Description Oscar 2002-08-16 20:45:53 UTC
When I used "emerge wine", wine was not correctly set up for use.  The 
problem is that the default wine directoy with its files, '~/.wine', is not 
set up automatically for a user account.

I have a simple 'one user' (apart from root) system, so I haven't done this 
for multiple user accounts.  For my single user, I copied the source file 
for wine into my /usr/src directory, untarred it, and then from my user 
account I used the script from /usr/src/wine/tools called "wineinstall", 
which then runs through instructions to install wine 
for that user, asking for the root password when required.

There might be an option somewhere that will set up a .wine directory for 
all user accounts, but I have no information about that.  In most cases it 
won't be necessary, since wine is generally run from the host machine.  

Cheers-
Oscar

do you have something in /etc/skel/.wine/ ?
maybe like a symlink /etc/skel/.wine/config -> /etc/wine/config ?
Comment 2 Nick Hadaway 2002-08-30 00:00:53 UTC
This is in the current ebuild...

dodir /etc/skel/.wine
insinto /etc/wine
doins ${S}/documentation/samples/config
dosym /etc/wine/config /etc/skel/.wine/config

The issue is that if a user is added BEFORE the installation of wine... then 
the files wont get copied to the users home directory.

There is also this comment which displays after wine is installed...

"If you are installing wine for the first time, copy /etc/wine/config (global 
configuration) to ~/.wine/config and edit that for per-user configuration. 
Otherwise, wine will not run.
Also, run \"wine regapi setValue < /etc/wine/winedefault.reg\" to setup
per-user registry for using wine. More info in /usr/share/doc/wine-${PV}."

If you are looking for a more automatic setup of your configuration...

emerge winesetuptk
