Funny Behavior with wine
I run wine on my gentoo system. For the most part it usually works quite well. One strange problem I have been having however is that some executables, not all of them, don't work unless I run open it through a shell.
I have some binaries in my menus. I also have pcmanfm set to execute the command "wine %f when a .exe file is clicked on. I'd say this works 80% of the time. Some programs don't seem to work though. Either nothing happens or a get some strange unhelpful dialog saying I'm missing files. Its not a huge inconvenience, but I like to put more frequently used software in the menus. It seems like a permissions problem, but I don't see what the permissions would be any different. Any ideas? |
A couple of thoughts.
If the apps are installed in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/abc.exe, those gaps in the path will cause a non app start. Double clicking in a file mgr to launch wine for the .exe won't work. It will fail with Code:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/abc.exe Code:
wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/abc.exe" Code:
ln -s "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/abc.exe" ~/ Or a menu item would need to be for example. Code:
xterm -e wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/abc.exe" |
I generally use escape codes instead, but I will try quotes and see if that makes a difference
