Terminal stops echoing after running .exe

Post by r0cky_f »

Hi experts,

I have a very weird issue here. Long story short, I installed wine-devel package via Macports to run some .exe file that I built for Windows environment. The issue is: when I call the .exe file from wine, my terminal stops echoing (it doesn't display anything I type) all of a sudden. I can still execute the command but just not displayed on the screen.

My environment:
- Mac OS X 10.8.3 latest version
- Wine-devel 1.5.29 from Macports
- 32-bit .exe file.

Can anyone advise me what went wrong?

Best,
Rocky

I don't even understand what your trying to describe... what is supposed to be echoing in Terminal? normally just info from Wine, but you shouldn't be typing any more. If your trying to run a command line Wine app, then its not going to be run in Terminal... you can run cmd in wine, then use that command line to run things.

I think my concept of wine was totally wrong. You are correct, I should run cmd in wine and then run my program there. All looks good now. Thanks!
