How to use make_iso.bat in Linux via Wine?

linus72 · 07-30-2009, 01:19 PM

For some reason, this script
from slax does not work

or my understanding of it that is..

Code:

@ECHO OFF



REM  ----------------------------------------------------

REM  Batch file to create bootable ISO in Windows

REM  usage: make_iso.bat c:\new-slax.iso

REM  author: Tomas M. <http://www.linux-live.org>

REM  ----------------------------------------------------



if "%1"=="" goto error1

cd ..

set CDLABEL=SLAX



slax\tools\WIN\mkisofs.exe @slax\tools\WIN\config -o "%1" -A "%CDLABEL%" -V "%CDLABEL%" .

echo.

echo New ISO should be created now.

goto theend



:error1

echo A parameter is required - target ISO file.

echo Example: %0 c:\slax.iso

goto theend



:error2

echo Error creating the ISO file

goto theend



:theend

pause

If I try to use it thru wine it says

Quote:

a parameter is required - target ISO file
Example Z:\home\bz\slax-6.1.1\make_iso.bat c:\target.iso

so, what am I doing wrong?

It doesn't work in XP either....??

Please show us the exact command you are using to execute the script.

(I'd venture a guess that %1 is comparable to $1 in *nix, implying an (the first) argument on the command line. According to the error, %1 is empty.)

um
I'm just right-clicking it and using wine to open it

I just tried it on XP too, just clicked it.

it soesn't work
something is mising from the script....

I don't know windows syntax, so have no idea how to fix

For reference
here's make_iso.sh

it works flawlessly

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# ---------------------------------------------------
# Script to create bootable ISO in Linux
# usage: make_iso.sh [ /tmp/slax.iso ]
# author: Tomas M. <http://www.linux-live.org>
# ---------------------------------------------------

if [ "$1" = "--help" -o "$1" = "-h" ]; then
  echo "This script will create bootable ISO from files in curent directory."
  echo "Current directory must be writable."
  echo "example: $0 /mnt/hda5/slax.iso"
  exit
fi

CDLABEL="SLAX"
ISONAME=$(readlink -f "$1")

cd $(dirname $0)

if [ "$ISONAME" = "" ]; then
   SUGGEST=$(readlink -f ../../$(basename $(pwd)).iso)
   echo -ne "Target ISO file name [ Hit enter for $SUGGEST ]: "
   read ISONAME
   if [ "$ISONAME" = "" ]; then ISONAME="$SUGGEST"; fi
fi

mkisofs -o "$ISONAME" -v -J -R -D -A "$CDLABEL" -V "$CDLABEL" \
-no-emul-boot -boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 \
-b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/isolinux.boot ../.

OH!

I gotta use windows command line and enter

Quote:

Z:\home\bz\slax-6.1.1\make_iso.bat c:\target.iso

How would I do that thru Wine?

what's windows command line called?

You need to start the script with an argument, not just click on it.

brianL · 07-30-2009, 01:43 PM

It's called cmd.exe, or the older one is command.com (I think).

linus72 · 07-30-2009, 01:46 PM

Can I get cmd.exe thru wine??

I can go try on XP too

brianL · 07-30-2009, 01:48 PM

I've never tried wine, except from bottles

.

linus72 · 07-30-2009, 01:52 PM

LOL

I'm retarded when it comes to Dindows

If Wine doesn't somehow have a Windows command prompt
IT SHOULD

Also, I'm gonna start another thread all about scripts
and I'm gonna share some cool scripts and want anyone else to share theirs

I think cmd.exe is so bound up with the rest of the Windows OS it can't be run separately like other apps in Wine. And I think you really would need it for running .bat files.

This seems right.. Isn't cmd actually a part of Internet Explorer, like most other Windows components??

Did you tried wineconsole ?
or
/usr/lib/wine/cmd.exe.so program_name.bat

It's hard to tell what's a part of what with Windows, MS don't want people taking it to bits in case they make it better.

linus72 · 07-30-2009, 02:10 PM

nope
why?

Code:

root@bz-desktop:/home/bz# /usr/lib/wine/cmd.exe.so /home/bz/slax-6.1.1/make_iso.bat
bash: /usr/lib/wine/cmd.exe.so: Permission denied
root@bz-desktop:/home/bz#

I have cmd.exe.so
