Hi all,

Being a little (completely) fed-up with windows, I'd like to make a
complete switch to Linux, which I already use for about 90%. I still
use a specific panorama photo stiching program within WinXP called
PTGui. The PTGui program runs fine within Wine. However, PTgui
knows/uses two "helper" programs called autopano(.exe) and
enblend(.exe). Both are console based executables doing calculations
for ptgui. PTGui has the option to call them from within PTGui. After
the (external) program (for example autopano) has run, the output is
somehow picked up and used within ptgui. The same works for enblend.

I don't have an answer for you, unfortunately. I just thought I would mention that in general programs running under Wine can execute additional programs with no problem. I use an engineering program, where a GUI frontend executes a series of separate executables. And the gui sends and receives data from the programs via pipes. The difference from your example is that my program does not open terminal windows to do that.


So I am guessing that your program is trying to run cmd.exe, and probably does not find it. I believe there is a Wine equivalent to that somewhere, though I am not sure what it is. So probably there needs to be a way, when a program tries to execute cmd.exe, to run the Wine equivalent.
