Hello,

I thought it might be useful to have a thread where people could share any info on getting PC Manager working on Linux. Whether it'll actually lead anywhere remains to be seen :)

Here's what I've tried...

Debian's repository only has an ancient version of Wine, so I installed version 1.2 from the source code. There's an impressive list of dependencies, but it turns out it's easy to compile it on Debian, it just takes a while!

Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
(navigate to extracted source)
./configure
make depend
make
sudo make install

Download and install the latest version of PC Manager from FunGP:

Code:
wine Setup.exe

Running it gives a Jet/DAO error, this can be resolved with:

Code:
wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks 
sh winetricks jet40

Now PC Manager seems to run without error, and is able to browse folders on the Caanoo, but it won't detect the device!

Any ideas? :)
