http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12238 Summary: wine chooses wrong home directory Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hendrik(a)topoi.pooq.com Wine failed to find c:\Windows According to spec, it should have looked for ~hendrik/.wine/fake_windows/Windows. I suspect it actually looked in /home/hendrik/.wine/fake_windows/Windows. My home directory is /farhome/hendrik, not /home/hendrik. After I inserted a symbolic link ln -s /home/hendrik /farhome/hendrik wine stopped complaining about not finding c:\Windows. I suspect that Wine assumes home directories are in /home instead of looking in the appropriate configuration file, such as /etc/passwd. (There ought to be a system call you can use to find this information instead of grotting around in /etc/passwd. Is there?) -- hendrik -- 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.
