How to pass flags (arguments) to an application

[Marcelo Arroyo]

Hi everyone. I have a problem running a Windows appilcation with wine.
The application is a Acucobol program.
When I run "wine wrun32.exe myprogram" it works ok.
When I run "wine wrun32.exe -C config.cfg myprogram" wine says
myprogram doesn't exist.

Any help?

You sure that's Wine what tells you "myprogram doesn't exist"? Not the "wrun32.exe"?

Remember, if you specifying paths for windows programs, those paths have to be windows paths not UNIX. Ex:

Code: Select all

# wrong
wine wrun32.exe -C config.cfg /home/user/myprogram.exe
# correct
wine wrun32.exe -C config.cfg 'z:\home\user\myprogram.exe'

I have less problems with programs if i use the "start" command... I'm on Mac OS X but should be the same.

for example.
wine start /unix "/Users/doh23/Applications/MyGame.exe -windowed"

this makes sure the working directory is set over to that same folder and launches

Instead of:

wine "C:\app.exe -flag"

have you tried:

wine "C:\app.exe" -flag

with the flag on the outside of the quotes?
