WindX on Linux

[vnges]

I am trying to install WindX on Linux using Wine. When I start the application, it states that I have not set the TERM environment variable and it is set to UNKNOWN. I have exported TERM=ansi and TERM=winterm, but it continues to state that the terminal is UNKNOWN. The specific error message:
ERROR:
****
You have either forgotten to to define set the ENVIRONMENT variable TERM the terminal type, forgotten to EXPORT it to Providex, or have set it to UNKNOWN. Please correct and restart ProvideX.

Our application is Terminal based (not web enabled), so I am able to succesfully connect and enter the numbers representing the menu options and move through the application, but it is not usable.

For reference, I am attempting to run this on a Debian 12 installation using the Wine version available in the repos or installed via Flatpak (Bottles).

I searched the forums and found a couple of previous Linux/Unix installations that appeared to be successful, but am not able to replicate.

Any suggestions?

Its been a long time since I did this but if my memory serves me right I created a .BAT file for windows that set the  environment variable then launched pxplus.

I have tested multiple Wine environments including launching from .BAT file (bottles on linux, Whisky on Mac, Kegworks on Mac) and all have the same issue - loads with the error "You have either forgotten to to define set the ENVIRONMENT variable TERM the terminal type, forgotten to EXPORT it to Providex, or have set it to UNKNOWN. Please correct and restart ProvideX."

However, Codeweavers Crossover loads WindX correctly (no error and WindX runs as expected). I have not been able to figure out why Crossover works when the rest of the Wine environments crash.

Wanted to at least leave this for reference to others. If you are having issues with WindX on Mac/Linux, you'll apparently need to buy Codeweavers Crossover. (This is not an advertisement for the crossover product, its just the only one I have found that works.)
