[Bug 17055] New: wine does not put wine executable path into desktop icon
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17055 Summary: wine does not put wine executable path into desktop icon Product: Wine Version: 1.1.13 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: beagle7(a)shaw.ca when installing an app, when wine installs a desktop icon (under KDE), it does include the proper env WINEPREFIX, but it does not include the path to to wine (e.g., /usr/local/1113/bin/wine) under which the app was installed. I.e., if I do exactly this: env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-some-app /usr/local/wine-install-dir/wine ~/path/windows-app-installer.exe the resulting desktop icon, in properties, would have under command, the following: env WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-app" wine "C:\Program Files\Path\app.exe" or similar. What I'd like it to have is: env WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-app" /usr/local/wine-install-dir/wine "C:\Program Files\Path\app.exe" (as appropriate) -- 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.

If you have special copies of Wine installed then you can edit links yourself.

Do we have a way of detecting what path wine was called with? -- 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.

The default menu links don't specify a path because they can be found in the PATH (usually /usr/bin). If you install Wine yourself you may have it in a non-default location (e.g. /opt/wine), or have multiple versions (e.g. 1.0, latest-git and crossover), or be using it directly from the build tree. While you can edit the menu links yourself, this is tricky and isn't very user friendly: the menu items only work if your distribution installs Wine to a location that is in the PATH. I'll take a look at this, as I am interested in getting it working for this case. -- 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.

I should add that in the case I mentioned, I was calling wine with its full path, to run the app installer, so I presume the path information would be in an argv array, so maybe it could be retrived from that? (Or maybe I'm too ignorant about Wine!) I find editing the menu links easy, but not everybody would, I'm sure. --Dave -- 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.

Are you still working on this? Wine's libs/wine/config.c, function get_runtime_bindir() has logic to read /proc/self/exe on Linux and work out the path to wine from argv[0] on other platforms. The bindir global variable in there seems useful too. Also it's winemenubuilder that writes the .desktop files you want changed so setting component and keywords appropriately. -- 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.
