wine users - May 2009 - Creating a Rpm with a windows-program and wine included

Hello,

I am trying to make an RPM for Linux that provides a windows program (That runs
as a service on win) with included wine. The role model for this is google
picasa. Picasa doesn?t need Wine to be installed.

Can anyone give me advice on how this has to be done?

Install a custom wine to /usr/bin/wine-custom or /opt/bin/wine-custom,
define WINEPREFIX for your program to be $HOME/.yourapplication/wine,
and add a wrapper. Should be pretty straightforward.

Be careful with services though, since wine automatically shuts down
when no applications are running. You'll need to have a tray
application or something running to prevent that.

Is there any documentation on axactly this issue?

How do i install a custom wine and make a wrapper
Has this custom wine to be created from a wine source-rpm?
As I understand it, rpms can include the source-files (e.g wine) to be compiled
and win-binaries and configuration files (.exe, .ini...). The file-structure of
the program should be
.?./myprogram/wine/(wineinstallationfiles)
.?./myprogram/drive_c/programs/myWinProgDirectory
Also, this application has to be a linux-service for all users.

I need info from scratch because i am a total beginner when it comes to
programming. sorry for that.
