At the command line, run $ winecfg. |

Select the 'Applications' tab. Add the Enterprise Architect executable 'EA.exe' from the Enterprise Architect installations folder. Then add these programs from the VEA sub directories:

Select each program in turn, then switch to the 'Libraries' tab. Ensure these values are listed with a (native, built-in) precedence:
|
|
4 |
Copy the application source code plus executable(s) to your bottle. The path must be the same as the compiled version; that is: If Windows source = C:\Source\SampleApp, under Crossover it must be C:\Source\SampleApp. |

5 |
Copy any Side-By-Side assemblies that are used by the application. |
Permissions
An installation of Enterprise Architect contains some native Linux programs that provide building and debugging services to Enterprise Architect under Wine. These programs need to checked using the Linux file system or shell to ensure they have the 'Execute' permission set appropriately. The programs are located in the "VEA/x86/linux" subdirectory of the Enterprise Architect installation.
Access Violation Exceptions
Due to the manner in which WINE handles direct drawing and access to DIB data, an additional option is provided on the drop-down menu on the Debug window toolbar to ignore or process access violation exceptions thrown when your program directly accesses DIB data.
Select this option to catch genuine (unexpected) access violations; deselect it to ignore expected violations.
As the debugger cannot distinguish between expected and unexpected violations, you might have to use trial and error to capture and inspect genuine program crashes.
Notes
- If WINE crashes, the back traces might not be correct
- If you are using MFC remember to copy the debug side-by-side assemblies to the C:\window\winsxs directory
- To add a windows path to WINE, modify the Registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
