Wine


Recommended Posts

I've installed wine (via RPM) so that I can run the one app that has kept me as a windows/linux dual booter...National Geographic Topo...a mapping program. It needs access to the maps stored on CD's to work properly.

 

I can run the program in wine, but I can not load any info off of CD. The program behaves exactly as it would if no CD was present in the drive. The drive is mounted, and I can access /mnt/cdrom and see the files there.

 

After reading another recent post on this topic related to a spiderman game (see http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16498&hl=),

I ran winecfg and got the following message:

 

fixme:winecfg:WinMain The winecfg tool is not yet complete, and does not actually alter your configuration.

fixme:winecfg:WinMain If you want to alter the way Wine works, look in the ~/.wine/config file for more information.

 

Unfortunately, I do not seem to have a config file in ~/.wine/, or anywhere else. The contents of ~/.wine are as follows:

 

file:/home/pmorris/.wine/dosdevices

file:/home/pmorris/.wine/drive_c

file:/home/pmorris/.wine/system.reg

file:/home/pmorris/.wine/userdef.reg

file:/home/pmorris/.wine/user.reg

 

In the nonworking winecfg setup utility, there was a place to add the CD rom drive, which leads me to believe that this config file is where the answer lies.

 

Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Thanks, Pete

 

edit: sorry, this discussion http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16018 is the one that mentions winecfg.
