WINE is at least something, maybe also a VM like Virtualbox could work too.
I was able to use QEMU accelerated with the kqemu kernel module to run XP to run the servers and connect to the cRIO. But I found that I was then using Windows under Linux, and that wasn't the route that I wanted to go down. If I am going to do that, I would rather just use XP. XP would at least be more responsive.

I am pretty certain that once I get it to act like gdb that it is possible to use Eclipse again. You can use Eclipse to run and debug normal Linux applications, and it uses gdb for that. Personally I dislike using anything other than VIM and Makefiles, so my goal is to get things working with VIM and my makefiles.

Until they give us Linux binarys, there is no way to avoid wine or a VM. I guess you could compile your own cross compiler, but that sounds like a lot of unnecessary work and that could introduce problems in the output executable. I find WINE to be just fine for running command line utilities from Windows, though not as good for GUIs. I ran the command line compilers for the previous year's controller using WINE without any problems. This was using a Makefile though, not using MPLAB.
