Hi, In november, I sent that message about invoquing wine and acrobat > Hi, > > I use wine to invoke Acrobat. > I made a shortcut like this to acroread : > "exec wine -- /mnt/disk/wtravail/applis-perso/adobe/Acrobat/Acrobat.exe $1 > 2>/dev/null" > to get it started. > > Can anyone explain why I sometimes get "file open error : file doesn't exist" > ? > I tested following : > acroread esf.pdf => works > acroread cups-pdf/esf.pdf => works (with relativ dir.) > acroread ~/cups-pdf/esf.pdf => doesn't work (whereas dir. cups-pdf is in my ~) > acroread /home/christophe27/cups-pdf/esf.pdf => doesn't work > > Has it with wine to do ? of with bash ? > > Thanks > christophe > I want to give you the updates : According to uour advice, it didn't work because I didnot use the windows way to describe a path. actually it seems it is only important to provide a drive letter. Direct or backslash is not important. Then, I modified the script to get : #!/bin/sh # if [ -z "$1" ]; then xmessage usage: $0 /unix/path/to/file exit fi export LANG=fr_FR exec wine -- /mnt/disk/wsysteme/applis/msoffice/office/excel.exe z:$1 ## eof This script is only supposed to be used with a complete path to file from the root FS(/). But excel still tells me it cannot get the file !!! I know it got a complete argument (path and file) since when I introduce a mistake, it shows me the complete path with the mistake inside. Moreover, a quick ps shows the following ps is active : /usr/bin/wine-pthread -- /mnt/disk/wsysteme/applis/msoffice/office/excel.exe z:/home/chirstophe27/wnotes/data/perso/contacts11.xls Any clue ? Could you just try to lauch a windows application with wine, introducing an argument ? Does it work for you ? (something like : wine /mnt/disk/wsysteme/applis/msoffice/office/excel.exe z:/home/chirstophe27/wnotes/data/perso/contacts11.xls). And my question would be : if it works for you, do you have an idea why it does not work for me ?
