+ <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.
