Description Alexander Jenisch 2004-06-25 03:16:39 UTC
there's always lot's of problems with new releases, so i wondered, if it could be possible to put different versions of wine in different directories and have a wrapper, that changes the config file for each release also? for example i can't run "natural selection" (half-life mod) with cedega 4.0 correctly, but it works with winex 3.3.2 (even though there are limitations too, it's still better). i think you get my point. would be greate, if someone could look into this.

duplicate of #55123?
Comment 2 Alexander Jenisch 2004-06-27 02:38:56 UTC
what? this is bug #55132, how can it be a dup of itself?
Comment 3 Jonathan Hernández Velasco 2004-06-27 08:34:16 UTC
??

read it slowly :-)

123 != 132

bug #55123
Comment 4 Alexander Jenisch 2004-06-27 11:36:40 UTC
well, i agree that the problem is similar, but it's not the same. i want two different wine builds as well as two different winex builds next to each other. so winex 3.3.1 next to 3.3.2 or even 2.0. some games worked better with older versions of wine/winex.
Comment 5 Thomas Raschbacher gentoo-dev 2004-08-15 08:16:20 UTC
so you would want e.g. 
winex3.3.0 -> /usr/lib/transgaming-winex-3.3.0
cedega4.0.1 -> /usr/lib/transgaming-cedega-4.0.1
...
?

then u'd need the winex/cedega wrapper to swap config files/directories e.g.
~/.transgaming-3.3.0
~/.transgaming-4.0.1
/me suggestst a symlink for that ;)

sounds alright, but someone gotta write & test a wrapper for it ..
Comment 6 Alexander Jenisch 2004-08-22 18:23:30 UTC
yes exactly. a wrapper? let's see.

installed version of cedega: 4.0.0 and 4.0.1

directories ~/.transgaming-4.0.0 and ~/.transgaming-4.0.1 and a symlink called. transgaming ~/.transgaming to e.g. ~/.transgaming-4.0.0

cedega-4.0.1 (copy of cedega shell script). right about in the beginning something like:
...
echo changing transgaming config directory to match version 4.0.1
rm ~/.transgaming
ln -s ~/.transgaming-4.0.1 ~/.transgaming
...

maybe a few checks, so that nothing important gets overwritten or deleted?

this bug may be related to (wine-config needed bug #9842)
