Howdy, I'd like to (finally) get around to fixing something that Agent does that's really annoying. When launching programs, it sends a string with backslashes for directory markers instead of forward slashes.
Anyhow, if I'm going to start looking at the problem, could someone point me at the right file to begin looking at? I think I asked this some time ago, but I can't seem to find the email. (I remember looking at the code, and since it was a *real* simple fix, it sorta just fell by the way side.)

Aha.
I couldn't find it in my email archive, because it was from back I accessed the users' list via USENET.
Thank you, google!

Since then the tool winepath has been added.
$ winepath 'E:\BIN\Agent\agent.ini /dos/e/bin/Agent/agent.ini
I think the recommended way is now to create a small script that uses winepath.

Hi, I'm not sue what winepath does, and the 'winepath --help' doesn't seem to do much.
What I'm talking about for Agent in particular, is that when Agent as a Windows program communicates with (for example) gimp as a unix program and passes a command line parameter, like a file path (it still thinks it's in C:\Data\agent rather than "~/data/agent", to open, all of the back slashes should be changed to forward slashes.
How would I use winepath in this situation?
Thanks, Oliver

I hoped the example would be enough. It does what I think you asked for, put path(s) known under wine and convert it to the unix path(s).
What I'm talking about for Agent in particular, is that when Agent as a Windows program communicates with (for example) gimp as a unix program and passes a command line parameter, like a file path (it still thinks it's in C:\Data\agent rather than "~/data/agent", to open, all of the back slashes should be changed to forward slashes.

The command:
winepath 'C:\Data\agent'
will output:
/home/yourself/data/agent
Use that in a little script, call it perhaps winegimp, that calls gimp with the correct (unix) path. Something like:
#!/bin/sh gimp `winepath "$@"`
I use something similar to launch gvim on the patches on the mailing list.

Ah, sorry, I was a bit dense yesterday. Hopefully, I'm not so dense today.
Do I dare ask why a script would be the favored solution, and not doing it directly in the code? In CreateProcessA in scheduler/process.c, each type of binary calls create_process. Why not just for the UNIX ones (BINARY_UNIX_EXE, BINARY_UNIX_LIB) swap out all of the ''s for '/'s in cmd_line?
As far as setup and integration of Wine into the Unix environment, the script solution seems much less transparent.

Ahem. "since it was *not* a real simple fix...." No wonder no one understands me anymore. :-)
