@User988582 I use Sierra on Arch under Wine. You can simply install Wine from the Arch Extra repository (sudo pacman -S wine), then download SC installer and execute it with Wine. In the installation dialogue, make sure you change the default 'Z:\' installation path to 'C:\'; otherwise, the installer will fail. Once installation is complete, you can find the SierraChart folder in the .wine/drive_c/SierraChart path in your home folder. If you already have Sierra installed on your Windows computer, I recommend to simply delete the contents of the newly installed Sierra folder in .wine/drive_c/SierraChart and copy over the contents of your existing SierraChart folder from your Windows computer. It will work straight away and you won't have to set everything up from scratch. You can run the instance directly from the folder. If you want to create additional instances, you can simply make a copy of the existing folder and rename it and start the .exe from within the new folder. One note on Wine: the recent version 11.17 reportedly has serious issues with mouse click behaviour, menus, etc. Wine 11.16 works perfectly. I have not tested Wine 11.18 yet, but supposedly, based on the WineHQ board reports, the issues have been fixed/patched. If you experience strange mouse, window or menu behaviour with the latest version of Wine 11.18 that you installed from the Extra repository, you can simply downgrade to version 11.16. You can even stay with 11.16 since around the end of year wine 12 will arrive as usual. Hope this helps. |
