Hi,
I am running programs in wine that allow you to access shell commands from
windows such as mkdir and cd etc... When I am using wine, where is this going
to go?
In particular, I am doing some ray tracing using OSLO EDU using ccl
rpogramming. I cannot figure out how to make a new directory to store stuff
but can (in windows) escape to the shell to use the mkdir as
"exec_shellcmd("mkdir c:\newdir", 0)". I would like to do this under wine,
but simply doing this didn't work - any ideas?
I don't think that what I have is exactly what you want but here it is anyway
in case it contains something that is of assistance. I use Pegasus Mail for
some e-mail processing. I wanted it to be able to use Kate (the KDE advanced
text editor) for processing temporary file copies of certain attachments. The
mechanism that it used to specify an external text editor got the Windows style
path to a temporary file mangled when done on Linux via Wine so I created the
following script which works like a charm:
#!/bin/bash
kate $(echo "${1}" | sed \
-e 's+[cC]:\\+'$HOME'\/\.wine\/drive_c\/+' \
-e 's+\\+/+g')
I then specified that it be invoked by means of /home/myuser/scripts/katebridge
with the argument being the Windows style address (including path) of the
temporary file.
