Foreign Linux. Running unmodified Linux programs on Windows

So, this seems to be the opposite of WINE:
https://github.com/wishstudio/flinux
Foreign Linux. Right now it is pretty basic but it will be interesting to see what is further developed.
The Linux image it currently runs is based on Arch.

Foreign Linux seems to be like WINE though, translating the instructions for binaries compiled for linux. Which is interesting in theory, but to be honest I don't really know which linux application I'd want to run on it. Most of those I use are a rewrite of a windows equivalent.
Personally, I really like to see a server-client architecture for music player. In this case, maybe MPD + Cantata / MPD + ncmpcpp. Other than that, maybe nothing.

Can I run my java program in windows environment?

How can i make my compiled java program run into windows environment?
What program will i use to be able to do that?

1. Install the JRE.
2. Go to the command line.
3. Type something like java myClass or java -jar myJar.jar.
You could also use one of the many java2exe (java to executable) programs floating out there.

Can't run java .class programs from Windows command line!

I have tried to get a program that I wrote with the JDK to run from the Windows command line, but it is not working. I typed:
java HelloWorld
Where my .class was HelloWorld.class, a compiled java program. I spelled the name correctly (and I am in the correct directory), yet I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld
I think something is screwy with windows, but that's just me. Any ideas??

Likely a CLASSPATH issue - try
java -classpath . HelloWorldGood Luck

Opening a Word Document with a Java program in Windows

When running a Java program in Windows, is it possible to have a button where when it is clicked it will open a Word document?
If so, is it hard and can someone tell me how to do it??
Thanks

try this instead of Excel.exe you have to use Word.exe
1. Declare your button
               JButton butexlcom = new JButton("Carnet Offre");
               butexlcom.addActionListener( new ButExlCommercial(msgout));
               butexlcom.setBounds(215,510,110,30);
               c.add( butexlcom );
2. run your word document.
class ButExlCommercial implements ActionListener {
     private JTextArea msgout;
     public ButExlCommercial( JTextArea msg) {
     msgout = msg;
     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
          try {
               Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe NameWordDocument");
          catch(Exception en) {
               msgout.append( "\n*** PROBLEME WORD ***\n" );
}

Running a Java program at startup in Linux

Hello
How do I run a Java program at startup in Linux? I know in Windows I can put a .bat file in C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\ directory, but in Linux I have no idea how it is done.
Thank you,
Mihai

This is really a Linux question, not Java.
And then it depends on the version of Linux you are using.
Maybe this will help, otherwise you should try on a forum for your version of Linux.

Need help with running a Java program on Linux

I am trying to get a Java program to run on a Linux machine. The program is actually meant for a Mac computer. I want to see if someone with Java experience can help me determine what is causing the program to stall. I was successful in getting it installed on my Linux machine and to partially run.
The program is an interface to a database. I get the login screen to appear, but then once I enter my information and hit enter the rest of the program never shows, however, it does appear to connect in the background.
Here is the error when I launch the .jar file from the command screen:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal component position
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Container.add(Unknown Source)
I am not a programmer and I am hoping this will make some sense to someone. Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Well, without knowing a little bit about programming, and how to run your debugger, I don't think you're going to fix it. The IllegalArgumentException is saying that some call does not like what it's getting. So you'll have to go in an refactor at least that part of the code.

Progblems Running a C program with JNI on Linux

Hi
We are having a problem running a C program which uses JNI to start a virtual machine.
We can compile it up ok and it finds all the correct libraries and everything is fine as far as we are aware but when we try to run the program the error we get is "command not found". Now when the same programm is compiled with out JNI stuff, so basically no java at all it compiles and runs ok.
I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems we are using sun jdk 1.3.1 and RedHat Linux 7.2.
Thanks
Iain

IainHi !
I think I had the same problem. But fortunately I found the solution.
I tried to compile and run the standard sun example of invocation interface. My C file is main.c.
Compilation:
cc -I/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/include/linux -L/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic/ -L/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/ -lpthread -lhpi -ljvm main.c
after then You must create the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and point out Your JNI libraries location. That works with mine.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/native_threads:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/lib/i386/classic;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Now it should work.

How to compile and run PRO*C programs in Linux

Hi all,
This is my first post in this forum.
I have Oracle 9i installed in linux platform .
How can i compile and run Pro*C programs in linux.(i mean any commands or procedure to run these programs)
please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Trinath Somanchi,
Hyderabad .

(1) How to compile the Pro*c program U got to have a makefile to compile a Pro*c program. It helps u in compiling and creating an excutable. Once U have created a makefile , just call "make" and it will do the compilation and create the executable as well.
For a sample makefile visit
http://asktom.oracle.com/~tkyte/proc_makefile/
(2) How to run the Pro*c program ? and Once U have created an executable, U shall call that directly as any other linux command. Make sure U have the permissions to run the executable. If not give the permissions using chmod 777 executable
(3)How to get the output of the program ?Question 2 and 3 are the same. I mean running and getting a output are the same

Using java on linux v/s windows

wondering if anyone could help me out here.
can't seem to find a lot of doucumentation on this .. or may be i was just searching using the wrong key words!!!

Hi again,
coz i just
learnt from the other post u can't run certain exec
commands...wat else can and can't u do.?just try it. it SHOULD NOT be different except when you try to access
system specific thinks like interacting with system processes, file handling and so on. But of course you can run exec commands, but you
will see that the command has to be different. I wrote on Linux and on
Windows (ok, I never tried to port a program between the platforms) and
I can say it is not that different.

I want to run java program on windows environment as background process

Hi all
I want to run java program on windows environment as background processSo command prompt return after executing java command and program on background In Linux we can do this easily �but I do not how to do this in windows
for example look this programe
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestClass {
     class ravi extends Thread{
          public void run(){
               try {
                    String target_file = "ravind.txt";
                    File targetfile = new File(target_file);
                    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(targetfile)) ;
               for (int i =0 ; i < 100 ;i++ ){
                    Thread.sleep(10000);
                    writer.println(" ravindra shukla ");
          } catch (Exception e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          TestClass test1 = new TestClass();
          TestClass.ravi r1 = test1.new ravi();
          r1.start();
System.out.println(" return from main ");
first i compile this
javac TestClass.java
then i run this by using this command
java TestClass
but becouse i put sleep on threads run function so it takes to much time to get return on command promt .... i want to run this programe as background process so command promt return as soon as i execute java command

Thanks dude
This solution �start java TestClass� works fine �. But it does not solve my problem
It opens another black window and that black window persist till the life time of my program
Is it possible application run on complete background without opening another black window �as in Linux

Install PeopleTools 8.53 with Linux Issue: Client Windows and Server Linux

Folks,
Hello. I am installing PeopleTools 8.53 Internet Architecture. Database Server is Oracle Dabase 11gR1. OS is Oracle Linux 5. I have installed JDK7, WebLogic 10.3.6, Tuxedo 11gR1 and PeopleTools 8.53 successfully into Oracle Linux 5.
Now, I am setting up PeopleTools8.53 Database. Because the Install Wizard has problem, I set up PeopleTools 8.53 Database manually using Oracle starter database instance named PT853. We need to run Data Mover script in a Windows Client machine to populate PeopleSoft Database instance in Linux Sever machine.
Let's assume:
VM1: Server machine - Oracle Linux 5
VM2: Client machine - Windows XP
Nicolas has this tutorial:
http://gasparotto.blogspot.com/2008/01/on-peoplesoft-road-peoplesoft-database_10.html
From step 15 to step 23, Nicolas does not explain how to connect VM2(client) with VM1(server) and load data from VM2 to VM1.
My questions are:
First, do we need to install PeopleTools 8.53 Windows version into the Client machine Windows XP while installing PeopleTools 8.53 Linux version in the Server machine Oracle Linux 5 ?
Second, how to connect VM2 with VM1 and then load data from VM2 to VM1 ?
Thanks.

So if I understand correctly, you have already created the oracle instance in the Linux machine. Then there is no need to install the Tools again in the Linux machine unless you want to run data mover at Linux.
You can just install the tools and oracle client in windows and load the data by running the data mover from windows. Connection happens through Oracle Client using TNS.
Steps involved are
1. Creating the database using createdb10.sql or otherwise (you have already done this)
2. Run utlspace.sql
3. Run dbowner.sql
4. Run ptddl.sql - considering that you are just installing a Tools database and not any application database
5. Run psadmin.sql
6. Run psroles.sql
7. Run connect.sql
Create the data load dms file by using DBSETUP in data mover
Run the created script and load the data
This information is available in any peopletools installation doc
Hope this helps

Windows task scheduler to run batch file running a java program

I have created a batch file that runs my SendEmail program. The batch file is in the same directory as the java program. The only line in the batch file is
java SendEmail
This works fine from the command prompt but from the windows task scheduler it fails to function. Any help on how I can overcome this problem will be greatly appreciated.
THanks

Looks okay. The classpath is set, too, I guess? Btw, try running javaw instead of java. I may err, but I think it can show a console, so you can watch any error messages.

I want to use Boot Camp to run a tax program that will only use explorer. Whick windows program do I need to install in Boot Camp

I want to use Boot Camp and windows 7 or 8, preferrably 7 to run a tax program that will only let me use explorer. I am using a Mac Book Pro with OSX Maverick 10.9. There are so many windows programs out there it is confusing which one I need. I don't think that I will need Office.

I would use Windows 7 any full version except the trial, or a branded Dell, HP, etc. versions
