2 .TH WINE 1 "September 1, 1995" "Version 9/1/95" "Windows Emulation"
4 wine \- run Windows programs under Unix
16 invokes the Windows emulator.
19 currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately
20 half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API
21 has not been implemented.
29 contained in the source distribution
35 will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or
36 under recent releases of NetBSD and FreeBSD.
42 must be installed. (It is probably available from the same site
44 was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org).
48 run "./configure", which will detect your specific setup and create
49 the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available
50 configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the
52 executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default,
54 is installed in /usr/local/bin; you can specify a different path with
55 the --prefix option when running
63 Enter the debugger before starting application
65 .I -debugmsg name[,name]
66 Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance,
67 .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap
68 will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is:
69 all, accel, atom, bitblt, bitmap, caret, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping,
70 combo, comm, commdlg, crtdll, cursor, dc, dde, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit,
71 env, event, exec, file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, heap, hook, icon,
72 int, key, keyboard, ldt, listbox, local, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi, menu,
73 message, metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole,
74 palette, profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector,
75 sem, sendmsg, shm, stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, ver, vxd, win,
79 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
82 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
85 Use the specified display
88 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
90 is probably a good idea.
91 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
92 WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM, SYSTEM, TOOLHELP,
93 MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX, OLECLI, OLESVR,
94 COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML, ADVAPI32, COMCTL32, COMDLG32, CRTDLL,
95 GDI32, LZ32, MPR, NTDLL, OLE32, SHELL32, USER32, VER, VERSION, W32SYS, WINMM,
99 Read only files may not be opened in write mode (the default is to
100 allow opening read-only files for writing, because most Windows
101 programs always request read-write access, even on CD-ROM drives...).
104 Use a "standard" color map.
112 (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da, Cz, Eo, It, Ko)
115 Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window
118 Determines the mode in which
120 is started. Possible mode names are
124 Enhanced mode is the default (when no -mode option is specified).
127 Set the application name
130 Use a private color map
133 Turn on synchronous display mode
136 Specify which Windows version WINE should imitate.
137 Possible arguments are: win31, win95 and nt351.
139 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
140 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
141 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
142 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
144 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
145 the program name and its arguments
147 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
148 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
149 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
150 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
152 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should
153 conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
154 file). The actual file name may be specified during the execution of
157 script. Alternatively, you may have a
159 file of this format in your home directory.
160 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
161 All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
165 and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
166 consist of lines of the form
170 The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
171 double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
174 Supported section names and entries are listed below.
178 This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
180 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
181 disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
182 drive you want to configure.
184 .I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
188 If you mounted your dos partition as
190 and installed Microsoft Windows in
191 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
197 .I format: Type = <type>
201 Used to specify the drive type; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
204 .I format: Label = <label>
208 Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters.
210 .I format: Serial = <serial>
214 Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal
217 .I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
221 Used to specify the type of the filesystem on which the drive resides;
222 supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix. If the
223 drive spans several different filesystems, say unix.
227 .I format: windows = <directory>
231 Used to specify a different Windows directory
233 .I format: system = <directory>
235 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
237 Used to specify a different system directory
239 .I format: temp = <directory>
243 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
246 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
248 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
250 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
252 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
256 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
261 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
265 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
269 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
273 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
277 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
281 Used to specify the file which will be used as
284 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
288 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
290 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
293 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
294 .SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

364 There are too many to count, much less list. Some bugs of note, however,
365 are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
366 some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
367 at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp
368 (256 colors) is currently flaky.
370 A partial list of applications known to work with
372 include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
