Re: [solved]WINEPREFIX......and starter

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're trying to ask.. I don't think I'm alone on that one either..

are you trying to make a start menu entry?..

"flase"? false? and what says that? where? i can't imagine any error message just saying "false" and nothing else, so maybe I don't understand you.. what is "it" for that matter??? wine?

please be a little more specific, and a little more coherent if you can..

FYI, Gnome can't run bash commands like those in ~/.bashrc from the start menu IIRC (though I mostly use KDE, so that could be very wrong).. make a new start script in your $PATH, say, /usr/bin/..

like.. /usr/bin/newwine, containing:

#!/bin/bash
WINEPREFIX=/home/myhostname/.wine1 wine

Then chmod a+x it, and in your start menu entry, use /usr/bin/newwine path_to_your_program..

is that what you're asking for??
