Thanks Derek,
I downloaded winex CVS source last night. Everything went smoothly except for
the final "make install" where I got an error message:
"Could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working directory.
Invalid path `C:2\windows' for windows directory: does not exist"
Now, I'm confused. Are they talking about how LM names the directory
(/mnt/win_c/windows) or MS (C:\Windows). The entry in the error message seems
to be a mix of LM and MS! [My other drive is /mnt/win_2 but does not have
windows installed, but is formatted VFAT.]
Perhaps, as a newbie I messed up by doing everything as root. Now I don't
have an entry for ./wine in my home directory . . .sigh! Can I do a m"make
install" as a local user as well?
These things seem so simple, once you've got them working, but I'm unclear
about the protocol for naming MS//LM drives -- which does Wine want?
Can you help me out here?
Tia,
Andre
