Will the Windows version of LifeLines work on Unix-like systems with wine?

0

Yes, the Windows version of LifeLines can be installed on Unix-like systems with wine. Since LifeLines is a console mode program, the command to start it is not “wine C:\LifeLines\lines.exe”, but “wineconsole Lines.exe Databases/databasename”. A bash script to launch it would look something like this: #!/bin/bash cd /home/username/.wine/drive_c/lifelines/ wineconsole Lines.exe Databases/databasename NOTE: The Windows version of LifeLines on Linux has about the same performance as the Windows version on Windows. The Linux version is much faster than the Windows version. Using the Windows version of LifeLines on a Unix-like operating system with wine is best for supporting Windows users, to better see what they are seeing if you do not have a Windows PC.
