[Q] CreateProcess for Batch files

[Uwe Bonnes]

Hallo,

the Xilix Webpack Flow in one case tries to create a process with a batch
file as argument:
09846d58:Call kernel32.CreateProcessA(00000000,403efee8 "ChipView.bat -f
adcswitch.ngd -uc adcswitch.ucf -dev XC2C256-7-TQ144",00000000,00000000,00000001,00000000,00000000,00000000,405e6444,405e6434) ret=40605429
09846d58:Ret  kernel32.CreateProcessA() retval=00000000 ret=406054290

What is a good way to implement batch handling in wine? Start wcmd and hand
itthe batch file name and arguments? Expand and handle it in
scheduler/process.c?

Comments welcome!

Btw: This Chipview batch file only expands environment variables, sets
library pathes and calls java. I tried to use the native linux jre, but the
programm put up a message that it couldn't read some file, which is obvious
there.

%XILINX%\java\nt\jre1.2.2\bin\java -mx64m -ss4M -classpath ".;%XILINX%\chipviewer\lib\ChipViewer.jar;%XILINX%\chipviewer\lib\jaxp.jar;%XILINX%\chipviewer\lib\parser.jar;%XILINX%\java\nt\jre1.2.2\lib\rt.jar"com.xilinx.chipviewer.pgms.main.ChipViewer -XILINX %XILINX% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

Bye

Hi Uwe,

Launching wcmd would probably be the best option. Perhaps have a handler 
in the config file like:

[Executable types]
"bat" = "wcmd %s"

We should probably check that the files aren't executables before 
falling back to this kind of check.

I don't think we want to check extensions this way. We should simply
hand off all command lines we cannot execute another way to the
command interpreter (which could be made configurable so you can use
native cmd.exe if you have it).
