wine users - Jan 2005 - start a linux command using a win32 apps ?

Hello,

In fact, I raver need to start a bash script using a win32 apps.

Any idea ?

Well, don't know exactly what you would like to do,
but guess you could use the "system" call, and put it
in one  of the dlls the app is calling, and recompile
wine again;
to give an example:

let's say the app calls  GetScrollbarInfo in user32
(in scroll.c in the source  code of wine) ; just put a
line in there:
 system("mplayer video.avi")
 if i would like to start up this  video for example.
This is the simplest solution i guess

Well,

    I'm not sure about you want but you can do something like this in 
order to start shell scripts or acroread (for linux), for example:

a) put the keys below at the "~/.wine/system.reg":
----------------- 8< --------------------
[Software\\Classes\\.pdf] 1051470000
@="acroread.pdf"
 
[Software\\Classes\\acroread.pdf\\shell\\open\\command] 1051470000
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Acroread\\acroread.exe\"
\"%1\""
------------------ 8< -------------------


b) in the fake windows directory, pointed by "~/.wine/dosdevices/c:",
put
the "acroread.exe" at the "Program Files/Acroread", as
described in the
key-registry above. If necessary, create the "Program Files/Acroread" 
directory.
------------------ 8< -------------------
#!/bin/sh

#set -x
mkdir -p "$HOME/tmp"
LOG="$HOME/tmp/acroread.exe-log.`id -u -n`"
echo "Arguments received: $@" > $LOG

#
# winepath replaces "X:\path\to\application" to the Unix format
#
RESULT=`winepath "$@" 2>> $LOG`
echo "/usr/local/bin/acroread $RESULTADO" >> $LOG
TMP=$TMPDIR ; TEMP=$TMPDIR ; /usr/local/bin/acroread "$RESULT"

rm -f "$RESULT"
------------------ 8< -------------------

     The same logic works for all extensions you can imagine (doc, xls, 
sxw, ppt, zip, htm, html, ...)
     I mean, you can put a registry entry (at system.reg) for the 
extension you need and a "executable" (in fact, a shell script) to
start
that extension. 
     I've done some scripts to deal with some extensions. All you have to 
do is to look the way the linux application works passing the proper 
arguments to them. For instance, "ark" forks itself so the script to
deal
with ZIP extension (very similar to the one above) was deleting the file 
before ark could read it. I had to pass "ark --nofork" in order the
script
to work.
     You can improve the scripts in order to find the application you want 
to start instead of acroread (xpdf, gpdf, kghostview, etc).
