warning: wineserver not found!

eternal_noob · Feb 7, 2022

Does it work if you export the variable right before running the script?

Bash:

export WINESERVER=wineserver32
sh winetricks corefonts

elimelech007 · Feb 7, 2022

And that doesn't work.

elimelech007 · Feb 7, 2022

Code:

$ echo $WINESERVER
wineserver32
$ sh winetricks corefonts
------------------------------------------------------
warning: wineserver not found!
------------------------------------------------------
$

eternal_noob · Feb 7, 2022

Maybe the idea that winetricks uses the environment variable is not right and it's hardcoded in the script?
Can you do a grep -i wineserver winetricks?

elimelech007 · Feb 7, 2022

grep -i wineserver in the winetricks script - How to do it?

eternal_noob · Feb 7, 2022

I've edited my post.

That's why I always advice people not to program in shell. This whole check is somehow botched and only works with a full path. That is, WINESERVER=/usr/local/bin/wineserver32.

eternal_noob · Feb 8, 2022

Does it work using the full path?

elimelech007 · Feb 8, 2022

In what form and in what file should this full path be written?

So instead of using WINESERVER=wineserver32 you use WINESERVER=/usr/local/bin/wineserver32 in .profile.

Disaster, you know?

Cath O'Deray · Feb 8, 2022

Sorry, I mean, do you get the same (nothing) in response to the command? I'll add to my spoiler a link to the relevant port.

PS to avoid misunderstanding: that stuff is not hidden in a spoiler because there's a problem with FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT. On 14.0-CURRENT, this alone runs without error:

winetricks corefonts

in my preferred shell (csh)
without a sh prefix to the command.

eternal_noob · Feb 8, 2022

Wait a minute, i need to boot up FreeBSD first. I am currently using L*nux.

Edit:

Bash:

[xxx@xxx ~]$ pkg provides /usr/local/bin/wineserver32
pkg: unknown command: provides

For more information on available commands and options see 'pkg help'.

eternal_noob · Feb 8, 2022

I installed ports-mgmt/pkg-provides and commented out the stuff in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.

pkg plugins finds the provides plugin:

Code:

root@xxx:~ # pkg plugins

but pkg provides /usr/local/bin/wineserver32 says

Code:

root@xxx:~ # pkg provides /usr/local/bin/wineserver32
usage: pkg provides [-uf] [-r repo] pattern

A plugin for querying which package provides a particular file

Inserted this line, the result is zero. Does not work.

eternal_noob · Feb 8, 2022

Maybe using a soft link helps?

As root:
ln -sf /usr/local/bin/wineserver32 /usr/local/bin/wineserver

Or use an other target (last parameter) . See the script for a list of directories it searches.

shkhln · Feb 8, 2022

I actually tested my second suggestion. It works.

elimelech007 · Feb 8, 2022

Thanks, this link works.
But it gives a new error:

Code:

Alexander88207 I think first of you for expertise in areas such as these.

Anything to add? TIA

(Not a constructive comment)

I can't find my wine server either. If I want a glass of wine, I have to go to the kitchen, find a glass, find the open bottle, and pour it. At least at dinner, that effort gets amortized over serving 3 people.

What happened to drinking beer while fixing the car? How about an after-dinner liqueur? A cocktail in the afternoon? Mimosa with brunch?

Sorry to disrupt the discussion, but I've been seeing this headline "wineserver" for several days now, and I can't get the image out of my brain.
