wine users - Jun 2005 - Linux apps from inside Wine (was:Re: Problems with Lotus Notes R5.0.12 under Wine 20050524)

Hi Shadi,

        I'm also using notes 5.0.12 and I've posted at May,05-2005 a 
message just talking about how to start Linux apps from a Windows app 
over/under Wine. The only problem is that I'm not using wine-20050524 ... 
8-(. Instead I'm using 20040813.
        Follows the message. Feel free to ask me more questions and if you 
want I can send to you another types of scripts.

Regards. Ulisses Penna

OK, It's possible and works very fine when you right-click at the 
document. See below.
 
I did the following 2 steps:

1) put an entry at the ~/.wine/system.reg like this (example):
------------------------ 8< --------------------------------
[Software\\Classes\\.pdf] 1051470000
@="acroread.pdf"

[Software\\Classes\\acroread.pdf] 1051470000
@="Documento Adobe PDF"

[Software\\Classes\\acroread.pdf\\DefaultIcon] 1051470000
@="C:\\Program Files\\Acroread\\acroread.exe,1"

[Software\\Classes\\acroread.pdf\\shell] 1051470000
@="open"

[Software\\Classes\\acroread.pdf\\shell\\open\\command] 1051470000
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Acroread\\acroread.exe\"
\"%1\""
---------------------- 8< ---------------------------------

2) the linux "executable" acroread.exe *must* be placed at the above
dir:
"C:\Program Files\Acroread". The linux "executable" is a
shell script so
you can do anything you like from now on ;). Follows an example:
---------------------- 8< ---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

#set -x
mkdir -p "$HOME/tmp"
LOG="$HOME/tmp/acroread.exe-log.`id -u -n`"
echo "Arguments received: $@" > $LOG
#
RESULT=`winepath "$@" 2> /dev/null`
echo "/usr/local/bin/acroread $RESULT" >> $LOG
TMP=$TMPDIR ; TEMP=$TMPDIR ; /usr/local/bin/acroread "$RESULT"
# removing the temporary file
rm -f "$RESULT"
---------------------- 8< ---------------------------------

        I already have system.reg entries for various extensions (DOC, 
SXW, XLS, SXC, ZIP, HTM, JPG, etc) and their respectives
"executables".
        You have to be careful with some tricks like the $TMP and $TMPDIR 
that are modified by wine. 
        You can have lots of informations if you put at the end of the 
"executable" script an entry like: "env >> $LOG" to
see the environment
variables and anything you like.
        If this helps I'd like to know because we can exchange new 
"executables" for other extensios (mimes)/entries.
        One more tip for lotus notes. You can also modify your browser 
settings in order to start a linux browser when you get a HTTP link at the 
email. My notes is in portuguese (brazilian) so I'm figuring out the 
path/location of the parameters in english .... you have to choose (at the 
right side at the end of the notes window) something like: Office->Edit 
current->Internet browser. At the "internet browser" choose
"Other" and
then navigate through the file system in order to find the
"mozilla.exe"
shell script below (put it somewhere else). There is no need for a 
system.reg entry.

mozilla.exe
---------------------- 8< ---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

#set -x
mkdir -p "$HOME/tmp"
LOG="$HOME/tmp/mozilla.exe-log.`id -u -n`"
echo "Arguments received: $@" > $LOG
MOZILLA_BIN="/usr/bin/mozilla"
LANG=en $MOZILLA_BIN -remote "ping()" 2>&1 | grep "No
running" >> $LOG
2>&1
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
        echo "Calling: $MOZILLA_BIN -remote
\"openurl(\"$RESULTADO\",
new-window)\"" >> $LOG
        $MOZILLA_BIN -remote "openurl($RESULTADO, new-window)"
else
        echo "Calling: $MOZILLA_BIN \"$RESULTADO\"" >>
$LOG
        $MOZILLA_BIN "$RESULTADO"
fi
---------------------- 8< ---------------------------------

        I have a more sofisticated mozilla.exe script. If you want, please 
let me know.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi!

I tried those steps but I ran into a strange problem. Whenever I started 
my notes client in wine, my system.reg - file was some kind of reset. alle 
changes, which were made are lost. How can I disable that?
I do not find any global config-files on my system. I use some kind of 
outdated version of wine, becaus Notes 6.5.1 did not run on my other 
testinstallations.
So how can I disable this rewriting of my configuration and where should I 
put global config-files?

Thanks in Advance!
Andy
