<title>Basic usage: applications and control panel applets</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>uninstaller</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Some programs install associated control panel applets, examples
|
|
of this would be Internet Explorer and QuickTime. You can access
|
|
the Wine control panel by running in a
|
|
<glossterm>terminal</glossterm>:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine control</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
which will open a window with the installed control panel
|
|
applets in it, as in Windows.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine "c:\program files\appname\appname.exe"</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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
|
|
see what it put where.

<title>How to run Wine</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Wine is a very complicated piece of software with many ways to
|
|
adjust how it runs. With very few exceptions, you can
|
|
activate the same set of features through the <link
|
|
linkend="config-file">configuration file</link> as you can
|
|
with command-line parameters. In this chapter, we'll briefly
|
|
discuss these parameters, and match them up with their
|
|
corresponding configuration variables.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
You can invoke the <command>wine --help</command> command to
|
|
get a listing of all Wine's command-line parameters:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<screen>
|
|
Usage: ./wine [options] program_name [arguments]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
--debugmsg name Turn debugging-messages on or off
|
|
--help,-h Show this help message
|
|
--version,-v Display the Wine version
|
|
</screen>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
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
|
|
parameters on the command line.
|
|
</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:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<screen>
|
|
[wine]
|
|
"Path"="c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\;e:\\test;f:\\"
|
|
</screen>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You could run the file
|
|
<filename>c:\windows\system\foo.exe</filename> with:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine foo.exe</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
<para>
|
|
However, you would have to run the file
|
|
<filename>c:\myapps\foo.exe</filename> with this command:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine c:\\myapps\\foo.exe</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
<para>
|
|
(note the backslash-escaped "\" !)

If you don't feel like manually invoking Wine for every program
|
|
you want to run and instead want to have an integrated graphical
|
|
interface to run your Windows programs in, then installing e.g.
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.calmira.org">Calmira</ulink>, a
|
|
Win95-Explorer-like shell replacement, would probably be a great
|
|
idea. Calmira might still have a few problems running on Wine,
|
|
though. Other usable Explorer replacements should be listed here
|
|
in the future.

<para>
|
|
Wine isn't perfect, and many Windows applications still
|
|
don't run without bugs under Wine (but then, a lot of programs
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Here is a list of the debug channels and classes in Wine.
|
|
More channels will be added to (or subtracted from) later
|
|
versions.

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.

<sect1 id="environment-variables">
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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
|

<title>Text mode programs (CUI: Console User Interface)</title>
|
|
<para>Text mode programs are program which output is only made
|
|
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
|
|
functionalities (like full screen editing, color support,
|
|
cursor motion, mouse support), going through features like
|
|
line editing or raw/cooked input stream support
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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):

</para>
|
|
<para>The names here are a bit obscure. "bare streams" means
|
|
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.

<title>Configuration of CUI executables</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|

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).
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|

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

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 -
|
|
whether you want to store all of them (tick off)
|
|
or only the last one (tick on).

<entry>Screenbuffer & window size</entry>
|
|
<entry>
|
|
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.
