ok then I am very confused then... I deleted the / mapping all together and then ran the dotest script and the make test scripts dotest fails if the / mapping is not there along with the inetmib1 test. I opened a bug concerning the inetmib test failing and was told that my configuration with the / mapping deleted was an invalid wine configuration that the / is absolutely needed by wine.
So I am confused... is it required or not?
It is not required. What _is_ required is that the path to the current executable is mapped, somewhere. I suggested you remap Z: to / as it's the default, and it was the most concise way to ensure that your configuration met the requirement. As Ben said, you could map any drive. Heck, you could have mapped Q: to the dlls/inetmib1/tests directory and the inetmib1 test would have worked, while having no mapping would not work. --Juan
