IE5.0 for HP-Unix

[mangeli]

Has anyone successfully installed this on Linux?

Can it be done?

Just curious.

Don't think it can be done. Would appreciate it if do decide to try, you let us know your results. Could be a good project if you have the time to spend on it.

I've been trying, but I get a cannot execute a binary error....

so I'm not too optimistic.....

How about Microsoft support? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/eek.gif

There isn't any for installing it on Linux.

But if you go to http://www.microsoft.com/unix/ie/

it pulls up the info on IE for HP-Unix.

IE is the best product that Microsoft has out on the market right now....

I wouldn't imagine Bill would allow it. My suggestion was meant to be somewhat funny.

The only mention of Linux at microsoft.com is how much better NT is. We all agree on that of course. In his dreams...

I'm using IE 5.5 at this moment and couldn't agree more with you. The one product I do hope that MS ports to Linux. Bill has to surrender eventually. He did with Netscape.

You could check the Wine Project at www.winehq.com (http://www.winehq.com) or org and see if anyone has had any success with running IE5 through wine.

just apt-get the source and compile it yourself.


<edit> holy crap they really did port it, i thought you were just joking around.

Now, even if Linux can run HP-UX binaries, you'd still have to run Linux on the same hardware as HP-UX runs on (PA-RISC?), wouldn't you (unless you have some sort of emulator that is)?

ie on pa-risc would probably break down on x86. different instuctions, endian modes... you probably need the source and modify it. anyway, it would nopt be worth it. i tried ie on hpux and it sucked sucked sucked. of course i don't like it much on windows either....
