moved to Ubuntu 10.04 no space on /home

[mickthebike]

Hi
I've moved to Ubuntu 10.04 but have not enough space on /home but for ex. at /apps. Now could I move my previouse applications from ~/.wine to /apps/.wine?
How to tell wine while compiling the src?
Many thanks
Michael

You can use a prefix at configure time; look in ./configure --help

OR

You could make a symlink from ~/.wine/drive_c to /apps/drive_c after you
moved it (and maybe other drives as well, did not test)

Many thanks

The prefix set by configure specifies where Wine itself is installed. It has nothing the do with the wineprefix.

To use a wineprefix other than the default you need to set the WINEPREFIX environment variable.

As a reminder, this environment variable can be set in either the user's
.profile or .bashrc file to make it sort of permanent.

Yeah I know. I thought there might be some kind of option to set a
different "default" wineprefix (had no direct
access to a wine 'configure --help' output). Bad wording. My mistake.

That won't help him since he wants to move his applications, not reinstall
them all under a different prefix as I understood.

Set the WINEPREFIX and then type in the following command in a terminal
window:

Code: Select all

mv $HOME/.wine <path/to/WINEPREFIX>

That should move the files and allow them to be run.
