Hmm, where to begin... The very name of WINE itself stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". It does not do ANY CPU emulation. So, running QPC is downright out. Actually there is a WINE port for ARM, but it only works with Windows apps that have been cross-compiled for the ARM architecture (QPC, being much assembler code, cannot be cross compiled). Additionally there is a way to employ the QEMU x86 emulator, but I somehow doubt running an unsupported QEMU solution on such a slow and limited platform would really work or be anything near usable. > More specifically, SuperBasic is "just" a language - albeit a good one. > So I suppose someone could write a SuperBasic interpreter/compiler in, > say C, to be packaged up and/or compiled from source on any Linux. While this is true, most power of the language comes from its extensions and these would all have to be rewritten, too.
