problem involving use of Windows rcs under Wine

[bostjanv]

Hello,
I am running Wine on Debian Linux 7, and I have encountered a puzzling problem. I hope someone can give me some useful information.

I am using an older version (5.7) of rcs version control software, and on a Windows 7 machine I can use the commands

rlog RCS/*,v
or
ci RCS/*,v

without problems. However, when i use them on my Linux machine under Wine, I get the following result:

rlog RCS/*,v
rlog: RCS/*,v Invalid argument

I know this is not a general Wine problem because in other situations wildcards function without problems; however, in this particular situation I can't use them. I've been wracking my brain for a reason for this behavior under Wine, but without success.

I would appreciate getting some answers.

Regards,
bostjanv

If you post some more information we should be able to help. Are entering those commands directly in a Windows powershell/cmd shell? On Debian are you trying them in BASH (a-n-other) shell? Or does the RCS software provide it's own in built shell?

I can see obviously that:

Code: Select all

rlog RCS/*,v

would fail if entered directly, or as a Wine parameter, in a UNIX shell... But I am sure you are aware of this!

Please you could use the provided Forum HTML markup (Code) for stuff you are entering in the shells. Please also include the full commands you are entering.

What version of Wine are you using?

Thanks
Bob
