Hi,

There is no way to compile nor run VB6 applications with mono.

If you really have to run the application on Linux I guess your only choice
is to use Wine (http://www.winehq.org/)

Hi,

Visual Basic 6.0 is not using the .NET Framework at all. If you want to
compile a VB6 project you have to use Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 that
will result in a native Windows .exe file. As Rolf said Wine is able to
run Windows executables on Linux.

Another solution can be to convert the VB6 source code to Visual Basic
.NET that will be able to run on Linux using Mono if you don't use
Windows API, native DLL or OCX files. Note that Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET and later contains a conversion assistant but you most likely will
have to modify the code by hand to be able to compile and run the
converted code.

I would try another BASIC language available for Linux. There are several others available.
Why don't give it a try, e.g. KBasic on www.kbasic.com ?

Kind regards,
Bernd
