Hi,
I have installed wine cvs and I have here on this machine Windows XP pro installed..
now - the partition is fat32 and I can access it with /mnt/win without any problem.
However, the tools/wineinstall script simply doesn't recognize my windows partition:
windows]$ ls -l win* -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 256192 Aug 23 13:00 winhelp.exe -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 266752 Aug 23 13:00 winhlp32.exe -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 504 Dec 1 22:25 win.ini -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48680 Aug 23 15:00 winnt256.bmp -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48680 Aug 23 15:00 winnt.bmp [hetz@witch windows]$ pwd /mnt/win/windows
Now - running tools/wineinstall gives me this:
wine]$ tools/wineinstall WINE Installer v0.7
Warning !! wine binary (still) found, which may indicate a (conflicting) previous installation. You might want to abort and uninstall Wine first. I see that WINE has already been configured, so I'll skip that. Hmm, looks like WINE is already compiled. I'll skip that too, I guess. You aren't root, so I'll skip the make install.
NOTE! To run Wine without installing, you must set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /home/hetz/wine:/home/hetz/wine/dlls in your logon scripts.
Create local config file ~/.wine/config? (yes/no) yes
Found existing /home/hetz/.wine/config, if you continue this file will be overwritten. Continue running wineinstall? (yes/no) yes
Searching for an existing Windows installation... not found. (no matching /etc/fstab mount entry found)
Windows was not found on your system, so I assume you want a Wine-only installation. Am I correct? (yes/no)
No, it's not correct. Any suggestions?
(sorry if the email doesn't belong to this list)
Thanks,

I think if you will look in /etc/fstab, you will see its fs_vfstype is auto. That works okay, linux is able to recognize the fat partition, but it confuses wineinstall. Last I looked at it, wineinstall was looking for vfat there to tip it off to a windows partition. If you change that from auto to vfat, that may help wineinstall. I will maybe see if I can work out a better way, but in the Mean Time you may as well try that.

You can always edit the ~/.wine/config file yourself if you don't like my suggestion above or it doesn't work.

Well, it's more a wine-users kind of question, but maybe wineinstall could do with a little work here.
It's been a couple of days since I looked at wineinstall, it might have changed.

I thought about that too, but it's not - here is the line from my /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 /mnt/dosc vfat defaults 0 0

Yes, but what about all the registry stuff that the wineinstall does? sure, I can point to it, but Won't I damage my actual Windows? (if I use the original windows as C:). Also, how do I copy the registery?
BTW: the wine is from today's (pulled from CVS).

I guess I was wrong.

all the registry stuff wineinstall does I have always done by hand.
approximately, (edit <wine>/winedefault.reg so the debug entry has the unix path to the debugger, normally /usr/local/bin/winedbg (this should be reachable by a dos drive - I map one to /usr/local/bin)).
cd <wine>/programs/regapi make make install cd ../.. regapi setValue -- -force <winedefault.reg
No, you won't damage the real windose registry. Wine doesn't write to that, ever, unless some windows program tells it to. It writes all its registry stuff to files in WINEPREFIX (~/.wine).
To copy the registry, export it to a file with regedit.exe, I think, and feed that to regapi.
cat exported-registry-file | regapi setValue -- -force

I will look at wineinstall some more though, - tomorrow.
