first thing: If u have the DOS path C:\nop and convert it to unix style u get /root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/nop but for some scripts you need the real mounted path that would be in my case /mnt/C/nop. To get this done with bash i must cut out the /root/.wine/dosdevices/c: make an REALPATH=$(df /root/.wine/dosdevices/c: | cut -d ' ' -f 25) (REALPATH is than /mnt/C) and combine it with the /nop that takes much time in bash if winepath can do this by it self that would be a giant speed up, bound this to an option like -r --realmountedpath or so would be great.
readlink(1) is your friend.
secound thing: If a file lies on the dos dirve G:\file.nfo and the drive is assigned with winecfg to ../dosdevices/k: winepath outputs ../dosdevices/g:/file.nfo witch results to that the file cannot be found because its on ../dosdevices/k:/file.nfo. So you must have all drives exactly assigned like the would appear on real DOS (G:\ = ../dosdevices/g:). This can be avoided with checking the wine config, a option like -c --checkwinecfg would do it.
There's no wine config, it's all in the symlinks. Making a drive symlink pointing to another drive is not a good idea anyway.
Hi Alexandre,
for the first thing: thank you for the tip, readlink -f "link/dir/file" works but it's allways a extra step if winepath make this alone it would be much better/faster.
for the secound: so winecfg makes an readlink every time started for every link in dosdevices to get the mountpath of the symlinks?
