wine users - Feb 2012 - Re: Windows CLI Commands in Ruby freeze Wine application

What's the state here?

I didn't find any associated bug report.
Has this been fixed?

Is there a work around?

I would really like to use ruby scripts doing cli in sketchup...

/Jan.

Hi,
the errors persist (Wine 1.3.37, ruby 1.8.7)

Code:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1135e4 "?" wait timed
out in thread 0026, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)



Probably all cmd commands give this error (error message repeats after 60s,
doesn't stop). I tested echo, dir, cd, date, path, reg.

While cmd commands don't work, launching applications works by giving the
file path to the program or to a batch file. Example in Ruby:
> puts %x[C:\\users\\username\\batch.bat]

Off-topic, @jaspo: I used a workaround. I wrote the commands to a batch file and
launched the batch file. If necessary, the batch file writes the results back to
a text file that I then read into Ruby. You can find some code in the
ImageMagick.rb here: forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=40720

Hi Airilius,

you probably should file a bug. Unfortunately wine is in code freeze for the 1.4
release, so even if a wine dev tackles that bug and prepares a solution, it may
not be fixed in the next few weeks, you may have to wait for a 1.5 release.

AFIK:  All releases of Wine are even.  Development releases are odd.
Thus the next release after 1.4 will be 1.6.
