Wine and PATH
by Raghavan Gurumurthy July 6, 2004

July 6, 2004

BlankI have set this in the Wine config file (~/.wine/config): [wine] "Path"="c:\\windows;c:\\windows\system;c:\myapp" I have placed the executable (and its dependent DLLs) in c:\myapp directory. Now, if i run this command: # wine myapp.exe <<<--- I get error: "wine: cannot find myapp.exe". But, if i do: # wine c:\\myapp\\myapp.exe <<--- Everything is fine. Is Wine looking in the PATH variable i set in the config file or not? I did a wineboot as well as a reboot of the machine and still no luck. What am i missing? Note that if i copy myapp.exe to c:\\windows directory, Wine does let me run it without specifying the full path - but, i don't want to do that for obvious reasons. Is this supported or not? Thanks, Raghavan Gurumurthy Gupta Technologies

uxtheme metatheme
by Olaf Leidinger July 6, 2004

July 6, 2004

Hello! I'm new to the list and I'd like to know how complete the Windows-XP theme support is. I don't know anything about XP themes or win32-api programming in general but I wondered if it would be possible to create a "metatheme - plugin" for wine. Metatheme [1] is a new project which aim is to unify the appearance between different graphics toolkits. Although it's a new project it's quiet stable. I talked already to the author but he isn't sure if all MetaTheme requirements can be satisfied. The problem should be the metrics and so on. This should only be a suggestion for a TODO-item or a proposal as I can't write such a theme - at least not at the moment ;-( [1] http://jezek2.advel.cz/projects/metatheme/ Thanks a lot, Ciao, Olaf

Survey: "Motivation of Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) Developers"
by Marc Röttig July 6, 2004

July 6, 2004

Survey: "Motivation of Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) Developers" We (Marc Röttig and Carl-Daniel Hailfinger) are currently working on a survey on the motivation of open source developers as part of a "Computer Science and Society" project at the CS department of the University of Tübingen. We invite every developer in the Free / Open Source Software community to help us with our survey by filling out a little web form to give us some hints on possible motivation-motifs of F/OSS-developers. You can find the survey-form at http://foss.ta-altensteig.de/ Privacy statement: We do not want to collect personal information about you without your agreement. That's why we do not ask for your name and give you the ability to leave personal information unspecified (age and profession). We (the authors) will not make the raw survey data available to anyone except members of our faculty for verification of proper scientific procedures in extracting the results. Thank you in advance for your support. You can reach our CS faculty at http://www.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/

MSI in Wine
by Gearoid Donnellan July 5, 2004

July 5, 2004

Hey again, I am very shocked that this actually works and you probably know already but If you down load and extract the Windows Installer redistributable in the wine directory you can then install MSI's using "wine msiexec /i <msiname>". Tried it with winzip.msi and it worked perfectly. Don't know if that will hold through with others though

RE: Running United Devices Agent
by Roger Olson July 5, 2004

Hi All, Since this is my first attempt to submit a patch coupled with the fact that I am sooo new to win32 C, I thought I would offer my proposal before the wine developers. This does 3 things for me: 1) See if I am in left or the right field :) and if 'half step' patches to full implemetation are ok. 2) Check to see if my patch submission procedure/format is correct (did I follow directions correctly?). 3) Best of all, implementation of this patch nearly made my UD Agent function 100% without even adding any code. Sending via Mozilla e-mail client out of WinME hopefully set up properly. Feedback more than welcome!

Extracting MSI's
by Gearoid Donnellan July 5, 2004

July 5, 2004

I dont know much about Wine but a friend of mine mentioned that I could be of some help in this area. It could be possible for me to create a script that will read an MSI and then recreate the directory structure needed to run a windows application in wine automaticallly. I was just wondering if anyone was working on anything similar or had any views on the issue? I am still unsure as to whether or not its possible but I am looking into it.

bug in redhat 9 RPMs
by James Gregory July 5, 2004

July 5, 2004

Hi all, apologies if this isn't the right place to post. I installed the RedHat 9 RPMs from sourceforge (followed the link from winehq.org -> downloads) and discovered that the permissions on /usr/lib/wine and /usr/share/wine (the directories, not their contents) were 700, which prevented normal users from using Wine. I changed the permissions so it's not a problem for this particular install, but it's probably not expected behaviour. Unfortunately I don't have any real way of checking if it's a system specific problem, or an issue with the RPMs themselves. I'm happy to supply any info needed to debug it. Thanks, James. -- James Gregory <james(a)linuxaus.com>
