Summary: TortoiseSVN does not run under Wine Product: Wine Version: 0.9.5. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wineserver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mslinn@mslinn.com
I note that Winscp (winscp.org) is able to display TortoiseSVN menus in the local file window when running under Windows, but not when running under wine. Here is how I invoke winscp under wine:
WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine "c:/program files/winscp/winscp"
Background: WinSCP is a very nice GUI front end for Subversion (svn). You can read about it and download it here: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
TortoiseSVN should not be run across a network when the Icon Overlays feature is enabled. http://tortoisesvn.net/node/138 http://tortoisesvn.net/node/267
However, TortoiseSVN's icon overlay feature is one of the program's major assets.
I want to use Cygwin's xterm to connect to the samba server that holds the svn checkout directory and use Wine to run TortoiseSVN locally on that server. The user would be presented with a nice visual representation of the state of their checked out Subversion project, and performance would be good.
On Windows, TortoiseSVN can display its icons in any file chooser window, and in Windows Explorer. I have also found that WinSCP's explorer view will show icons for the local machine.
I would prefer not to have to run WinSCP in order to view TortoiseSVN icons. Perhaps a tiny Win32 program that merely shows a file dialog would be sufficient to run in an xterm, if Wine would support whatever system calls TortoiseSVN makes.
For me, and many other programmers and IT personnel who work in a mixed Windows/Linux environment, Wine would be much more useful if there was a way to run it under Wine. Might it be possible to extend winefile with whatever it currently lacks in order to allow TortoiseSVN to run?
