I want to install a new app

Post by slopoke »

Time for another of my off the wall posts.

Wine version: 1.7.23

I have two prefixes: /.wine and /.wine-wow.

World of Warcraft is installed in /.wine-wow (yes I know it's not the default, but it saves me a lot of pain).

/.wine-wow's winecfg has wow set to XP 32bit.

I want to install "Minion" from WowInterface. I'm going to use the 32bit version. It's their new addon manager. The old one has stopped working, so no updated addons for some time.

It's a Java app (in beta), seems to work well in Win7 64.

From a terminal I intend to do this:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/volunteer/.wine-wow" wine "C:\Program Files\directory\directory\FluffyBunny.exe" -opengl

Am I doing this correctly? Please advise if I'm not.

Do I need the "-opengl" switch? Or, should I look at it as a default saveguard and use it on everything that's installed?

Thanks
