Re: Start Windows application from another windows application

[Harry van der Wolf <harryvanderwolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the incomplete info.

First the wine version

wine --version

Wine 20050419

I started the autopano.exe tool from an xterminal with wine autopano.exe. It dumped with a lot of errors.

then I did  "echo quit | WINEDEBUG=+process,+exec,+loaddll wine autpano.exe >& debug.txt;"

 

This gives me a debug list of:

------------------------------------------------

Maybe a uselees attempt, but in my (wine beginners) eyes the only dll I could "override" was advapi32.dll, so I created a config for Wine (only) containing
-----
WINE REGISTRY Version 2


[AppDefaults\\autopano.exe\\DllOverrides]
"advapi32.dll" = "native,builtin"
-----

However, the dump gave the exact same results.

The PTgui program is shareware and can be obtained from http://www.ptgui.com including the necessary panotools (these seem to work. I will do some further testing)..
The autopano program is freeware and can be obtained from  http://autopano.kolor.com/
The enblend program is also freeware and can be obtained from http://enblend.sourceforge.net/

Do you have a clue ?

thanks,

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.

This combination of programs doesn't work in wine. I don't even think they get started as normally (in windows) a textbased cmd windows pops up and shows the "activity". When finished the text based cmd window closes and the output is returned to PTGui. 
So in short: how can I start a second windows (text based) program from the first (GUI) program in Wine ?
    

This kind of arrangement works with some other applications. If you want
to find out why it does not for yours, it must be debugged.

First:
- You did not specify the wine version. Make sure you have the latest
wine;
- if you start wine from a terminal, are there any messages when trying
to run a helper prog?
- did you try to use ps to find if the helper prog was started?
( "ps -ax|grep wine" )

If that does not give any clues, as a next step I would do a:

WINEDEBUG=+process,+exec wine PTgui.exe

and see if that gives further insights. 

  

Note: I also tried to use the linux ports/versions of the autopano tool and enblend tool, but that did not succeed either. Maybe because I'm to new to the subject. If anyone of you know how I can combine these versions instead of the windows versions, I would be very happy too.
    

Is there a (demo) version of that program somewhere available?

Rein.
