hi, all,
If I wanna apply the LabVIEW executable files developed in Windows system to Linux platform, what should I do? Except install LabVIEW RunTime Engine for Linux, do I need to buy NI LabVIEW Professional Development System for Linux and redo my code?
Or just buy NI LabVIEW Application Builder for Linux and rebuild the code for Linux platform.
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Hi Jeanney,

Mike,
Thanks for your quick reply. Do I need to start coding from scratch in Linux for this transition? Or is that possible to apply the project developed in Windows to Linux platform and revise it to fit the Linux platform? I am wondering how much effort involved in this change.

Hi Jean,
afaik you can copy your code to linux and open it with the labview development system for linux.

Hi Jean,
We have done this 2 years back - migrated applications from Windows to Debian Linux. You would need the LabVIEW Professional Development System for Linux. You can open your Windows application in Linix - replace anyWindows specific functionalities and recompile the code to create your executable. The biggest issue that we faced after the migration was with the font changes we had to do in each UI. It will work better if you save your UI fonts to be Helvetica or Arial before you open them in Linux.

maybe the question is really stupid...
are the Mac based labVIEW application compatible with Linux?
