Cvi for Linux?

[raf]

Hello!
I use LW/CVI for a lot of applications, so there are some ideas to
support it also in Linux?
Maybe runtime and compiler only? Maybe runtime only?
Maybe a little support to run in Wine?(WindowsEmulator: I have tried it,
and it have troubles while CVIRTE init routine call Display
Configuration settings).
Any plan for the future? (LabView work so well under Linux....)
Thanks!,

We have had that suggestion and are continuing to monitor demand for CVI on the Linux OS. We currently have not seen enough demand to start development, but are always continuing to collect feedback.

The current CVI RTE is heavily dependent on win32 so it won't run in emulators that support only a core of the win32 functionality.

Hello everyone,

In an attempt to try to catch everyone who might have a LabWindows/CVI and Linux or Real-Time interest, I'm going to repost this information in this thread as well. I know this thread has been going on for a few years now, but I wanted to update whoever is interested in the latest LabWindows/CVI modules that we've released to try to address your multiplatform support needs:

So we now have a Real-Time Module, which allows you to develop LabWindows/CVI apps on a Windows machine and run on a real-time PXI or PC target.

Also, to partly address the main subject of this thread, in August, we release the Run-Time Module for Linux, which similarly allows you to develop on a Windows machine as you always have with CVI, and then run your application on multiple Linux distributions.

That's a brief overview of the latest modules, but if you want more information on what hardware is supported and also a more in-depth discussion on the module, take a look at the following resources:

Thanks.
