--- Comment #22 from Emmanuel Charpentier emm.charpentier@free.fr --- I saw Alexandre's answer.
But I'm still unable to understand how I could lauch, for example, Linux's /usr/bin/iceweasel from either the command line or a VBA Call Shell() call.
For example, from a "wine cmd" terminal, trying : start /unix /usr/bin/iceweasel gives me an error dialog box stating "Aucun programme Windows n'est configuré pour ouvrir ce type de fichier." (approximatively : "No Windows program is configured to open this type of file").
Similarly, in the same terminal, trying : start /unix /bin/ps gives me a blank line (no error), and gets back to the prompt.
Trying : Z:\home\charpent>Z:\bin\ps is a bit more verbose : "Ne reconnaît pas « Z:\bin\ps » comme commande interne ou externe, ou fichier de commandes." (approximatively "Does not recognize Z:\bin\ps as an internal or external command or command file").
Maybe we should have an utility calling the system (Linux) shell and associate it with, for example the ".SH" exytension ? This would allow to create specific or generic shells invoking whatever Linux progfram we wish and communicate its outputs to Wine ?
Note : I'm currently using Debian testing distribution, which is currently at at wine-1.8-rc4. Does this specific version has incompatibilities ?
Any idea ?
