 Posted: Thu Oct 24, 2013 8:30 am Post subject: Wine and bash scripts |
 |
|
Hi ! I'm currently running Path Of Exile with great success ! With wine 1.6, kernel 3.11.5.
I have made an script to execute the game without going trough the strugglish windows-like path that wine creates. Problem is that the script is being executed on /home/cf/launchers and wine thinks the game is there. It executes the game, but starts making logs and looking for files there and it results on a no-go. What can I do to make the script so it's like executing it on the directories game ?
Thanks ! |

| Probably want e.g.: export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-mygame |

I do this on the bash script :
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files (x86)"/"Grinding Gear Games"/"Path of Exile"
wine "PathofExile.exe"
|
But a nasty error from the game itself comes up when I execute it. Can't run- |

Teegrins, chromaf!
Many applications indeed don't like to run from a working directory away from home. This is one of the ways I have my Wine shortcuts set up:
| Code: | | bash -c "cd '/path/to/the application' && WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX=/path/to/the/prefix schedtool -I -e wine application.exe &" |
Edit:
Poor choice of words there, oops!
By “home” I meant the place the application is living at; the installation path/directory (not $HOME or ~/).

hi,
This is not a WINEPREFIX. wine is expecting some files.It looks like this :
| Code: |
drwxr-xr-x 2 ryo users 4096 18 oct. 06:51 dosdevices
drwxr-xr-x 5 ryo users 4096 20 sept. 20:07 drive_c
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryo users 1062526 25 oct. 23:01 system.reg
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryo users 2122 20 sept. 19:58 userdef.reg
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryo users 45326 25 oct. 23:01 user.reg
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryo users 165 9 oct. 12:23 winetricks.log
|
so what you want to do is :
| Code: |
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" some_commands
|
or
| Code: |
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine"
PATH_TO_EXE="drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile"
cd "$WINEPREFIX/$PATH_TO_EXE"
wine PathofExile.exe
|
PS: why so many quotes ?

Referring to the “cd to the path where the executable is before running it”, where “home” is the place the executable is.
Not $HOME, if that's what you were thinking.
Sorry for my bad choice of words there. ^^;
