Replace <literal>X</literal> with the number of the COM

port in Windows (1-8) and <literal>Y</literal> with the
|

number of it in <literal>X</literal> (Usually the number
|
||||
of the port in Windows minus 1). <literal>ComX</literal>
|
||||
can actually equal any device
|
||||
(<medialabel>/dev/modem</medialabel> is acceptable). It is
|
||||
not always necessary to define any COM ports (An optional
|
||||
setting). Here is an example:
|
||||
<programlisting>"Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0"</programlisting>
|
||||
Use as many of these as you like in the section to define
|
||||
all of the COM ports you need.
|

</para>
|

<para>
|

The [parallelports] section sets up any parallel ports
|

that will be allowed access under wine.
|
||||
<programlisting>"LptX" = "/dev/lpY"</programlisting>
|
||||
Sounds familiar? Syntax is just like the COM port setting.
|
||||
Replace <literal>X</literal> with a value from 1-4 as it
|
||||
is in Windows and <literal>Y</literal> with a value from
|
||||
0-3 (<literal>Y</literal> is usually the value in windows
|
||||
minus 1, just like for COM ports). You don't always need
|
||||
to define a parallel port (AKA, it's optional). As with
|
||||
the other section, LptX can equal any device (Maybe
|
||||
<medialabel>/dev/printer</medialabel>). Here is an
|
||||
example: <programlisting>"Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"</programlisting>
|
||||
The [spooler] section will inform wine where to spool
|
||||
print jobs. Use this if you want to try printing. Wine

docs claim that spooling is "rather primitive" at this

<title>Short Introduction</title>

<para>
|

Wine emulates drives by placing their virtual drive roots to
|
||||
user-configurable points in the Unix filesystem, so it's your
|
||||
choice where <medialabel>C:</medialabel>'s root should be
|
||||
(<filename>tools/wineinstall</filename> will even ask you). If
|
||||
you choose, say, <filename>~/wine</filename> (or, in other
|
||||
words, <filename>/home/user/wine</filename>, since "~"
|
||||
indicates the home directory of a user), as the root of your
|
||||
virtual drive <medialabel>C:</medialabel>, then you'd put this
|
||||
into your Wine configuration file:
|
||||
Windows applications refer to disc drives by letters such as
|
||||
<filename>A:</filename>, <filename>B:</filename> and
|
||||
<filename>C:</filename>, and to serial and parallel ports by names
|
||||
such as <filename>COM1</filename>: and <filename>LPT1:</filename>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
[Drive C]

"Path" = "%HOME%/wine"
|
||||
"Type" = "hd"
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
With this configuration, what windows apps think of as
|
||||
"c:\windows\system" would map to
|
||||
<filename>/home/user/wine/windows/system</filename> in the UNIX
|
||||
filesystem.
|
||||
You need to tell Wine how to interpret these. You do so by
|
||||
specifying the Unix file system nodes and devices that Wine
|
||||
should map them onto, as described later in this section.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
You can map a Windows fixed disc drive onto any node in your
|
||||
Unix file system - this need not be the root node of a drive.
|
||||
For example, you could map your Windows drive <filename>C:</filename>
|
||||
onto your Unix directory <filename>/usr/share/wine-C</filename>.
|
||||
Then the Windows folder <filename>C:\Windows\Fonts</filename> would
|
||||
be at <filename>/usr/share/wine-C/Windows/Fonts</filename> in your
|
||||
Unix file system.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Make sure that you have assigned drive letters for directories
|
||||
that will cover all the items Wine needs to access. These include
|
||||
the programs that you run, the data files they need and the Wine
|
||||
debugger (in case anything goes wrong).
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
It is best to use a number of drive letters, and map them onto
|
||||
directories that cover small sections of the file system containing
|
||||
the files that Wine will need to access. This is safer than simply
|
||||
assigning a single drive letter to the Unix root directory
|
||||
<filename></filename>/, which would allow Windows applications to
|
||||
access the whole of your Unix file system (subject, of course,
|
||||
to Unix permissions). If one of them misbehaved, or if you
|
||||
accidentally installed a virus, this might leave you vulnerable.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
For replaceable media, such as floppy discs and CD-ROMs, you should
|
||||
map Windows drive letters onto the mount points for these drives in
|
||||
your Unix file system - for example <filename>/mnt/floppy</filename>
|
||||
or <filename>/mnt/cdrom</filename>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
If your applications access serial and parallel ports directly,
|
||||
you should map these onto the corresponding Unix devices
|
||||
- for example <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> and
|
||||
<filename>/dev/lp0</filename>.

<title>The [Drive x] Sections</title>
|
||||
<title>The dosdevices Directory</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
These sections are supposed to make certain Unix
|
||||
directory locations accessible to Wine as a DOS/Windows drive
|
||||
(drive 'x:') and thus accessible to Windows programs
|
||||
under the drive name you specified.
|
||||
Every DOS/Windows program sort of expects at least a C:
|
||||
drive (and sometimes also an A: floppy drive), so your
|
||||
configuration file should at least contain the corresponding
|
||||
sections, [Drive C] and [Drive A].
|
||||
You need to decide on whether you want to use an existing Windows
|
||||
partition as the C drive or whether you want to create your own
|
||||
Wine drive C directory tree somewhere (take care about
|
||||
permissions!).
|
||||
Each drive section may specify up to 6 different settings
|
||||
as explained below.
|
||||
The <filename>dosdevices</filename> directory contains the entries
|
||||
that tell Wine how to map Windows disc drive letters onto Unix file
|
||||
system nodes, and how to map Windows serial and parallel ports onto
|
||||
Unix devices. It is located in the <filename>.wine</filename>
|
||||
sub-directory of your home directory,
|
||||
i.e. <filename>~/.wine/dosdevices</filename>.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<programlisting>[Drive x]</programlisting>
|
||||
The above line begins the section for a drive whose letter is x
|
||||
(DOS notation: drive 'x:').
|
||||
You could e.g. create an equivalent to a drive 'C:'
|
||||
under DOS/Windows by using a [Drive C] section name.
|
||||
Note that the drive letter is case insensitive.
|
||||
The entries in the <filename>dosdevices</filename> directory are
|
||||
symbolic links to Unix file system nodes and devices. You can
|
||||
create them by using the <command>ln</command> command in a Unix
|
||||
terminal. Alternatively, many File Managers have the capability of
|
||||
creating symbolic links.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<programlisting>"Path" = "/dir/to/path"</programlisting>
|
||||
This specifies the directory where the drive will begin.
|
||||
When Wine is browsing in drive x, it will be able
|
||||
to see the files that are in the directory
|
||||
<filename>/dir/to/path</filename> and below.
|
||||
(note that symlinks to directories won't get included!
|
||||
see "<link linkend="dirsymlinks">ShowDirSymlinks</link>"
|
||||
configuration setting)
|
||||
You can also make use of environment variables like $HOME here,
|
||||
an example for using a <filename>mywinedrive</filename>
|
||||
directory in your home dir would be
|
||||
<programlisting>"Path" = "%HOME%/mywinedrive"</programlisting>,
|
||||
but don't forget to put it as a DOS environment variable,
|
||||
ie surrounded by '%' signs rather than preceded by a '$'.
|
||||
Don't forget to leave off the trailing slash!
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
<programlisting>"Type" = "hd|cdrom|network|floppy"</programlisting>
|
||||
Sets up the type of drive Wine will see it as. Type must
|
||||
equal one of the four <literal>floppy</literal>,
|
||||
<literal>hd</literal>, <literal>cdrom</literal>, or
|
||||
<literal>network</literal>. They are self-explanatory.
|
||||
(The |'s mean "Type = '<one of the options>'".)
|
||||
Usually, you choose "hd" for a drive ("hd" is default anyway).
|
||||
For a home directory entry, it makes sense to choose
|
||||
"network" sometimes, since some home directories are being
|
||||
exported over the network via NFS and thus can have slow response
|
||||
times.
|
||||
</para>

||||

||||
<programlisting>"Device" = "/dev/xx"</programlisting>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Needed for raw device access and <link linkend="config-drive-cdrom-labels">label and serial number reading</link>.
|
||||
Use this <emphasis>only</emphasis> for floppy and cdrom devices. Using it on
|
||||
Extended2 or other Unix file systems can have dire results
|
||||
(when a windows app tries to do a lowlevel write,
|
||||
they do it in a FAT way -- FAT format is completely different from
|
||||
any Unix file system).
|
||||
Also, make sure that you have proper permissions to this device
|
||||
file.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<note>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
This setting is not really important; almost all apps
|
||||
will have no problem if it remains unspecified. For
|
||||
CD-ROMs it's quite useful in order to get automatic label
|
||||
detection, though. If you are unsure about specifying
|
||||
device names, just leave out this setting for your
|
||||
drives.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</note>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Here are a few sample entries:
|
||||
For example, if you have decided to map your Windows
|
||||
<filename>C:</filename> drive onto
|
||||
<filename>/usr/share/wine-c</filename>, you could type the
|
||||
following (after changing to your <filename>dosdevices</filename>
|
||||
directory):
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
Here is a setup for Drive C, a generic hard drive:
|
||||
[Drive C]
|
||||
"Path" = "/dosc"
|
||||
"Type" = "hd"
|
||||
This is a setup for Drive E, a generic CD-ROM drive:
|
||||
[Drive E]
|
||||
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
|
||||
"Type" = "cdrom"
|
||||
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"
|
||||
And here is a setup for Drive A, a generic floppy drive:
|
||||
[Drive A]
|
||||
"Type" = "floppy"
|
||||
"Path" = "/mnt/floppy"
|
||||
"Device" = "/dev/fd0"
|
||||
ln -s /usr/share/wine-c c:
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Replaceable media are a little more complicated. In addition to
|
||||
creating a link for the file system on the medium, for example:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
ln -s /mnt/floppy a:
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
you also need to create a link for the device itself. Notice that
|
||||
this has a double colon after the drive letter:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
ln -s /dev/fd0 a::
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
For serial and parallel ports, you simply create a link to
|
||||
the device; notice that no colon is required after the Windows
|
||||
device name:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
