 Posted: Mon, 5th Dec 2005 16:17 Post subject: need a good linux emulator for windows |
|
 |
my problem is that, in order to work with suse linux, i have to reboot the comp and hence shut down all the processes, ie. downloads etc.
i was searching for a linux emulator on windows which has all the important built-in apps.
i finally got coLinux working an hour ago but the prob is it doesnt have any apps that i need like emacs, xterm etc.
can anyone tell me if there is an emulator running full linux, for example suse?

when you talking about a windows/linux emulator there are only one you can use. VMWare

I tried a few distro's then SuSE 9 and havent used any other since. Its so easy setts up hardware and mounts all your drives.
But dont expext dvd or mp3 to work out of the box, dvd wasnt too difficult but am still struggling to get universal mp3 support.

well i created a new virtual machine now and allocated 256 MB RAM for it, but how can i limit its usage of the cpu?
and is it possible to install suse on a hdd with a suse 10 live disc, or is that one meant exclusively for starting linux off the disc?

Some provide the function, but I doubt SUSE10 does. I would suggest checking the website to check ? Something like DSL can do that though..

well i installed suse 10 now, and it used around 3,5 GB of space and everything seems to work fine but i just cant start any compiled c++ programs, i tried with console and xterm, nothing worked.
i compiled and linked the program with g++, but when i try to start it, it says "unknown command".
i triplechecked that everything is right, "g++ -o prog prog.o" is the correct command line but yet it doesnt work when i try to start the prog with the command "prog".
anything to do with the library files?
- yea i know its kinda off-topic but i d greatly appreciate if anyone could tell me what to do, the written program itself is 100% correct but even that doesnt matter as it doesnt wanna link at all.

If your in that directory -
./prog ?
Or try the full path -
/home/username/prog

btw, is there a way to transfer files from my host machine running in xp to my vmware machine running in suse?
or even better a way of making the vmware machine access files on my physical hdd that i m using for win xp.
edit: ok i found out it works simply by drag n drop, crazy  .
but, do the files actually get copied that way (hence use up double the space),
or is it simply a link to the files on the physical drive?

I think it would be a copy.
AFAIK links in linux are symlinks created with the command,
ln -s path-to-original-file path-to-new-file

but the thing is, i dont get how to copy a file from my suse linux running on vmware to my comp running on win xp.
i tried with drag and drop as it says in the help file but it doesnt work, i activated the drag and drop function in the menu as well.
i also tried to create a shared folder but its nowhere to be found in suse.
now this is kind of a problem, because i need to get my programs online, and i cant do so with suse on vmware so i need a way to simply copy a file from suse to win xp, or to create a shared folder in vmware suse which is recognized in win xp or vice versa.
does anyone know what to do?

If you use bridged networking, so the VMware machine has it's own IP, you can just start up samba and log in from your win xp machine to the guest IP. I think the shared folder stuff in vmware is accessed by either mounting //.host/Shared Folders/ or you can browse it with "smb:///.host/Shared Folders" in konqueror if you use KDE. I don't know how that works in gnome.
