody ported a virtual machine emulator such as dosbox, bacus or similar you might be able to do it. Why do you want to run windows apps anyway? is there something in particular you need?

Hi,

I have made a small patch has put in some basic framework for winedbg
and wineserver for compiling on ARM (i think so). See WineHQ #285
(http://www.winehq.com/?issue=285#Cro...piling%20Wine).
I donot have an ARM based machine and linux installed on it.
And havent test it thorughly, I need someone to test this one.
This patch may contain some bugs, use at your own risk.

Please send me your comments

Thanks,
VJ"
