Hello :)

I have run MT4 and MT5 on Linux using Wine and VirtualBox, all on CentOS 6.5.  The benefit, as I see it, of using CentOS is that it mirrors RedHat Enterprise Linux, and each release has a longer support life than other distributions.  I use Ubuntu, but that is for home and multimedia applications, to which it is well suited.  CentOS is much more a corporate style operating system; few frills.

Using Wine, I have found the installation to be easy, and the tester works fine. 

Using VirtualBox is equally easy, but there is a small performance degradation, and therefore I like to use Wine.  This is especially noticeable when running optimisations. 

Highly recommend it.  Can't understand why Metaquotes hasn't provided a native port to Linux, especially after all the recent revelations of spying in Windows 8!

 

Solved: "Expression could not be evaluated"

Workaround for enabling watches on MetaEditor (Version: 5.00 Build 934). 

// Just paste it on your own program
void fctDebugWatchesWorkaround()
{
   MqlRates rate;
   Print(rate.open); // Force expressions evaluation while debugging
}
 

Thanks from me too. Had the luck to stumble upon this page ;-)

But though it works fine when I use it on indicators containing "void OnStart()", I don't have any success with one, only having "OnCalculate", explicitly Stochastic.mq4.

Is there anything, I can change there to enable watching expressions?

Thank you.

Add following code before function.
class CFix { } ExtFix;

Since the last update, metatrader has stopped working on my Linux computer (with wine). When I open the code editor, a message appears informing me that an unexpected error has occurred and it will have to be closed. I'm no longer able to use it, I use ubuntu 14.04 and Wine 1.6.2 always worked but it has stopped working... has anyone had this kind of problem.

 

Under wyne worked almost completely without glitches.

But at first I had to fill vyne completely with everything necessary - net-framework, directx and so on, after that no glitches were observed

 
For me I tried on Centos, the basic working is ok, but more advanced such as attaching EAs, there are still a lot of problems, for instance, not able to detect the directory where the EAs are.
 
Friends!!! please tell me how to transfer certificates from vinda to mt5 under ubuntu?
 

Hi... I meet MT4/MT5 just now, and I have a doubt... Why using Wine instead of PURE Windows (via VMWare or another virtualization platform)??

VMWare has a FREE EDITION (VMWare Player, for Windows, Linux/UNIX e MacOS)...

It is more stable than use Wine...

You need a Windows License, but it is not a big problem...


Think in this form os distribution/suport... After all, you already offer support for Windows...


I hope I helped...


Bye...
