I have not had good experiences running the staff client under Wine, but I didn't try very hard either. The staff client on Linux has worked well for me (development only, not a production library).
I do it like this: # Make a place for it: mkdir Evergreen-2.3; cd Evergreen-2.3 # Get XUL Runner wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/16.0/runtimes/xulrunner-16.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 tar -jxf xulrunner-16.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 # Get my Staff Client (evergreen-work is my build server) rsync -av root@evergreen-work:/usr/src/Evergreen/Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/build/ ./staff_client/ # Extensions ftw! rsync -av root@evergreen-work:/usr/src/Evergreen/Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/extensions/ ./staff_client/extensions/ # Run it ./xulrunner/xulrunner-bin --app ./staff_client/application.ini --uilocale en-us --ilshost evergreen-work --ilsuser egsa --ilspassword egsa It's been working very well for me, 32 and 64bits; I have to "manually" install XULRunner cause it's not in the packages for Gentoo. My friend Travis is trying to make it run on the RaspberryPi ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/) - which would be the coolest/lowest cost deployment for a self-checkout (IMO) -- David Busby Edoceo, Inc. http://edoceo.com/ 206.282.6500 On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 9:10 AM, Sharp, Chris <[email protected]>wrote: > On Ubuntu 10.04, you should bet able to do 'sudo apt-get install > xulrunner', then copy/rsync the "build" directory from your source > directory located at OpenILS/xul/staff_client (or should be after you've > built the server) to your client machine.
