.TH WINE.CONF 5 "July 16, 1999" "Version 990704" "Wine Configuration File"
.SH NAME
wine.conf \- Wine configuration file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B wine
expects a configuration file (
.I @sysconfdir@/wine.conf
), which should
conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
file). Common locations are /usr/local/etc/wine.conf or
(in some distributions) /etc/wine.conf. The actual directory
where that file resides may be specified during the execution of the
.B configure
script with the --sysconfdir option. Alternatively, you may have a
.I .winerc
file of this format in your home directory or have the environment variable
.B WINE_INI
pointing to a configuration file, or use the --config option on the command
line.
A sample configuration file is available as wine.ini in the base directory
of the Wine source distribution.
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
.br
.I [section name]
.br
and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
consist of lines of the form
.br
.I entry=value
.br
The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
surrounded by
.I ${}.
Supported section names and entries are listed below.
.PP
.B [Drive X]
.br
This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
.B DOS
drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
drive you want to configure.
.PP
.I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
.br
default: none
.br
If you mounted your dos partition as
.I /dos
and installed Microsoft Windows in
C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
.I Path=/dos
in the
.I [Drive C]
section.
.PP
.I format: Type = <type>
.br
default: hd
.br
Used to specify the drive type this drive appears as in Windows
or DOS programs; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
and network.
.PP
.I format: Label = <label>
.br
default: 'Drive X'
.br
Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters.
.PP
.I format: Serial = <serial>
.br
default: 12345678
.br
Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal
number.
.PP
.I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
.br
default: win95
.br
Used to specify the type of the file system Wine should emulate on a given
directory structure/underlying file system.
.br
Supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix.
.br
Recommended:
.br
win95 for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
.br
msdos for FAT16 (ugly)
.br
You definitely don't want to use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib.
.br
Always try to avoid using FAT16. Use VFAT/FAT32 OS file system driver instead !
.PP
.I format: FailReadOnly=<boolean>
.br
Read-only files may not be opened in write mode (the default is to
allow opening read-only files for writing, because most Windows
programs always request read-write access, even on CD-ROM drives...).
.PP
.B [wine]
.br
.I format: windows = <directory>
.br
default: C:\\WINDOWS
.br
Used to specify a different Windows directory
.PP
.I format: system = <directory>
.br
default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
.br
Used to specify a different system directory
.PP
.I format: temp = <directory>
.br
default: C:\\TEMP
.br
Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
temporary files.
.PP
.I format: profile = <directory>
.br
default: nothing
.br
Used to specify a directory where Windows stores special folders and the user-registry files (user.dat or ntuser.dat).
Mapped to environment variable %USERPROFILE%.
Set this value when running with a native NT or a native win95 directory with per-user settings.
.PP
.I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
.br
default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
.br
Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
.PP
.I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
.br
default: wine.sym
.br
Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
debugger.
.PP
.B [DllDefaults]
.br
.I format: EXTRA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=@prefix@/lib/wine[:/more/path/to/search[:...]]
.br
The path will be appended to any existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the
environment for the search of elfdlls and .so libraries.
.PP
.I format: DefaultLoadOrder=native,elfdll,so,builtin
.br
A comma separated list of module-types to try to load in that specific
order. The DefaultLoadOrder key is used as a fallback when a module is
not specified explicitely. If the DefaultLoadOrder key is not found,
then the order "native,elfdll,so,builtin" is used.
.br
Case is not (yet) important and only the first letter of each type is enough
to identify the type n[ative], e[lfdll], s[o], b[uiltin]. Also whitespace is
ignored. Keep everything in lower case to be sure that your entries keep the
same meaning. See also commandline option
.I --dll
for details about the allowable types.
.PP
.B [DllOverrides]
.br
There are no explicit keys defined other than module/library names. A comma
separated list of modules is followed by an assignment of the load order
for these specific modules. See above for possible types. You should not
specify an extension.
.br
Examples:
.br
.I kernel32, gdi32, user32 = builtin
.br
.I kernel, gdi, user = builtin
.br
.I comdlg32 = elfdll, native, builtin
.br
.I commdlg = native, builtin
.br
.I version, ver = elfdll, native, builtin
.br
Changing the load order of kernel/kernel32 and gdi/gdi32 to
anything other than builtin will cause wine to fail because wine cannot
use native versions for these libraries (gdi[32] might work native someday,
but kernel[32] will never work native). These libraries are also the last
to be converted to elfdlls and will live as builtins for quite some time
to come.
Note that using the native versions of user[32] isn't recommended right now,
as these modules face nearly the same problems as kernel/gdi and we only
just managed to make them work partially. But trying to use it might get
your program running.
.br
Always make sure that you have some kind of strategy in mind when you start
fiddling with the current defaults and needless to say that you must know
what you are doing.
.PP
.B [DllPairs]
.br
This is a simple pairing in the form 'name1 = name2'. It is supposed to
identify the dlls that cannot live without eachother unless they are
loaded in the same format. Examples are common dialogs and controls,
shell, kernel, gdi, user, etc...
.br
The code will issue a warning if the loadorder of these pairs are different
and might cause hard-to-find bugs due to incompatible pairs loaded at
run-time. Note that this pairing gives
.B no
guarantee that the pairs
actually get loaded as the same type, nor that the correct versions are
loaded (might be implemented later). It merely notes obvious trouble.
.br
Examples:
.br
.I kernel = kernel32
.br
.I commdlg = comdlg32
.br
The implementation will probably change in a later stage to force pairs to
be loaded correctly, but there are also drawbacks with such an approach.
.PP
.B [serialports]
.br
.I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
.br
default: none
.br
Used to specify the devices which are used as COM1 - COM8.
.PP
.B [parallelports]
.br
.I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
.br
default: none
.br
Used to specify the devices which are used as LPT1 - LPT8.
.PP
.B [spy]
.br
.I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
.br
default: none
.br
Used to specify the file which will be used as
.B logfile.
.PP
.I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
.br
default: none
.br
Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
.PP
.I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
.br
default: none
.br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
.PP
.B [Tweak.Layout]
.br
.I format: WineLook=<Win31|Win95|Win98>
.br
default: Win31
.br
Use Win95-like window displays or Win3.1-like window displays.
.PP
.B [Registry]
.br
.I format: AltCurrentUserFile=<filename>
.br
alternate registry file name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
.PP
.I format: AltUserFile=<filename>
.br
alternate registry file name: HKKEY_USERS
.PP
.I format: AltLocalMachineFile=<filename>
.br
alternate registry file name: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE
.PP
.I format: LoadAltRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
Load above registries.
.PP
.I format: WritetoAltRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
TRY to write all changes to alt registries
.PP
.I format: LoadGlobalRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
Global registries (stored in /etc)
.PP
.I format: LoadHomeRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
Home registries (stored in ~user/.wine/)
.PP
.I format: WritetoHomeRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
TRY to write all changes to alt registries
.PP
.I format: LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=<boolean>
.br
Load Windows registry from the current Windows directory.
.PP
booleans: Y/y/T/t/1 are true, N/n/F/f/0 are false.
.br
Defaults are read all, write to Home and Alt
.PP
Note: it is pointless to specify alt files and neither load nor write to them.
