<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="configuring">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:

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. If you find yourself using
|
|
the same long set of command options with certain
|
|
applications, you might find it easier to work with multiple
|
|
config files, using the <link
|
|
linkend="config-parameter"><parameter>--config</parameter>
|
|
parameter</link> to specify a non-default configuration.
|
|
</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>
|
|
Finally, if you want to pass any parameters to your windows
|
|
application, you can list them at the end, just after the
|
|
executable name. Thus, to run the imaginary
|
|
<command>foo.exe</command> Windows application with its
|
|
<parameter>/advanced</parameter> mode parameter, while
|
|
invoking Wine in <link
|
|
linkend="managed-parameter"><parameter>--managed</parameter>
|
|
mode</link>, you would do something like this:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --managed foo.exe /advanced</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In other words, options that affect Wine should come
|
|
<emphasis>before</emphasis> the Windows program name, while
|
|
options that affect the Windows program should come
|
|
<emphasis>after</emphasis> it.

<sect2 id="config-parameter">
|
|
<title>--config</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <parameter>--config</parameter> parameter allows you to
|
|
specify which configuration file you want to use for the
|
|
current invocation of <command>wine</command>. For example,
|
|
if you like to run a specific application or set of
|
|
applications with a different array of options than your
|
|
normal defaults, you might set up a different config file
|
|
for them, and use the <parameter>--config</parameter> option
|
|
to make use of it.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The default value of <parameter>--config</parameter> is
|
|
<filename>~/.winerc</filename>. This value is hardwired
|
|
into the Wine source code. In future versions of Wine, the
|
|
default may change to <filename>~/.wine/conf</filename>.

<title>--debugmsg [channels]</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Wine isn't perfect, and many Windows applications still
|
|
don't run without bugs under Wine (but then, many of them
|
|
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. 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 master list of all the debug channels and classes
|
|
in Wine. More channels might be added to (or subtracted
|
|
from) later versions.

<title>--desktop [geometry]</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default, <command>wine</command> runs applications on
|
|
your regular desktop. Wine application windows intermingle
|
|
with native X11 applications. Windows overlap each other,
|
|
and you can resize them in relation to each other.
|
|
Normally, when you minimize Wine windows, they collapse into
|
|
a small icon at the lower left corner of your desktop,
|
|
circumventing the behavior of your other non-Wine windows.
|
|
However, if you're running in <link linkend="managed-parameter">
|
|
--managed mode</link>, your Wine applications will minimize
|
|
just like your other windows.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Sometimes, you may want to restrict Wine windows to a
|
|
smaller area of your desktop. This is what the
|
|
<parameter>--desktop</parameter> option controls. Whenever
|
|
you pass this option to <command>wine</command>, it will
|
|
create a window of that size and use that as Wine's desktop
|
|
instead of borrowing the regular desktop space. Wine will
|
|
then place the application window inside the new desktop
|
|
window. If you minimize the application, it will iconize to
|
|
the bottom left corner of its own desktop window.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <parameter>--desktop</parameter> option geometry info in
|
|
the standard X11 geometry format, e.g., "640x480" for a
|
|
desktop window 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high. You can
|
|
also in theory specify the coordinates of the upper left
|
|
corner of the desktop window, but your window manager may
|
|
choose to override that request. The following invocation
|
|
would open a new 640 x 480 desktop window at coordinates
|
|
(10, 25):
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --desktop 640x480+10+25 foo.exe</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
More commonly, you'll leave off the starting coordinates,
|
|
and only use the height and width:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --desktop 640x480 foo.exe</userinput>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
</para>
|
|
</sect2>
|
|
|
|
<sect2>
|
|
<title>--display</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default, wine will display its windows on whichever X
|
|
Display you have in the <envar>$DISPLAY</envar> environment
|
|
variable. Often, <envar>$DISPLAY</envar> is set to
|
|
<literal>:0</literal>, which sends all windows to the
|
|
primary video monitor on the current host machine.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To send windows to a different monitor on the same system,
|
|
you could change <literal>:0</literal> to a different
|
|
number, for example <literal>:1</literal> to send output to
|
|
the second monitor. You can also specify other systems. If
|
|
you were logged into the system <systemitem
|
|
class="systemname">alpha</systemitem>, but wanted wine to
|
|
run on another system on the network, <systemitem
|
|
class="systemname">beta</systemitem>, you might use a
|
|
<envar>$DISPLAY</envar> of <literal>beta:0</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You can also declare display values on the wine command
|
|
line, using the <parameter>--display</parameter> option.
|
|
The last example above might look like this:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> wine --display="beta:0" foo.exe

|
</programlisting>
