Linux LDMicro? (by Curt Wuollet)
What would it take to port the program to Linux? With every other PLC programming tool in the world written for Windows, I think it would be novel to get ahead of the wave and have one, (1), each written for Linux. I have designed most of a PLC. That's not to say that it isn't finished, actually the intent is to have a backplane and industrial strength IO cards available so that the _user_ can pick the processor. Arduino, PIC, Stamp, or my favorite, the extremely powerful boards using the ARM chips developed for mobile devices. The chosen SBC uses SPI to run the IO so almost any uP will work. This opens up all kinds of remote IO and custom control options. The reason I want the ARM boards is that they will run LInux and so I am interested in any Open Automation code.

As far as I know, it runs perfectly under WINE, so this hasn't been a priority. The quick and dirty Linux port would be just to recompile and link against libwine, which would produce a native executable with very little effort.

LDMicro run perfectly under WINE!!
I use it on Wine...

Yes. those would be quick and dirty and require that I support WINE. That makes it fairly unattractive, especially since WINE is constantly changing. Not as unattractive as supporting Windows, but close. I had hoped to offer a software component, but will probably have to leave the customer to their own devices, or skip the ATMega.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "support". An application linked against libwine is a standalone Linux binary, the same as any other application that uses a library (libc, gtk, etc.). There is no major user-visible difference.
