[Coco] Phoenix IDE - Ubuntu 10.04 under Wine

[Andrew]

Well,

I downloaded the latest version of Roger's Phoenix IDE, using the link 
he provided (0003). I noticed that it was an EXE file for install (I was 
hoping for something that I could compile under Mono - oh well). So - I 
figured I would install Wine (been meaning to try it out anyhow).

So I installed the version that is in the 10.04 repository (Wine 1.2.2). 
It installed fine; I then tried running the Phoenix IDE installer. That 
ran fine and installed OK too. I then tried to run the Phoenix IDE from 
the Wine menu entry - no dice. Trying the command it was using from the 
command line indicated that it needed the "Windows version of Mono" 
(.NET Framework) installed; so I went to Microsoft's site to download 
and install it.

The only problem was that I didn't know which one the Phoenix IDE was 
developed under; I first tried 2.0 - that didn't fully install. I tried 
other versions (all the way up to 4.something) - the only one to 
completely and successfully install under Wine was v1.1. All the others 
would only get partway, then fail the installation.

Right now, I'm not willing to spend any further effort trying to get 
.NET installed under Wine...

I might try installing EagleCAD though...
