[cw-discuss] Where is cxrun (CrossOver Mac) ?

[KUROSAKA Teruhiko]

I would like to run a DOS console program.
I first try to double-click on the .exe but nothing happened.
I then tried the "Run Command..." menu item and specified
the .exe. Nothing happened either.
I would like to try the the third method described in
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/crossover-standard/usingcrossover
which is, typing
$ ~/cxoffice/bin/cxrun
in a shell window, but I don't see a file called cxrun
anywhere in the file system. Does cxrun exist under
a different name for Mac version? How do I run a console
program with arguments that takes input from the console
and output the result to the console?

Hello!

The "Run Command..." option in CrossOver Mac is the Mac equivalent to
cxrun. However, I don't think either option will work for what you want
to do, since neither provide an interactive console.

It /might/ be that if you run the application from the shell you'll get
proper interaction. You can do that by using the 'open shell' option in
the "Run Command..." dialog and then typing

$ wine /patch/to/application.exe

That way at least you'll be able to see what's happening. Hope that helps.

Andrew,
Thank you for your reply.
But I've got these error messages if I enter "wine echo foo":

The command wine echo foo return 1.
StdOut:
StdErr: winewrapper.exe:error: cannot execute L"wine echo foo".


And I cannot find wine.exe in my CrossOver installation. Is my
installation incomplete?
