--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2009-01-20 02:39:54 --- Removing deprecated CVS/GIT version tag. Please retest in current git. If the bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine that had the bug. Thanks!

Still in wine-1.7.24-14-gd1749b5

yes, simply test this with:

git grep TMPDIR git grep "/tmp"

--- Comment #7 from André H. nerv@dawncrow.de --- It's now used in three places: https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/613d1715a4f7663f7f160d8260... https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/20006966ab737e3da0ed107cf0... https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/b5eec8131507773eb6688b84e9...

The winebuild patch was most likely rejected for adding complexity... The libwine patch was rejected because: "The server dir needs to be unique for a given prefix, so it cannot depend on environment variables."

So, this might be a WONTFIX!?

--- Comment #8 from Sebastian Lackner sebastian@fds-team.de --- For libwine: What about testing if /tmp exists, then falling back to the Android code path if it doesn't? As already mentioned on IRC, there are some users frequently reporting issues, because their distro doesn't have /tmp, and would be nice if Wine could work out of the box without recompiling.

See also bug 39013, where a user has /tmp set to writable only by root.

"The server dir needs to be unique for a given prefix, so it cannot

depend on environment variables."

That's a feature not a bug. It allows one to have separate wine server instances.

--- Comment #11 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Now, we also have $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. I don't know if this would be of any use to Wine or not. systemd should make this directory available at log-in.

"The server dir needs to be unique for a given prefix, so it cannot depend on environment variables."

Is this true anymore? Each server creates its own private directory in /tmp so it should be able to do that anywhere.
