[solved] Where is Wine
Hallo forum,
I want to make a batchfile to start wxDev-cpp from a terminal.
To do so, I have to locate Wine.
I now have:
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Dev-Cpp/
./devcpp.exe
I found this in a tutorial on a website, but it don't work.
I downloaded Wine from the software center of Mint14 but I don't know where it is and what I must do to make the batchfile open the program.
tnx

Re: where is Wine
I deinstalled Wine from the softwarecenter and installed it out of the terminal.
with: sudo apt-get install wine
Then: chmod +x ./devcpp
Don't know why but the turorial said so.
Now it works!
Note that ProgramFiles is without a space in my Wine/Windows.

Re: where is Wine
To find where a program is stored, use the 'which' command. it will make your scripting infinitely less painful.
The syntax is:

Code: Select all
which wine
Re: where is Wine
Thank you, I would never find out myself.
How do people know all this?
Is there a book for or something online?

Re: where is Wine
I actually found it by googling for a solution to a problem I was having. I was trying to make a script, and it had the same problem yours had.

Re: where is Wine
I found a site explaining and teaching the use of the terminal and made some progress.
Re: where is Wine
As a fellow Newbie, I have just installed Wine.
Here is how I did it (no offense to the local Gurus).
I assume you have updated and upgraded all your Cinnamon files via your Terminal.
Open your Synaptic Package Manager.
Click on the Search button.
Enter wine in the new popup window.
Click on this new window's Search button.
You might have to slide down the window containing all the packages since the "w" in wine will be at the bottom of the list.
Chick on the S column next to wine package.
You'll want to install all the associated packages.
You should be able take it from here.
Sorry, if this procedure is a little off. My memory is not what it used to be.
Good luck...Gandalf

Re: where is Wine
Hallo Gendalf,
Thanks for the suggestion.
When I found the Wine-packages in Synaptic, I saw that I wanted to delete 1 associated package (the one with the Microsoft Browser) and wanted to install 1 package (the one with the debugger)
Al the associated Wine packages are of the most recent version 1.4.
What I don't understand is that when I click the green field on the left, the options are limited to:
re-install
remove
remove completely
Mark for upgrade is grey and I cannot give it the focus to select this option.
Why is this so, and does it mean I can't upgrade Wine anyhow in the future?
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: where is Wine
When re-install is selectable, I think that means that wine is already available on your system.KeesA wrote:Hallo Gendalf,

Worse come to worse, you can always reinstall it. Can't see that that would hurt anything, but I am a newbie.
I think you can find wine in your Menu by selecting All > Winetricks (Install applications on Wine).
As for that last part I have not idea.
Good Luck

Re: where is Wine
Yes you can upgrade. There are two ways to upgrade a program; wait until it becomes available in repositories,which can take weeks to months or never. The second way is to add a ppa to your software sources to upgrade. Here's how to install the lastest version of wine on Mint.KeesA wrote: Mark for upgrade is grey and I cannot give it the focus to select this option.

Re: where is Wine
Today, I found an upgrade available via Synaptic. Version 1.5, I think.
Re: where is Wine
I think I will wait for an official upgrade.
All works fine, so their is no special need to upgrade but I was wondering why this option is not checkable at the moment in Synaptic.
The use of ppa's is on some Linux-boards discouraged.
Some say that ppa's are not always enough tested and can not always be trusted.
Kind regards,
Kees
