http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36861 Bug ID: 36861 Summary: wineboot fails if a parent dir of the prefix doesn't exist yet Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: build-env Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: i30817(a)gmail.com While the rest of wine programs fail after this, if you use winetricks on a script where this happens, winetricks creates the full path and prefix for you, and subsequent commands start working, totally misconfigurated of course. I also find it a bit strange, principle of least astonishment wise, that any wine script must start with basically: #!/bin/bash export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/Risen mkdir -p "$WINEPREFIX" wineboot -i (this was added before i found the real problem, and it's unnecessary) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
