MSConvert
in a Linux Environment
- Download the
windows build of proteowizard
- extract it:
tar vxf pwiz-bin-windows-x86-vc90-1_6_1534.tar.bz2
- After extracting,
msconvert.exe should be present
- Install and
configure WINE
There are two ways to go about
this: building from source or installing a binary, if you have a more
common distribution (such as Ubuntu) installing a binary should work
fine and be easier. If it's necessary to install from source,
that's easy to do on a 32-bit system, but on a 64-bit system things
get tricky....this page should help: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
- Install the
cabextract linux package
- This package is
required for step 4, a google search for ¿cabextract <your distribution
name>¿ should suffice
- Use winetricks
to set up the windows environment to work with msconvert
- Download winetricks
from http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
- Install the vcrun2008
and dotnet20 tricks:
- sh winetricks
vcrun2008 dotnet20
- Move the proteowizard
libraries to the WINE environment
- The libaries are
in the proteowizard archive, move all of the .dll files over to the
WINE system_32 folder, on my system this was ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
- Call msconvert.exe
using WINE
- Change directories
to where you extracted proteowizard and move msconvert.exe over to the
WINE environment's program files directory (mv msconvert.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\
Files)
- Call msconvert.exe
using the follwing syntax wine "command"
- Example: wine "C:\Program
Files\msconvert.exe data.RAW"
