VB 2008 should produce "managed code" which is a set of .exe´s and .dll´s, all of them compatible with mono in linux. No need for VMware or Wine.
(unless you use something very specific to windows, such as an "unmanaged" third-party dll). To run your app in Ubuntu you need all the same libraries that your project uses in windows; most of mono´s libraries can be found with Synaptics (or "Add/Remove programs" in Ubuntu), just search for mono and look for the libraries you want. the next thing as Chris said, would be the right-clicking or doing "mono path/to/your/app.exe" in a terminal.... If you have trouble with the needed libraries, I would suggest downloading the latest binary installer (for "other linux") in mono´s site. It usually works better than the mono version which is shipped by default with some Ubuntu versions... greetings and good luck Victor PS: your english looks kind of OK :-P On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 9:21 PM, arnomedia <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I made a litle software with VB 2008 Express on Windows XP.
