Game Maker and WINE

Post by zmmaj »

I need a little help about how to do next:

- How to make "Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Temp "
where is " user" arbitration name, for example " zmmaj"
- Why direct sound do not work under WINE?

Oke sound is not general problem, I will use dll for that... But please, tell me how to make tha TEMP file... One of reason why GM crash is that...
GM need temp file for correct work

tnx

I think that c:/Documents and Settings/ stuff is a Vista path? Try setting Windows version to Vista in winecfg. If that doesn't work and you are using wine 1.1.41, Bug report it: http://bugs.winehq.org/
And try newer wine.

As a last resort you could make the Temp folder it wants, if necessary. Maybe something like this:
mkdir -p "`winepath "c:/Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Temp"`"
Bash nested quotes don't need escaping.
If that works, bug report it anyway, in the spirit of making wine better.

Works for me. What application are you trying to run, and what's your Wine version?

Also, you mean a Temp directory. You can make the one you specifically asked for by running the following command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

mkdir "~/.wine/drive_c/Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Temp"
Though it's more likely you need to use Wine's "C:\users\your_username" directory instead. That makes the above command like this:

Code: Select all

mkdir "~/.wine/drive_c/users/your_username/Local Settings/Temp"
Replace your_username with, well, your username.
