           Summary: dosdevices directory not created
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.9.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary

Hi.
I have just installed wine 0.9.9 (with rpm) on a clean mandriva cooker system
(wine and cedega have been erased before) and winecfg was unable to add drives.
winecfg returned the following messages:

Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory
'/home/hsyl20/.wine', starting in the Windows directory.
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer support MIDI in. Not supported yet (please
report)
err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes  unable to define devicename of 'C:', targetpath
of '/home/hsyl20/.wine/drive_c'

I used mkdir to make the "dosdevices" directory in ~/.wine/ and now it works
better (i can add drives).

I made the "drive_c", "windows" and "system32" directories and the 3 warnings
disappeared.

Now i have a new error :
err:font:ReadFontDir Can't open directory
"/home/hsyl20/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts"

I guess i will have to make the link to /usr/share/fonts/wine.

Thanks for solving the problem
