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
I realise this juan... I guess I am not being completely clear somewhat.... If I am in windows and go into explorer... go to a network drive. I do not nescisarily have to map that drive in order to run an application (so long as the DLLS it needs, if any, are not just on that drive). I can click the application and it runs. I realise this may be a fundamental difference between unix and windows but still they should theoretically run the same. Also from a command line I can do (I think if I am remembering correctly (been doing to much z work lately) ) //server/directory/app.exe and it will retrieve and run the app... (I think)
