Firstly, you can run your web on Linux and WAA on another (Windows) machine,
so you don't need to run it under Wine.

Secondly, the docs for WAA show how to create a WAA package quite well, so
read the manual and you'll get there.

If you want to find an easier way to produce HTML than using the methods of
the oHtml object (which is klunky and limiting), then take a look at xbHCL. 

The source below creates a complete WAA package (when linked as a DLL).

This (xbHCL) example shows how to create a simple form which is displayed to
the user. When they submit the form, the details they have entered are
reflected back to them.

Assuming the web is available on localhost, you can access it via
these URL's:

 replace waa1gate.exe with waa1gate.isa etc.
WAA:
http://localhost/cg-bin/waa1gate.exe?WAA_PACKAGE=SIMPLE&WAA_FORM=WEB_FORM

Xb2.NET: 
http://localhost/form?

Adelaide,

In addition to what Phil said:

If I am not mistaken this package is an object library in order to be able
to
work with DBF's from linux applications. AFAIK it is of no use if you try
and run Xbase++ applications under WINE.

You would have to do something like "wine pbuild blablabla" in a terminal
window
under linux. I would not even dream of getting that to work.

> I've managed to install WAA with wine on the linux plataform.

Cool!!!, How did you get the required enviroment-settings to work,
I failed on that point. I'm very curious (where my mistake lies).

> Now I need to know how to build the projects for the WAA aplications.

You are not choosing the easy way...

> Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track? ... how to puild projects?
... which package t use?

I would in all honesty advise to work under windows, because it will take
you
without doubt a lot of time to find out the details of how to get this to
work
under linux.

Adelaide,

Thnx for the info,
got WAA-server running now on FC5
