Re: winecfg and cdrom drives
Does anyone who is Mac saavy have ideas on the best way to accomplish cdrom detection in wineprefixcreate across Mac OSX and *nix platforms?

I haven't looked at it myself... You want this to work on macosx, too, so be careful.

cd rom drives should be detected without user intervention, imho
users shouldn't have to run a special gui config tool to get their drives recognized
so if it needs fixing, let's fix it in e.g. wineprefixcreate

No, we aren't. I have to setup the cdrom drive manually on every distro I've tried. Wineprefixcreate only sets up the C:\ and Z:\ drives, no cdrom drives are configured. # Create the drive symlinks if [ ! -d "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices" ] then mkdir "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices" [ -d "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c" ] || mkdir "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c" ln -s "../drive_c" "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c:" ln -s "/" "$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/z:" fi CROOT="$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/c:"

It's not being detected from wineprefixcreate but from explorer. That's where HAL interaction is taking place. Vitaliy.

Vitaliy.
Does Explorer first need the drives to be created in dosdevices with wineprefix in order to detect them properly?

HAL as in HALd/dbus? So on systems without HALd/dbus (stock Slackware systems), the CD's will never be autodetected? Cause I'm having the same issue, but it's never been much of a bother to me.. -- Thanks Tom Check out this new 3D Instant Messenger called IMVU.
