I'm trying to get the freeware version of IDA (console) working, but ifyou mean ida37fw? My experience is based on that one.
It was previously avaliable at http://www.datarescue.be/downloadfreeware.htm but they stopped distributing it.
It still can easily be found on the web as idafree.zip
Using wineconsole -- --backend=user idaw.exe works perfectly beside special charachters used to draw frames appear as rectangles.
i run it in wine it just hangs.You can run it like this:
If i run it with winedbg it works fine.
I found out that the problem is that AllocConsole is never called for
the application if it is being run from wine.
wineconsole -- --backend=user IDA.EXE
This will create the initial console too. If you want to change the
settings of the wineconsole just right click on it.
This will bring you IDA up and running (the time displayed in the upper
right corner gets updated every second) but keyboard/mouse input does
NOT work. This seems to be due to the emulated hardware interrupts not
being dispatched. After some minutes i get
err:int:TIMER_TimerProc DOS timer has been stuck for 60 seconds...
The timer interrupt being int0 and having the highest priority it's
blocking the processing of int1 (keyboard). From the trace i see that
DOSVM_QueueEvent never signals the VM86 thread because there are always
pending request with higher priority.
As i didn't had too much time lately and my DOS skills aren't that good
i didn't got to dig deeper into the problem.
Thanks for this tip.
Maybe the problem you are experiencing only occours with the older version of IDA.
