I'm currently using Linux as my main OS and I run some Windows applications via Wine. Let say I'm running Notepad under Wine for example purposes. Is there a way I can access the text entered in notepad from Linux ? (Java, C, C++, C#/mono).
Language doesn't matter
Thanks in advance
If the file is saved than you can share the file. If it is not saved I double you will find a solution. may be it can be coded but it will be very hard to do it!

Okay I am new to Embedded Linux development.
Right now, I am trying to setup the development environment as efficiently as possible.
I have a python code running on a lightweight Linux based device, that is located remotely
So far I was able to setup my VS Code on my Windows system, in such a way that I can edit the files directly on the remote Linux device.
I followed the instructions below
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh-tutorial
Now that I am able to edit my files directly, I face only one obstacle.
I find it hard to traverse to a function/method definition.
In my windows system, I could just Ctrl+LeftClick on a method/function, and it would take me there.
But here when I opened VS Code with the terminal running remotely, I have to do a Ctrl+F and search in the VS Code editor, which is like working on a notepad.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
On my main windows system, I am able to jump to method definitions quickly by Ctrl+LefClick-ing them.
Hope the question is clear enough.
Install the Python extension on the remote server and select the Python interpreter on the Linux device in VS code:
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to bring up the command palette and run the command Python: Select Interpreter.
I'm trying to run macOS on my windows 10 laptop. But everytime I boot my system it tries to find a startup.nsh file, I know how to create a .nsh file its just that my virtual box is not letting me type at all. I even tried to use the soft "virtual" keyboard but still nothing. Does anyone have a fix?
Making a macOS VM on windows is not simple as any other operating systems, there is many tutorials for that like :https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/macos-windows-10-virtual-machine/
This is because apple makes it's software only for it's products and isn't made to be compatible for other devices out of the box.
I'm usually using VM/linux to run scripts, copying script using putty
or writing them directly there, but some times too many opened windows is not that comfortable..
I was recently trying to run shell script, using RUN option in Notepad++
to use build in Ubuntu in win10 anniversary, but can't really manage to get the right syntax to do it.. and didn't find any plugin to do so..
I would appreciate if anyone can put me to the right path in this one.
I found that it is also possible to do it using sygwin, by C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "command.sh" but again its an extra software piece... and bit far from natural Linux environment, and slight different paths etc..
there is also a solutions to run some shell IDE using X11 using Xming, to work with Linux VM without switching between the opened windows. but in this case Question is the where can I find a proper shell IDE for linux, capable to run shell scripts directly from it, without living the IDE window, like all other IDE's do ?
any real solution would be appreciated.
It will NOT replace a pure Linux environment but, it is a closest I've seen

Many of my users have been telling me that they'd like to run my software on their Linux machines under Wine.
But I'm a Windows Developer who has practically no experience with Linux.
Now I could spend a month or two installing Linux, learning Linux, installing Wine, learning Wine, and thoroughly ensure my application runs well under Wine. But I am still developing for Windows, so I don't want to take so much time away from development right now.
So what can I do without too much effort to get my program running as well as possible under Wine?
I did find this General help on running applications under Wine.
Download VMWare and an Ubuntu virtual machine (Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution) from the VMWare site. This will provide you with a working Linux O/S inside your Windows environment without needing to install Linux manually.
You can then use the instructions here to install Wine, that Wiki page also provides you with some instructions on how to use it.
If you follow what Adam Rosenfield suggested and just try running your application in Wine unmodified, you will be able to determine quickly whether there are problems. My guess would be that there are some, otherwise your users would not have contacted you about it :)
There are many ways for getting help with debugging applications in Wine, consult the website for options and pick a few ways that suit you. As always, it's best not to rely on a single channel for communication.
Also, if you are more comfortable with developing in Windows, the approach of using a virtual machine will allow you to compile your code as usual in Windows and copy the binary into the virtual machine for testing (Ubuntu supports browsing/mounting Windows shares).
As long as you're not doing anything unusual such as playing around with hardware or poking around in undocumented API calls and data structures, you should be able to run your code under Wine with few or no modifications. Wine has a fairly complete implementation of the public Windows APIs, so if your program plays nice and doesn't mess around, it should just work.
Don't use too much of the windows API! Don't use anything new from Microsoft ;)
Avoid using WPF is the #1 suggestion.
But it really wouldn't kill you to test your app under Wine. It's not that hard to try; it certainly won't take months. For instance:
Use http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#wubi to install
Ubuntu into a file on your Windows machine, then start ubuntu and install the latest Wine from
http://winehq.org/download/deb
Then try running your app's installer.
If it doesn't work, check the Wine FAQ, ask for help in one of the wine forums, and/or file bugs in wine's bug tracker.
Should take about three hours from a dead start to trying out your installer.
I was rather surprised when one of my Delphi5 applications just worked out of the zip.
The only real way this is going to work is to do it yourself, i.e. install vmware and a linux distro as Sean suggested. Linux isn't actually that hard, and we're all here to help.
Having done a quick test I can confirm that it largely works. There is an ACCVIO reading 0x34 during start up, the error dialog can be ignored and the application runs, I opened the Steve McCarthy GEDCOM.

This was using Wine 1.1.12 under MEPIS 7.9.94-rc1_32 under VMWare. Highly recommend to use VMWare for this sort of thing.
What language/platform do you develop with? Depending on which it is, it should be no trouble to get it running native. For example, if you use Java or Python, both operate very cleanly on Linux. Likewise, if you're a .NET developer, you should be able, with some pain, to get your app running in Mono.
Find Linux beta testers. It can reports a bug to WINE developers or find a bug in your application.
Wine is more sensitive to errors than Windows. For example, Wine will crash on NULL window handles, and fail to create windows if the class is invalid, whereas Windows is more robust and will just circumvent the error.
It's an opportunity to clean up your code.
I was amazed at how well Wine ran my app the first time I tried. However, I had to get rid of a third-party driver-based component.
Without using any third party program to do this (i.e. without VMware ThinApp, U3 or MojoPac etc.) How to move MSVC++ 6.0 from from its install on C: over to a USB drive? So that it can be used on different PCs with no admin rights and without installing anything on the host PC? Even if it's only usable as a console application would be fine, although to have the GUI including Visual Assist etc. would be even better.
Move the two folders that install created under c:\program files\ to the USB drive (e.g. to e:\progs\msvc\msvc6 and e:\progs\msvc\vc98), and append to the file e:\progs\msvc\vc98\bin\vcvars32.bat to suit e.g.
prompt $g
set path=e:\progs\uedit;e:\progs\utl;%PATH%
e:
cd e:\work
start e:\progs\uedit\uedit32.exe /i=e:\progs\uedit\uedit32.ini
cmd /k
Using a shortcut to vcvars32.bat then works fine for doing any simple console programming, which is all I’m using it for so far. I don’t know how well any of the GUI type programs in the tools folder will function.
I am not sure exactly how one would do that.
Here are a few ideas.
The installation procedure creates at least two sets of directories, so you could direct both of them onto the usb drive.
The installation procedure creates a bat file, that sets up the environment variables correctly for command line execution. Modifying it to point to the correct drive letter when your memory stick loads on the other machine may be important.
There are also registry entries for vc 6. Extracting them, and having a script of some sort to load them onto your target machine when needed, might be useful.
Is there a specific reason why vc 6 is required? Would another compiler do?
I haven't done this, but it should "just" be a matter of:
Copying all the application files to a USB drive. Remember there will be shared files and stuff that may need to go into the Windows directory.
Identifying and copying all of the registry entries, although you may need to be admin to create some of these on the target machine.
That's a heck of a lot of work, for little gain in my opinion. I think there may be a command line only version of the Visual C++ tool chain that may better suit your requirements. IIRC it was released to help people create build bots for open source projects, like the Mozilla Tinderbox, and includes the VC++ 7.0 compiler.
