[Bug 18316] New: Word Pro: dashed "-" in parameters not resolved in command line

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18316

Summary: Word Pro: dashed "-" in parameters not resolved in
                    command line
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.20
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Hi All,

If I have a directory name with dashes in it ("a-b-c"), I can not get Word Pro
to recognize it as a valid parameter.

This does not work:

sh -c  "/bin/mount /mnt/TripStick; cd /home/wine/drive_c/lotus/wordpro;
/usr/local/bin/wine ./wordpro.exe 'z:\home\a-b-c\Test.lwp'"

This also does not work:

sh -c  "/bin/mount /mnt/TripStick; cd /home/wine/drive_c/lotus/wordpro;
/usr/local/bin/wine ./wordpro.exe z:\home\a-b-c\Test.lwp'"

Or this:
sh -c  "/bin/mount /mnt/TripStick; cd /home/wine/drive_c/lotus/wordpro;
/usr/local/bin/wine ./wordpro.exe z:\home\a-b-c\Test.lwp"

But this does work:
$ ln -s /home/a-b-c /home/abc

sh -c  "/bin/mount /mnt/TripStick; cd /home/wine/drive_c/lotus/wordpro;
/usr/local/bin/wine ./wordpro.exe 'z:\home\abc\Test.lwp'"

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.32 or newer) wine?

Hi Austin,

I am running 1.1.33.  There is no symptom change.  Is there any chance of
getting this looked at in 1.1.34?

Does that work on windows? It may be an application bug...

Guys!  I really, really need this fixed.  And it was reported almost four years
ago!  Any movement on this would be greatly appreciated.  Let me know if I can
help with something.

Many thanks,

Please retry with latest Wine version (wine-1.4-rc2).

Would you please point me to a repo with an RPM for this?

If you can't get the latest (which is now wine-1.4-rc3) then compile from
source.

That will make a huge mess out of my system.  The paths and stuff between the
old RPM version and the new compiled version get all mixed up and it makes for
a real mess.  (Did that once, do not ever want to go back and do it again.)

As I remember from other Smart Suite (Word Pro, 123, Approach)bugs I have
filed, several of you have Smart Suite on your systems.  Would one of you
consider giving it a try under the latest?

If it works, then I have a reason to ask Red Hat to make up a new RPM for us. 
Without a reason, Red Hat is not happy about new stuff in Enterprise Linux.

Many thanks,
-T

You can run wine from the build directory, without installing it.

Cool.  How?  Just unpack the tar ball and run wine from somewhere inside the
tar ball?

Unpack, ./configure && make. Then, use:
$ ~/path/to/wine/tarball/wine foo.exe

You're on a 64-bit OS but lack 32-bit development libraries. You need to
install them to compile wine as 32-bit.

Use the forums for help please.

It is going to be a while.  Maybe a few months.  But I have not forgotten.

Is this still an issue in the latest development version of wine (currently
1.5.31)?

The latest Wine for Scientific Linux 6.4 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone) is
1.4.1 and the problem still exists in 1.4.1.  I am sorry I am unable to test in
any other release until our intrepid heroes at EPEL
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) decide it is time to do a new spin of
Wine.  I do believe EPEL will only spin even numbered (1.4) releases on Wine as
they consider odd numbered releases (1.5) to be test releases, but I could be
wrong.

Is there any way you can test this in 1.5.31?

Many thanks,
