Jacob Moena 🇩🇰What a time to be alive! 😊
Running Windows 7 in VirtualBox on Linux, to program for the Commodore 64 (running inside of Windows 7)
Marcin Cieślak@jacmoe which editor are you using for BASIC?
@saper I am using CBM .prg Studio, which unfortunately is Windows only :

It is great, which is why I am doing what I'm doing with VirtualBox, being a Linux guy in general. :)
@saper It's VB.NET 😉
Yes, I probably *could* wrangle it to make it run in Linux under Mono, but I am more interested in actually using the program, than spending time with Mono to make it run on my box :)
Besides, I do have Windows 7, so why not ?
@jacmoe it could be as simple as mono program.exe :)
I'll check, maybe
I'll check, maybe
@saper I can't be *that* simple! 😜
Still, not sure if that would break the Vice integration.
If you try it, you will probably let me know :)
@jacmoe how does the integration work? Can't find anything in the vice manual
@saper I meant from CBM .prg Studio - it calls Vice with the name of the prg.
And the debugger also does something.
I don't have much time to look into this; especially when VBox, etc. "just works" 😋
Alessio Biancalana 💻@jacmoe hahah this is awesome. My daily driver runs 2 VMs usually inside the host OS, and we went to the moon with way less shit
@dottorblaster @jacmoe so, I gave CBM prg a try on mono with mono Visual Basic components installed (also needed : libgdiplus emulator).
CBM prg will not run because one of the libraries it is using goes directly to native Win32 libraries to do things:
@jacmoe @dottorblaster @[email protected] sorry I missed you
@saper @dottorblaster I installed 'dotnet35sp1' before installing CBM prg Studio, and then copied an unzipped WinVICE into my WINE home directory (users/jacmoe)
@jacmoe @dottorblaster @stylus
With WINE it should work, yes.
@saper @dottorblaster Ah, right: I misread your post.
You are using mono directly - yes, that probably poses a challenge..
