Hello ,

  Setting up wine?

  I just installed wine from the 4-stable packages and need some
  guidance on setting it up.

  The host i installed wine on does not have any "real" window
  partitions as the hd is dedicated to freebsd. according to the
  documentation if the latter is the case then one needs to make fake
  window directories. The documentation shows the dir. that need to be
  created , c:\windows, c:\windows\system c:\windows\Start Menu and
  c:\windows\start Menu\Programs

I read i can make these fake directories anywhere so i though about
making a wine dir. in usr and creating them there.

#mkdir -p wine
cd wine

mkdir -p /windows, windows/system etc... is this correct?

my next question is if the above is how you would create the fake
directories then how do you create the required directory Start Menu?
There is a space there, mkdir will create two separate directories Start and
Menu not one directory Start Menu as the document says to create.

After creating the fake directories i assume the last part is to just
tell the config in ~./ that /usr/wine is its root for c: is this all
or is there more. i think the registry is setup when installing the
package is this correct?

Thanks,


Are there any good docs. for setting up wine on freebsd without a
native windows partition, as the one from the winehq site is
misleading.
