I'll have to read up on Wine, I think I misunderstood what it is and does.

It allows you to run Windows executables pretty much like you run Linux executables (= from an interpreter, not from a virtual machine), and implements good portions of the Windows API (allowing you to load both dlls or drivers from the ones in your Windows installation when they are missing).
The default FAT file system on Linux is case-sensitive, BTW

« on: May 22, 2006, 10:00:02 AM »I'll have to look into Wine a bit more, it always looked like a bear to install. Linux has no problem with FAT file partitions (maybe even NTFS ones) which are always case-insensative. I would think there'd be a problem with using native ext2/3, since the OS has to allow for case sensative files for any other process accessing the same partition. I'm sure there's no trouble accessing the emulator in a bash script from outside, but having a native windows app access Linux from within the emulator would be a neat trick

I've never tried Wine before, but I understand it's an emulater (sort of like VMWare) so it has to emulate the same Windows file-system symantics. If you want to run Bash within the Wine emulator, do you have to install Cygwin?IIRC, it allows Windows executables to be run at the same level of ELF files, and implements the Winows DLLs (or even allows you to use M$-ones instead), rather than emulating a full OS. There are also case-insensitive Ext2/3 and FAT/NTFS drivers for Linux, if you look around (although it should be able to avoid the problem).
Also, Elf executables should be launchable by Wine (with some exceptions, EG Avenger reported that you can't run an ELF file in pausing mode), but I'm not sure about Bash (although they probably use the default Linux executable handler, and thus they should work natively).

I haven't tried out gemRB in a long time. I think it's a great project, and I hope it will succeed in the long term

Utility scripts like this really make me wish that Windows had a Bash shell (I never got the hange of bat file scripting -- yick!BG2 runs fine (and case-insensitive) under Wine).

« on: May 22, 2006, 06:09:35 AM »slight fix (added quotes around the variable names to accomodate filepaths with spaces etc.). The next version of WeiDU will not need this but in the meantime:
UPDATE:
*sigh* scratch that, it doesn't work but give me a minute
UPDATE #2
I'm fighting a losing battle here, the damn 'for file' keeps assigning a new $file every time it hits a space, even if that space is escaped >_<.
UPDATE #3
I give up. If you want, you can use this PHP script that I wrote which will do the trick just fine, but I doubt many people have PHP installed.

#!/bin/sh

# If lower-case filename already exists, more recent one is preserved.
# Support for filepaths with spaces added by Fyorl (2006-05-22)
