Any way to run Wine installer sans gui?

[blue-ice]

Hi all,

Newb here, but an old hand elsewhere...

Anyway, the kind folks at Stack Overflow haven't really been able to answer my question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/252 ... wine-setup yet, and there is a good chance that it will just sink down into the muck of unanswered questions there. I thought that I would ask here instead, to , you know, get an answer from people who work more closely with Wine.

Anyway, I am working right now on installing SketchUp onto a fresh computer with Wine, using only a single bash command in a makefile. However, whenever I run

Code: Select all

env `WINEPREFIX="/home/$(whoami)/.callix-wine" WINEARCH="win32" wine "wineboot"`

in the makefile, this little window (attached) pops up.

Is there any way to not have the window pop up? Can you turn off the GUI somehow for the wine setup, using some sort of environment variable or flag when running the command?

Thanks,
Blue Ice

Looking at

Code: Select all

xvfb-run

and it is working so far. I'll post code in a bit

I have a file called

Code: Select all

wine-setup.sh

:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# Make a new WINEPREFIX in the user's home directory entitled ".wine"
env `WINEPREFIX="/home/$(whoami)/.wine" WINEARCH="win32" wine "wineboot"`

Run the file with

Code: Select all

xvfb-run ./wine-setup.sh

And no window appears!
