I remember I ran into this thread a while ago and wondered the same (for no real reason, who in their right mind would use linux?! joking, anyway...). It should be quite possible using something like Wine or Crossover (since it can run .net 4.0 https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/microsoft-net-framework-40 )

Why do you want to run FSB on Linux ?

It would be reasonable only when both Metatrader 4 and FST are running in Linux.

I have tested that MT4 is running under WINE, but I don't see any point to use it on linux.

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to thank Popov for such a nice software.

I'm trying to get FSB to run on Linux via Mono (http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html); there's also a Mono version for windows from the above link.

After very minor changes (case issues), I'm able to build FSB on Mono. But when I tried to run, it gave the following error messages:

$ mono Forex\ Strategy\ Builder.exe
Could not get XIM
System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null

Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: Either the image format is unknown or you don't have the required libraries to decode this format [GDI+ status: UnknownImageFormat]

Could someone have a look at this? Thanks

ps: there's a Mono Migration Analyzer (MoMA) tool (http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA) which helps porting to Mono.
