This could be a something to try, however I cannot find out the command 
line, in man page or by guessing.

Is it something like "wcmd -vars=BLAH=moo" d-aliegri mentioned this on 
#winehq

No, I mean:

$ export BLAH=moo
$ wcmd

IOW, just set the Unix environment variable before starting wine.
Or to automate things, write a script that executes the above two
commands, or edit wcmd itself (I believeit is a shell script that
invokes the wineloader).

Hi Francois,

OK, thank you, I will document my results below.

VC++ 6 has been unable to use the includes, it requires two enviroment
variables INCLUDE and LIB.  So far I have not been able to get it to
find them.

I tried the shell way, as you sugested:

$ INCLUDE=d:\vs\vc98\include:d:\chaos-src\iainlib\h
$ export INCLUDE
$ wcmd

I tried adding to "config"

"INCLUDE" = "d:\vs\vc98\include;d:\chaos-src\iainlib\h"

I found that I had declared the INCLUDE dir with ":" instead of ";" as 
DOS requires, as I had been testing in bash.  I can now compile and it 
finds the includes and libs correctly by calling c.bat from wcmd or cmd.exe.

set 
INCLUDE=d:\vs\vc98\include;d:\vs\vc98\mfc\include;d:\chaos-src\iainlib\h;d:\chaos-src\chaossrc\h;d:\chaos-src\gpdumb
set LIB=d:\vs\vc98\lib;d:\vs\vc98\mfc\lib;c:\chaos-src\iainlib\

Is there a way to declare the INCLUDE and LIB from bash and have Wine 
convert the ":" to ";" so it is usable by the win32 nmake.exe program at 
all?

Thanks for the help so far!

Regards

JG

can you not just export them with the ; so wine doesn't need to convert
them?

[whit@giftie whit]$ export INCLUDE="c:\foo\var\bas;d:\bar\baz"
[whit@giftie whit]$ echo $INCLUDE
c:\foo\var\bas;d:\bar\baz
[whit@giftie whit]$ export LIB='c:\fubar;d:\oops\help'
[whit@giftie whit]$ echo $LIB
c:\fubar;d:\oops\help

I'm having no trouble... the way I do it is I make a batch
file which then calls vcvars32.bat, then runs nmake or cl.

I did have to edit vcvars32.bat to change quoting, since
it looks like wcmd's quote processing is all screwed up
(though I seem to recall seeing a patch about that recently).

I then run the outer batch file (foo.bat) with
   wine wcmd /c foo

yes, this seems to work, thanks for pointing this out.  I could not find
a man page on on wcmd when I looked...  Is there one planned?

I tried these and they solve the problem, thank you.

I think people have been getting by knowing how
Microsoft's cmd works.  There's a fair bit of doc
about that on the web.
