Quoting IsotonicDislikedi've been using it for one year and no problems to report. even the code editor and context help is working.
actually this is a huge milestone for the ordinary desktop user who trades since it means there is no real reason to pay for windows or indeed vista when it comes out. since so many brokers use mt4 as their 3rd party chart and execution platform.
sadly most people will still follow the microsoft herd...Ignored
Quoting kingforexDislikedThanks for the info. I guess you need less RAM than on Windows, but how much in order for it to run properly ?Ignored
Quoting ycompDislikedI had not realized you could run win32 programs on linux prior to seeing this thread. So I decided to install linux in virtual PC to see if it would be good to run my EAs, linux I mean - not virtual PC w/linux - that is just a test.
I tried to get SUSE but it was impossible to download even the torrent file. So I tried Ubuntu, which didn't work. But then I tried Ubuntu 6.06 (an old version) and it installed in VPC.
Ubuntu seems to be a much more straightforward install than linux OSes I've tried in the past... like RedHat, Gentoo, etc. Also there is no weird mouse cursor pointing in the wrong direction with it, I guess maybe only KDE had that problem?
I ran winetools with the latest release of wine (I think). Actually how do I find out what version I have of wine? I installed a bunch of crap including IE from winetools and all the fonts.
Although the EA smiley face doesn't work, it shows a J instead of the smiley. So I'm not sure if I installed that properly.
And the MetaEditor doesn't run, it crashes with a big exception dump.
I think winetools was warning about the wine release being too new, and thus untested. Maybe I should try it with an older wine version.
I think it doesn't matter what flavour of Linux I run, does it? Could someone tell me if Ubuntu itself could possibly be the problem... or is it more likely how I installed wine, winetools, etc.?Ignored
Quoting ettinoDislikedWinetools does not support the last versions of wine, and therefore the font it must put them in the /home/.wine/c/windows/fonts folder, by hand.
At the moment i dont know which are the fonts necessary, therefore if you have the possibility to copy them from windows copied all the.Ignored
Quoting njfxDislikedJust curious, IIRC Mac OSX is a linus variant. Does anyone know if the Linux version of MetaTrader run under OSX?Ignored
Quoting gpw797DislikedI had same problem, can't change inputs in dialog boxesIgnored
Quoting ycompDislikedguess you weren't able to resolve this?
If I can't get this to work, in order to use MT4 in linux I'll have to either set templates / profiles up on a windows PC and then copy it over or modify and recompile EAs/Indicators so that the new parameters I want are hardcoded as defaults in the EAs/Indicators.Ignored
