Cross-Platform Limitations
The Windows and Macintosh versions of IGOR Pro are nearly identical except for some features that do not translate between the two operating systems. Some of the most significant differences:
- There is no direct equivalent in Windows IGOR Pro to AppleScript.
- There is no direct equivalent in Macintosh IGOR Pro to Windows DDE server or client communications.
IGOR Pro and Linux
At the present time Igor does not run under Linux.
However, some users have had limited success running Igor via CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office Wine-based product. You can read about their experiences by searching the Igor mailing list database for "Linux" or similar terms or you can view a summary in the Are you porting Igor to Linux? article in the support database. We plan on working with CodeWeavers to improve Igor's compatibility under Linux.
