Re: strawberry perl in wine?

If your goal is to test your app running in a Windows environment would you not be better using a VM solution such as Virtualbox or VMware? I realise that you need a licence for whatever version of Windows you want to use, however this way you know that any tests that fail are purely related to your app running under windows.

Thanks, Martin and Zentara, for your replies. This is an OSS app that I'm not selling for money, so I don't really want to pay money for a copy of Windows just so I can support Windows users.	[reply]

In that case perhaps you may be able to find someone who does run windows who can test your app and help with any platform specific problems. Martin	[reply]
