This chapter will describe all aspects of running Wine, like e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
basic Wine invocation, command line parameters of various Wine
|
|
|
|
|
support programs etc.

Assuming you are using a fake Windows installation, you install
|
|
|
|
|
applications into Wine in the same way you would in Windows: by
|
|
|
|
|
running the installer. You can just accept the defaults for
|
|
|
|
|
where to install, most installers will default to "C:\Program
|
|
|
|
|
Files", which is fine. If the application installer requests it,
|
|
|
|
|
you may find that Wine creates icons on your desktop and in your
|
|
|
|
|
app menu. If that happens, you can start the app by clicking on
|
|
|
|
|
them.

The standard way to uninstall things is for the application to
|
|
|
|
|
provide an uninstaller, usually registered with the "Add/Remove
|
|
|
|
|
Programs" control panel applet.
|
|
|
|
|
To access the Wine equivalent, run the <command>uninstaller</command>
|
|
|
|
|
program (it is located in the
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>programs/uninstaller/</filename> directory in a Wine
|
|
|
|
|
source directory) in a <glossterm>terminal</glossterm>:

Some programs install associated control panel applets, examples
|
|
|
|
|
of this would be Internet Explorer and QuickTime. You can access
|
|
|
|
|
the Wine control panel by running in a
|
|
|
|
|
<glossterm>terminal</glossterm>:

applets in it, as in Windows.

If the application doesn't install menu or desktop items, you'll
|
|
|
|
|
need to run the app from the command line. Remembering where you
|
|
|
|
|
installed to, something like:
|
2003-02-26 05:33:29 +01:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
2003-04-01 05:26:13 +02:00
|
|
|
will probably do the trick. The path isn't case sensitive, but
|
|
|
|
|
remember to include the double quotes. Some programs don't
|
|
|
|
|
always use obvious naming for their directories and EXE files,
|
|
|
|
|
so you might have to look inside the program files directory to
|
2004-01-30 23:58:26 +01:00
|
|
|
see what was put where.

Usage: ./wine [options] program_name [arguments]
|

Options:
|

|
--debugmsg name Turn debugging-messages on or off

--help,-h Show this help message

You can specify as many options as you want, if any.
|
|
|
|
|
Typically, you will want to have your configuration file set
|
|
|
|
|
up with a sensible set of defaults; in this case, you can run
|
|
|
|
|
<command>wine</command> without explicitly listing any
|
|
|
|
|
options. In rare cases, you might want to override certain
|
2002-07-08 21:36:51 +02:00
|
|
|
parameters on the command line.
|
2000-12-13 22:52:37 +01:00
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
After the options, you should put the name of the file you
|
|
|
|
|
want <command>wine</command> to execute. If the executable is
|
|
|
|
|
in the <parameter>Path</parameter> parameter in the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file, you can simply give the executable file
|
|
|
|
|
name. However, if the executable is not in
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>Path</parameter>, you must give the full path to
|
|
|
|
|
the executable (in Windows format, not UNIX format!). For
|
|
|
|
|
example, given a <parameter>Path</parameter> of the following:

If you prefer using a graphical interface to manage your
|
|
|
|
|
files you might want to consider using Winefile. This Winelib
|
|
|
|
|
application comes with Wine and can be found with the other
|
|
|
|
|
Wine programs. It is a useful way to view your drive configuration
|
|
|
|
|
and locate files, plus you can execute programs directly from
|
|
|
|
|
Winefile. Please note, many functions are not yet implemented.

Wine isn't perfect, and many Windows applications still
|
2002-07-24 05:00:02 +02:00
|
|
|
don't run without bugs under Wine (but then, a lot of programs
|
2000-12-13 22:52:37 +01:00
|
|
|
don't run without bugs under native Windows either!). To
|
|
|
|
|
make it easier for people to track down the causes behind
|
|
|
|
|
each bug, Wine provides a number of <firstterm>debug
|
|
|
|
|
channels</firstterm> that you can tap into.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Each debug channel, when activated, will trigger logging
|
|
|
|
|
messages to be displayed to the console where you invoked
|
|
|
|
|
<command>wine</command>. From there you can redirect the
|
|
|
|
|
messages to a file and examine it at your leisure. But be
|
|
|
|
|
forewarned! Some debug channels can generate incredible
|
|
|
|
|
volumes of log messages. Among the most prolific offenders
|
|
|
|
|
are <parameter>relay</parameter> which spits out a log
|
|
|
|
|
message every time a win32 function is called,
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>win</parameter> which tracks windows message
|
|
|
|
|
passing, and of course <parameter>all</parameter> which is
|
|
|
|
|
an alias for every single debug channel that exists. For a
|
|
|
|
|
complex application, your debug logs can easily top 1 MB and
|
|
|
|
|
higher. A <parameter>relay</parameter> trace can often
|
|
|
|
|
generate more than 10 MB of log messages, depending on how
|
2002-10-19 03:00:04 +02:00
|
|
|
long you run the application. (As described in the
|
|
|
|
|
<link linkend = "config-debug-etc">Debug</link>
|
|
|
|
|
section of configuring wine you can
|
|
|
|
|
modify what the <parameter>relay</parameter> trace reports).
|
|
|
|
|
Logging does slow down Wine
|
2000-12-13 22:52:37 +01:00
|
|
|
quite a bit, so don't use <parameter>--debugmsg</parameter>
|
|
|
|
|
unless you really do want log files.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Within each debug channel, you can further specify a
|
|
|
|
|
<firstterm>message class</firstterm>, to filter out the
|
|
|
|
|
different severities of errors. The four message classes
|
|
|
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
|
<simplelist type="inline">
|
|
|
|
|
<member><parameter>trace</parameter></member>
|
|
|
|
|
<member><parameter>fixme</parameter></member>
|
|
|
|
|
<member><parameter>warn</parameter></member>
|
|
|
|
|
<member><parameter>err</parameter></member>
|
|
|
|
|
</simplelist>.
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
To turn on a debug channel, use the form
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>class+channel</parameter>. To turn it off, use
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>class-channel</parameter>. To list more than one
|
|
|
|
|
channel in the same <parameter>--debugmsg</parameter>
|
|
|
|
|
option, separate them with commas. For example, to request
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>warn</parameter> class messages in the
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>heap</parameter> debug channel, you could invoke
|
|
|
|
|
<command>wine</command> like this:
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --debugmsg warn+heap <replaceable>program_name</replaceable></userinput>
|
|
|
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
If you leave off the message class, <command>wine</command>
|
|
|
|
|
will display messages from all four classes for that channel:
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --debugmsg +heap <replaceable>program_name</replaceable></userinput>
|
|
|
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
If you wanted to see log messages for everything except the
|
|
|
|
|
relay channel, you might do something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --debugmsg +all,-relay <replaceable>program_name</replaceable></userinput>

wineserver usually gets started automatically by Wine whenever
|
|
|
|
|
the first wine process gets started.
|
|
|
|
|
However, wineserver has some useful command line options that
|
|
|
|
|
you can add if you start it up manually, e.g. via a user login
|
|
|
|
|
script or so.

Usually, wineserver quits almost immediately after the last

|
|
|
|
wine process using this wineserver terminated.
|
|
|
|
|
However, since wineserver loads a lot of things on startup
|
|
|
|
|
(such as the whole Windows registry data), its startup might
|
|
|
|
|
be so slow that it's very useful to keep it from exiting after
|
|
|
|
|
the end of all Wine sessions, by making it persistent.

<title>Setting Windows/DOS environment variables</title>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Your program might require some environment variable to be set
|
|
|
|
|
properly in order to run successfully.
|
|
|
|
|
In this case you need to set this environment variable in the
|
|
|
|
|
Linux shell, since Wine will pass on the entire shell environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable settings to the Windows environment variable space.
|
|
|
|
|
Example for the bash shell (other shells may have a different syntax
|
|
|
|
|
!):
|
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
|
|
|
export MYENVIRONMENTVAR=myenvironmentvarsetting
|
|
|
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
|
This will make sure your Windows program can access the
|
|
|
|
|
MYENVIRONMENTVAR environment variable once you start your program
|
|
|
|
|
using Wine.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to have MYENVIRONMENTVAR set permanently, then you can
|
|
|
|
|
place the setting into /etc/profile, or also ~/.bashrc in the case of
|
|
|
|
|
bash.

<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Note however that there is an exception to the rule:
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the PATH environment variable, then of
|
|
|
|
|
course you can't modify it that way, since this will alter the
|
|
|
|
|
Unix PATH environment setting. Instead, you should set the
|
|
|
|
|
WINEPATH environment variable. An alternative way to
|
|
|
|
|
indicate the content of the DOS PATH environment variable would
|
|
|
|
|
be to change the "path" setting in the wine config file's <link
|
|
|
|
|
linkend="config-wine">[wine]</link> section.

<title>Text mode programs (CUI: Console User Interface)</title>

<para>Text mode programs are program which output is only made

2003-07-09 21:50:14 +02:00

out of text (surprise!). In Windows terminology, they are

|

called CUI (Console User Interface) executables, by opposition
|
|
|

|
to GUI (Graphical User Interface) executables. Win32 API
|
|
|
|
|
provide a complete set of APIs to handle this situation, which
|
|
|
|
|
goes from basic features like text printing, up to high level
|
2003-07-09 21:50:14 +02:00
|
|
|
functionalities (like full screen editing, color support,
|
2003-03-10 20:06:46 +01:00

cursor motion, mouse support), going through features like

Given the wide scope of features above, and the current usage

|
|
|
|
in Un*x world, Wine comes out with three different ways for
|
|
|
|
|
running a console program (aka a CUI executable):

|

|
|
that no extra support of wine is provide to map between the
|
|
|
|
|
unix console access and Windows console access. The two other
|
|
|
|
|
ways require the use of a specific Wine program (wineconsole)
|
|
|
|
|
which provide extended facilities. The following table
|

describes what you can do (and cannot do) with those three

ways.

When wineconsole is used, several configuration options are
|
|
|
|
|
available. Wine (as Windows do) stores, on a per application
|
|
|
|
|
basis, several options in the registry. This let a user, for
|
|
|
|
|
example, define the default screen-buffer size he would like
|
|
|
|
|
to have for a given application.

As of today, only the USER backend allows you to edit those
|
|
|
|
|
options (we don't recommend editing by hand the registry
|
|
|
|
|
contents). This edition is fired when a user right click in
|
|
|
|
|
the console (this popups a menu), where you can either
|
|
|
|
|
choose from:
|
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Default: this will edit the settings shared by all
|
|
|
|
|
applications which haven't been configured yet. So,
|
|
|
|
|
when an application is first run (on your machine,
|
|
|
|
|
under your account) in wineconsole, wineconsole will
|
|
|
|
|
inherit this default settings for the
|
|
|
|
|
application. Afterwards, the application will have its
|
|
|
|
|
own settings, that you'll be able to modify at your will.

Properties: this will edit the application's
|
|
|
|
|
settings. When you're done, with the edition, you'll
|
|
|
|
|
be prompted whether you want to:
|
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
Keep these modified settings only for this
|
|
|
|
|
session (next time you run the application, you
|
|
|
|
|
will not see the modification you've just made).

|
|

|
Use the settings for this session and save them
|
|
|
|
|
as well, so that next you run your application,
|
|
|
|
|
you'll use these new settings again.

It's been said earlier that wineconsole
|
|
|
|
|
configuration popup was triggered using a right
|
|
|
|
|
click in the console's window. However, this can
|
|
|
|
|
be an issue when the application you run inside
|
|
|
|
|
wineconsole expects the right click events to be
|
|
|
|
|
sent to it. By ticking control or shift you select
|
|
|
|
|
additional modifiers on the right click for
|
|
|
|
|
opening the popup. For example, ticking shift will
|
|
|
|
|
send events to the application when you right
|
|
|
|
|
click the window without shift being hold down,
|
|
|
|
|
and open the window when you right-click while
|
|
|
|
|
shift being hold down.

This tick box lets you decide whether left-click
|
|
|
|
|
mouse events shall be interpreted as events to be
|
|
|
|
|
sent to the underlying application (tick off) or
|
|
|
|
|
as a selection of rectangular part of the screen
|
|
|
|
|
to be later on copied onto the clipboard (tick on).

This lets you pick up how many commands you want
|
|
|
|
|
the console to recall. You can also drive whether
|
|
|
|
|
you want, when entering several times the same

|
|
|
command - potentially intertwined with others -
|
2003-03-10 20:06:46 +01:00
|
|
|
whether you want to store all of them (tick off)
|
|
|
|
|
or only the last one (tick on).

The console as you see it is made of two different
|
|
|
|
|
parts. On one hand there's the screenbuffer which
|
|
|
|
|
contains all the information your application puts
|
|
|
|
|
on the screen, and the window which displays a
|
|
|
|
|
given area of this screen buffer. Note that the
|
|
|
|
|
window is always smaller or of the same size than
|
|
|
|
|
the screen buffer. Having a stricly smaller window
|
|
|
|
|
size will put on scrollbars on the window so that
|
|
|
|
|
you can see the whole screenbuffer's content.

If it's ticked, then the wineconsole will exit
|
|
|
|
|
when the application within terminates. Otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
it'll remain opened until the user manually closes

|
|
|
|
it: this allows seeing the latest information of a
|
|
|
|
|
program after it has terminated.
