Running an app that requires Java..

Post by iome »

I am trying to run the windows version of this software on mac, through wine (it is a database manager by the Uni of Berlin, they macOS version is not supported anymore and doesn't work):

BTS_3.2.4-win32.win32.x86.zip or BTS_3.2.4-win32.win32.x86_64.zip

from here: http://aaew64.bbaw.de/bts/get/

However, when I launch it with wine, it looks for Java within its own folder..

Does anyone have any idea about how to solve this issue?

Summary: Install Java inside your BTS directory.

I've tried the 32-bit version
- Download BTS_3.2.4-win32.win32.x86.zip and the Java Windows Offline installer (jre-8u281-windows-i586.exe)
- Extract the BTS archive to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/BTS

Your $HOME/.wine/drive_c/BTS directory should like:

Code: Select all

jkfloris:~/.wine/drive_c/BTS$ ls -asl

Create the file $HOME/.wine/drive_c/java.cfg with the following two lines:

Code: Select all

INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
INSTALLDIR=C:\BTS\jre
Run the Java installer

Code: Select all

wine jre-8u281-windows-i586.exe INSTALLCFG=C:\\java.cfg
Run BTS

Code: Select all

cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/BTS
wine BTS.exe
