Wine help
Hi, i have suse 10.1 with KDE. I just installed the latest wine version with no problem but it didn't put a wine icon on kmenu or desktop. So i was wondering if you could please tell how to open and run it. Thanks!:confused:
|
wine can be run from the CLI with
Code:
wine "*.exe" type wine in a console then hit tab a few times to autocomplete and see what other wine ish programs you can run. |
Here is what i get :
dhcppc1:/home/johnny # wine Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit dhcppc1:/home/johnny # wine PROGRAM wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'... fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects wine: '/root/.wine' created successfully. wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\PROGRAM.exe": Module not found What am i missing?:confused: |
I found this into wine directory .wine/drive_c/windows/system32. There are many .exe there but no program.exe only one similar, progman.exe. Should i change the name? Any help please!:confused:
|
er.... what?
maybe if it's better if we start with what exactly you are tryin to do? In my post i was saying you have to run Code:
wine <NAME OF PROGRAM YOU WANT TO RUN>.exe |
Here it is:
johnny@dhcppc1:~> wine bearshare.exe wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\bearshare.exe": Module not found Should i go into the directory first with cd command?:confused: |
Hi, i got it, i should place a sortcut of the program into that directory. One last question, isn't there any graphic interface to do that instead of typing commands?:)
|
you don't have to add a shortcut, you can cd to the directory and execute it, basically it's to do with paths (where the OS expects to find things).
Depending on what window manager/Desktop environment you are using, you could set it so that duble clicking on the .exe mime-type will run it using wine |
Yea i know when i click an executable file it ask me (KDE) with what program do i want to open it, but the problem is that i don't know what is the exact file that opens that in order to choose. Is the wine.exe?:)
