[Wine] Re: Magic Workstation - Snow Leopard

Just run through terminal. So that translates to pressing Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal, if in Linux. If in Mac, then open Finder, go to Applications, then Utilities, and find Terminal. If in Mac, drag Terminal into your Dock for future easy access. You'll be glad you did. So get terminal open, and type in wine followed by a space. Don't hit enter yet. Open your file browser (let terminal just chill for a while), whether the file browser be Finder or Nautilus or whatever. Navigate to your executable that you are trying to get to work with wine. It will be located in your hidden dot wine folder. So, if in Linux, go to /home/[your user name], and the hidden dot wine folder will be in there. But it's hidden. If using Nautilus as your file browser, hit Ctrl + h to reveal hidden files and folders. You should then see the ".wine" folder (if in Nautilus). If in Mac, then your dot wine folder will be in /Users/[user name] . It will still be hidden if in Mac. To get Finder to show hidden files and folders, you have to go into terminal and tell it to do so. Mac doesn't let you have more than one terminal open, so you'll have to backtrack a little and backspace off the "wine " to have a bare terminal to tell it to show hidden files and folders if you haven't yet already. Here's what you type into Mac terminal to get Finder to show hidden files and folders:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
(hit enter)
and then this:
killall Finder
(hit enter)

Go in the dot wine folder. Then go into drive_c. Then navigate to where the program is installed. Probably in the Program Files folder. Find the executable file and drag it into terminal after the "wine ". Then give a space after the path to the executable, then a "&>" then another space, then a path to where you want the debug kept. You could do "[path to user folder]/Desktop/MW_in_WINE_Debug.txt". So what you type in terminal might look like this:

wine /Users/MIMIC/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Magic/workstation.exe &> /Users/MIMIC/Desktop/MW_in_WINE_Debug.txt

Alternatively, instead of doing a "&> [path to text file]", you could leave that out, and just let it appear in terminal. Then you could select it (in terminal) and copy it with a select and Shift+Ctrl+C, if in Linux. If in Mac, to copy directly out of terminal, it's just a select and command + C like "normal".

How ever you copy it (the other way you would open the text file when it's done, Ctrl+a, Ctrl+C), and paste it (Ctrl+V) into Pastebin.

Then provide a link to the Pastebin here!  :D
