LabVIEW Application for Linux

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

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.

Yes, the Linux version loads Windows VI just fine. But you need the
development environment, since the RTE can't compile the windows VI's to
Linux.

There are some points that don't work. For instance, concatenating to a path
fails, if you add more then one directory at once (add dir1\dir2). Since
Linux uses backslashes as path seperators. And, all paths in general will be
different.

ActiveX won't work at all.

Some hardware isn't supported on Linux, so you need to check this.

The rest is pretty much the some.

Regards,

Wiebe.

maybe the question is really stupid...

are the Mac based labVIEW application compatible with Linux?

No, Mac OS and Linux are different OS's, just like Windows and Linux are
different.
