Symlinks aren't viable? Why not? Some "smart" windows applications what to call _the_ notepad.exe that is located in c:\windows\system32. Or worse yet, start it, then wrap it's window inside it's own window to do some stuff. This is not possible with native Linux applications.
So, ln -s ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe /usr/bin/gedit Would not work? Yes, some badly coded applications has the path hardcoded as a string such as "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" A better way would be to use environment variables such "%windir%\system32\notepad.exe". Are there any better way than that? The Wine website or wiki should have a page with guidelines on how to write portable good. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
