No, it means that Wine won't help with the port. Google Earth (in Google's hands via an acquisition - they didn't run the project from the start), is built on Qt and a bunch of custom GL stuff. So while Qt runs on Linux (of course), there's a stack of other code they have to port, little of which Wine will help with. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "Well, the English don't have any experience with terrorism..." - Fox News on London Blasts -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
