I need further understanding of wine or bash

[Damon L. Chesser]

I have a game (only one :) ) that runs in win.  I find I can use thunar 
or nautilus to tunnel down to the executable and right click, choose 
"open with wine", game runs fine.


This is tedious.  So, using my superior knowledge of scripting, I 
thought I would just make a quick bash script and execute it:

--

#bin/bash!
wine /home/damon/C_drive/'Program Files'/'Stardock Games'/'Sins of a 
Solar Empire'/'Sins of a Solar Empire.exe'


--

As you can see, it is simply genius the way I used ALL of my bash 
scripting knowledge.


Of course, I chmoded it. 


When I execute it I get:

fixme:dbghelp:MiniDumpWriteDump NIY MiniDumpWithDataSegs

and the program does a dump then exits.

I have tried to do a symlink from the win partition /windows/system32 to 
/home/damon/C_drive/windows/system32 but I get the same result.


Again, if I use a GUI file manager and tunnel down (wines working dir is 
~/C_drive/Program Files, which is nothing but a symlink to the real 
win/Program Files) and select "open with wine" it works, if I use a term 
and cd into the games dir and type " wine Sins\ of\ a\ Solar\ Empire.exe 
" it works.


What am I missing to make it work with a simple script to avoid all the 
typing or the tunneling via a GUI?

I must confess I haven't read your email in full, but why not just a desktop 
shortcut to:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/damon/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins 
of a Solar Empire\Sins of a Solar Empire.exe"

YMMV.

Good luck!

Chris.

Why not try adding a 'cd into the games dir' before the wine line?

Brian

Brian,

That worked:

#bin/bash!

cd /home/damon/C_drive/'Program Files'/'Stardock Games'/'Sins of a Solar 
Empire'

wine 'Sins of a Solar Empire.exe'

One issue that I see that you should fix (though it won't affect your
results):
#bin/bash!
Should be:
#!/usr/bin/bash
Or better yet:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

Oh, duh. Of course bash isn't in /usr/bin. I guess I forgot my linux for a
second. :P
Thanks for fixing my mistake. And sorry to Damon.

Hey,

I am the guy, after seen this for YEARS wrote #bin/bash!  !  If I would 
have taken a second to SAY it (sha-bang) I would have realized it.  No 
apologies needed.

I'm still not sure why they're called sha-bangs.. am i missing something
really blatant?

LOL, Damned if I know.  Goes back to a time when gods walked the halls 
of AT&T I think.  I am thinking of people who did not like the new 
fangled "text" editor because "I do not like to see the state of the 
file while I am editing it".  Quote is from "*Go to: The Story of the

when he was shown emm (Editor for Mere Mortals) and his response is why 
it was named Emm or so the author claims.  Forwarding this back to the 
list, maybe someone knows?

You've gotta be careful with #!/bin/sh it may not be linked to bash,
i.e:

ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-01-22 04:04 /bin/sh -> /bin/dash

I did check for bashism in the script before posting it.

I tend to avoid bashism in my scripts for exactly that reason.
