http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16704 Summary: wineconsole: Allow specifying the console backend to use when wineconsole is launched implicitly Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: wine(a)martin.st Created an attachment (id=18363) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=18363) Proposed patch for fixing the issue When wineconsole is launched implicitly, when an application in wine opens a console, it currently defaults to using the user backend of wineconsole, without any possibility of changing which backend to use. The console application to launch can be changed using the WINECONSOLE environment variable, and wine appends --use-event=xx to that command line when launching the console program. Setting WINECONSOLE to "wineconsole --backend=curses" is ignored, since wineconsole chooses the user backend as soon as the --use-event argument is parsed. This isn't necessary, since the user backend is the default one. By removing the explicit setting of the user backend when parsing the --use-event argument, choosing another backend through the WINECONSOLE environment variable works as expected. The attached patch implements this proposed change. -- 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.
