Summary: wine chooses wrong home directory
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: programs
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: hendrik at topoi.pooq.com
Wine failed to find c:\Windows
According to spec, it should have looked for
~hendrik/.wine/fake_windows/Windows.
I suspect it actually looked in /home/hendrik/.wine/fake_windows/Windows.
My home directory is /farhome/hendrik, not /home/hendrik.
After I inserted a symbolic link
ln -s /home/hendrik /farhome/hendrik
wine stopped complaining about not finding c:\Windows.
I suspect that Wine assumes home directories are in /home instead of looking in
the appropriate configuration file, such as /etc/passwd. (There ought to be a
system call you can use to find this information instead of grotting around in
/etc/passwd. Is there?)
