Such as xc3sprog for the Spartan 3

Excellent. I was considering writing something on this myself, no I can 
just write a link:) BTW, I am using Wine 20040813 version and the 
command line tools work great. ise.exe loads but I don't use it.

Hi

Programming the actual FPGA using JTAGcannot be done from within the ISE 
- you need to find a third-party program to do that under linux, but at 
least ISE 6.x will run under Wine otherwise (mostly). See my page on how 
to do it here:

http://www.danbbs.dk/~kibria/xilinx.html

I don't know if this applies fro 4.2 also - but you can always give it a 
  try. Hope it helps.

The current Xilinx tools are Linux native. I you don't have them then see
my old Xilinx on Linux page for instructions on running the 4.2 tools
under wine,

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to run the Xilinx ISE 4.2i software in
Linux?  I would like to develop VHDL code and then program my FPGA (I use a
parallel port JTAG programmer).  Being able to do this from Linux would make
the project easier as I need to develop a Linux device driver at the same
time.  I was thinking I could use WINE.  Do any websites with instructions
exist?

Thanks.
