I need to build a docker image where on top of "ubuntu" base image i want to install IAR 8.30.2 using Wine.

I able to install IAR 9.10.1 successfully but getting issues with respect to X servrer while installing IAR 8.30.2

002b:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
002b:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

here Wine is unable to find or connect to the X display.

will there be difference in approach while installing different versions of IAR on top of ubunt using WINE?

How to avoid the X server issue?

Note - I am doing this through docker to create a required build environment.

The scenario you describe might be partially possible but it is officially unsupported. This issue tracker is specific for the bx-github-ci tutorial and, in fact, it is not a general support forum. For technical support use https://www.iar.com/knowledge/support/request-technical-support/

@felipe-iar - can you please let me know the forum where i can get support on this apart from iar technical support

@kvswp Unfortunately WINE Is Not Encompassed within IAR support. I'd suggest you consider upgrading to IAR Build Tools for Linux which runs natively on Linux, not requiring WINE. It offers the same build tools you have on the Windows version, though there is no IAR IDE for Linux at this point. One potential solution might be Visual Studio Code. There is a mini guide here which uses CMake for project management. If you need more information, please feel free to reach out to us at fae@iar.com. Thanks.
