mapping a directory

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Hello All,

I have installed the latest Wine onto my Linux Redhat 7.2 and it
seems to run very well for the most part.

I can easily map a Linux directory to a Windows drive, but I actually
have a need to be able to map a linux directory to windows
subdirectory. About the only way that I can currently think of that
might work would be to use a symbolic link on the Linux subsystem.

cheers,
Lonnie

If I understand you correctly (if I can read your mind, that is):
~/.wine/config
[wine]
; Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by default.
; Enabling this may crash some programs that do recursive lookups of a whole
; subdir tree in case of a symlink pointing back to itself.
"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1"

Yea, I just came across this as well and it works although I will
probably try and use the "mount --bind" instead.

I am getting lots of messages about various fonts and want to make
sure that they are all installed properly.

Thanks again,
Lonnie
