How to invoice linux shell from wine bottle

[aplcomp]

We have installed successfully a large financial application on linux by using wine 1 rc. It is written in C++. We need to invoke a php gtk application from within compiled c++ application, and it fails to execute in wine.

Q: is it possible to send a call to host linux system, in order to run the php gtk process atop host Linux os?
In other words, we's like to call linux php cli, instead of windows "php-win.exe", by using C++ system call.

thanks, martti

not sure if I understand the question fully but I have a windows application running under wine that needs to launch/start a linux application, what I did was make a script and saved it as launch.exe

in launch.exe I simply have the

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/linuxapplication

and so my windows program under wine starts launch.exe which under unix start my linuxapplication.

... hope this helps

Yes, it works as you instructed!

Thanks a lot.

I believe this is an important facility: to invoke linux host shell commands
from an windows application.
Would it be worth included in Faq list?
