wine users - Sep 2007 - WINEDLLPATH doesn't work

Hi

I have some win32 DLL (native DLL) which is required to run my application.
If I copy the DLL to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ ... my application
runs OK.  But if I out the DLL to ... eg. $HOME/.wine/drive_c/myDLL
and doing following

export WINEDLLPATH=$HOME/.wine/drive_c/myDLL
wine myapp

wine simply complain that my DLL not found !!
Well, I really don't want to put everything under system32 ...
could someone tell me what's wrong with my setup ?

Regards
KC

This is correct.
With "man wine", you can read, that WINEDLLPATH is the location, where
the wine internal shared libraries (*.dll.so) are stored.
Windows DLLS are searched in the same locations as on native Windows:
In the actual Directory, in the System-Directory and in the PATH.

Put the dll in the Application Directory
cd in the Application Directory
wine <yourapp.exe>
