Andrew, I went thru the thread there is nothing related to the setup. I have wine already installed for Navicat but I don't know what I need for Zorro

I use Linux, but I don't use Wine.

I keep all native binaries in their native environments. That is to say I only use Zorro on Windows.

I didn't really need to do anything special to install Zorro using Wine (on MacOS). Just install Wine and then run the Zorro installer using Wine. However, as you can see in the thread Andrew linked, it doesn't seem to work properly. You get different results when backtesting so I abandoned Wine. (the differences were quite drastic... apparently Wine somehow processes dates differently so candles aren't being read properly).

If you continue with it, do test it on both Windows and Linux extensively and compare the results to make sure they are equal.

Here's a way to test if the reason of the difference are issues of Wine with the COLEDateTime class:

Run a backtest under Windows and Wine and compare the timestamps in the log. Then modify the TickFix setting on the Wine Zorro version, add or subtract a few seconds, and run the test again. If you get a setting that produces the same results as under Windows, please let me know. I can then forward this to the developers for implementing an own time class and making Zorro Wine-compatible.

@JCL - I don't have any Windows boxes here. I don't want to take any chance on problems. More importantly any problems that can't been seen or that are not obvious like data skewing because the OLE classes are slightly handled differently.

I almost wanted to take you up on comparing the TickFix on both platforms.

It is easier to keep a older computer running Windows and Zorro and Remote Desktop into the box from Linux, the remote desktop software for linux is amazing.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING.

My suggestion was addressed to Kankan, who already did that, only without TickFix. I want to avoid opening a new front. Zorro has only 4 developers, and none of us is using Linux.

But if there is common interest in running Zorro under Linux, of more than 2 people, I'll put Wine compatibility tests on the to do list.

Ok, I didn't know that you were suggesting someone else. I will keep on the lookout for the test should they get done.
