Under Windows XP, Can Labview generate an exe file that can run under linux?

[Sean_usc]

I am just wondering if it is possible. because for our applciaiton, we are doing real time stuffs. we want to high speed data transfering and processing. someone told me that the most efficent codes should be C plus Linux platform.

but that might be time coonsuming. If labview can generate an exe file which can be used under linux. things will be much easier for me. maybe that is a only a dream for me. Hope the dream could become true.

While I never used linux, I highly doubt this. A 99.99999999573% doubt, to be exact.
you can't run a windows application on a mac or on old versions of windows - it's quite simply a completely different system. Plus, I'm not even sure linux has EXE files.
I think you can use a windows emulator to run these files, but I doubt this will work well if you have hardware, and will probably even be slower than windows(due to the emulation).
All that said, you should be able write VIs in LV windows and then open them in LV linux and build the application, assuming they don't have windows dependant code. Also, what do you mean by real-time? If you're doing real real-time-absolutly-can't-fail stuff, a PC won't be the right thiing anyway. If a machine has window without a lot of junk in it, it's stable. We have used this kind of setup with windows XP and it is stable. I think your real question should be "has anyone done benchmarks on my kind of LV applications in windows vs. linux". Hope this helps.

If I understand your problem, you could purchase the LabView version for Linux?

Also, I think you should evaluate what the needs really are and there is likely a way to accomplish on any platform. If you are more specific, I am sure someone here will help.

Many windows exe's work under WINE. WINE is a windows environment for linux. I have no idea if LabVIEW or a LabVIEW exe will work under WINE, but you might give it a shot.

Hi,

While I never tried to port a .exe file that was built in Windows to a Linux system and I really doubt that it is possible, I know that the code itself is portable. You can develop a VI in windows and use it directly in Linux (except for the instruments drivers, of course).

Good luck
