Error in Terminal PLEASE HELP SOON

Post by tanman1998 »

I have been trying to Run wine so that I can play GuildWars 2 (Gw2) on my Mac. However I was using this site (http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/ ... c/#what-is) to download and run all the correct files or coding whatever in terminal and I got all the way to step five and the pictures in the attachment. PLEASE HELP SOON I REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT. I am new to terminal and wine so really any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tanman

Why are you running "$PROGRAM.exe" ?? $PROGRAM is a variable you'll have to set for it to mean anything.. and why it says it can't find ".exe" because if $PROGRAM isnt set to anything... then $PROGRAM.exe is just ".exe" and not the actual file name. Just run the actual file name, or set PROGRAM to equal the file name.

Also make sure you install the latest version of XQuartz too.

So duh123 I downloaded the latest version of XQuarts 2.7.2 is the latest version I saw. Anyway were you saying that I should try to type the code (wine $PROGRAM.exe) without the dollar sign or like what should I type in because if you looked at the link you will know where I am stuck. And as I say again I am very new to terminal and wine.

See duh123 I just actually figured out what you were talking about :D I get it now. But the problem is, the site says that as well. But I don't know what the actual file name is. So I guess thats my problem I need to find out what the file name is. Obviously this is a dumb stupid mistake but I still need help so if you could tell me or if anyone out there could tell me what the actual file name is that would be a big help.
Thanks,

I've never played the game... it will be in the game folder and will be something with .exe .. maybe guildwars2.exe ... gw2.exe??? who knows, whatever the makers of the game decided to call it, just look in the folder and find it. If oyu still want to make a launch script iwth $PROGRAM.exe you'd need to do something like...
PROGRAM=gw2
then $PROGRAM.exe would be gw2.exe ... (if gw2.exe is the correct executable file to run)
