Unit testing

by Jakob Eriksson

Is there a tutorial or so for how to create new unit tests in Wine? If not, I'll just go ahead and use those there are for blueprints. -- regards, Jakob Eriksson The wages of sin is debugging. -- Ron Jeffries

Re: Installing MS Office gives error in installer

no, in the installer its the .lnk files (windows link files) that aren't being copied from the cd (or being converted to .desktop files) or something at any rate tho, they never showed up in my kde menu or on my desktop... so theres probably a problem in wine somewhere. I will try crossover office tonight to see if it installs the files or not... and post back tomorrow --- Hetz Ben Hamo <hetz(a)kde.org> wrote: > On Monday 22 April 2002 23:01, Speeddymon wrote: > > actually i did manage to get it work work from the > cd, > > you have to explicitly specify the -o unhide > command > > when you run mount or put the unhide command in > your > > /etc/fstab... > > > > as for the files not getting written, i had the > same > > problem, it is the .lnk files (that i assume go > in > > the start menu on windows)...i am thinking that > they > > aren't being properly converted to .desktop files > or > > something.

RE: bug?

by Speeddymon

actually its a typo in wineinstall, find the line that says: if ! su root -c"$sucommand" and put a space between -c and "$sucommand" i.e. make it: if ! su root -c "$sucommand" --- "Medland, Bill" <Bill.Medland(a)accpac.com> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Rikard Bj�rklind [mailto:olof(a)linux.nu] > > Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2002 5:38 AM > > To: wine-devel(a)winehq.com > > Subject: bug? > > > > > > Hi, I tried to use ./tools/wineinstall: > > > > Performing 'make install' as root to install > binaries, enter > > root password > > Password: [here I wrote the password] > > /bin/bash: - : unrecognized option > > > > What's wrong? > > > > > Probably failed to run the ldconfig. > > Check the /etc/ld.so.conf to see that the location > of the wine lib directory > is included (probably /usr/local/lib) and su root > and run /sbin/ldconfig. > > Bill > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Installing MS Office gives error in installer

by Speeddymon

actually i did manage to get it work work from the cd, you have to explicitly specify the -o unhide command when you run mount or put the unhide command in your /etc/fstab... as for the files not getting written, i had the same problem, it is the .lnk files (that i assume go in the start menu on windows)...i am thinking that they aren't being properly converted to .desktop files or something. I will try installing with crossover office tonight and post the results tomorrow -Dustin --- Rizsanyi Zsolt <rizsanyi(a)myrealbox.com> wrote: On Wednesday 17 April 2002 21:42, Speeddymon wrote: > > I just recently installed wine-20020411 (as you > > may > > have noticed from my patch) > > I haven't tried installing Office 2000 on previous > > versions, but heard that it worked, so I decided > to > > try it.

Re: Wine not releasing CDROM

I used to have to click through a couple of dialogs to switch CDs. But now when I am asked to insert a new CD, I can unmount the old one, mount the new, click OK, and the program immediately finds it.

regapi with global registry

by Raul Dias

Hi, I have a global windows fake tree, which every user in the group "wine" can access. However I got a problem dealing with new applications installed. When a user (any user, even root) installs an application, the registry entries goes to $HOME/.wine/*.reg . This also means that other users will not be able to use it because of the missing registry entries. I use the regSet.sh, regFixer.pl and regRestorer.pl to generete a diff .reg file with the changed registries. When a user (even root) uses regapi to add this values: regapi setValue < file.reg The data goes to the user's registry and not to the global registry (even if the user has access to it). Is there a way to tell wine/regapi (or regedit) to add the new values to the global registry? If not, the only solutions I can think of is: 1 - make every user run the regapi command. 2 - * create a new user (or to use a WINEPREFIX var), * change its config to save the whole registry (which would make the global config save under the user's dir). * copy the resulting registry to the global configuration (/etc/wine.*reg) If it isn't really possible to write to the global wine registry using standard wine tools this is really a drawback in wine which would be needed for a wine 0.9 or 1.0 release. That would allow multi-user wine environments to be easier stablished. Regards, Raul Dias
