.\" -*- nroff -*- .TH WINE.CONF 5 "August 5, 2001" "Version 20010731" "Wine Configuration File" .SH NAME wine.conf \- Wine configuration file .SH DESCRIPTION .B wine expects a configuration file ( .I $WINEPREFIX/config (~/.wine/config) ), which should conform to the following rules. A sample configuration file is available as .I documentation/samples/config in the Wine source distribution. .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line .br .I [section name] .br and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries consist of lines of the form .br .I """entry""=""value""" .br The entry and value can be any text strings, included in double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables surrounded by .I ${}. Inside the double quotes, special characters, backslashes and quotes must be escaped with backslashes. Supported section names and entries are listed below. .PP .B [Drive X] .br This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each .B DOS drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every drive you want to configure. .PP .I format: """Path""=""<rootdirectory>""" .br default: none .br If you mounted your dos partition as .I /dos and installed Microsoft Windows in C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify .I """Path""=""/dos""" in the .I [Drive C] section. .PP .I format: """Type""=""<type>""" .br default: "hd" .br Used to specify the drive type this drive appears as in Windows or DOS programs; supported types are "floppy", "hd", "cdrom" and "network". .PP .I format: """Label""=""<label>""" .br default: "Drive X" .br Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters. .PP .I format: """Serial""=""<serial>""" .br default: "12345678" .br Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal number. .PP .I format: """Filesystem""=""<fstype>""" .br default: "win95" .br Used to specify the type of the file system Wine should emulate on a given directory structure/underlying file system. .br Supported types are "msdos" (or "fat"), "win95" (or "vfat"), "unix". .br Recommended: .br "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32 .br "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly) .br You definitely do not want to use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib. Always try to avoid using FAT16. Use the VFAT/FAT32 OS file system driver instead. .PP .I format: """FailReadOnly""=""<boolean>""" .br Read-only files may not be opened in write mode (the default is to allow opening read-only files for writing, because most Windows programs always request read-write access, even on CD-ROM drives...). .PP .B [wine] .br .I format: """windows""=""<directory>""" .br default: "C:\\\\WINDOWS" .br Used to specify a different Windows directory; make sure to double the backslashes. .PP .I format: """system""=""<directory>""" .br default: "C:\\\\WINDOWS\\\\SYSTEM" .br Used to specify a different system directory; make sure to double the backslashes. .PP .I format: """temp""=""<directory>""" .br default: "C:\\\\TEMP" .br Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store temporary files. .PP .I format: """profile""=""<directory>""" .br default: nothing .br Used to specify a directory where Windows stores special folders and the user-registry files (user.dat or ntuser.dat). Mapped to environment variable %USERPROFILE%. Set this value when running with a native NT or a native win95 directory with per-user settings. .PP .I format: """path""=""<directories separated by semi-colons>""" .br default: "C:\\\\WINDOWS;C:\\\\WINDOWS\\\\SYSTEM" .br Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and dlls. Make sure to double all the backslashes. .PP .B [DllOverrides] .br .I format: """modulename""=""native,so,builtin""" .br .I modulename can be any valid module name, without extension. The specified value is a comma separated list of module-types to try to load in that specific order. Case is not important and only the first letter of each type is enough to identify the type n[ative], s[o], b[uiltin]. Also whitespace is ignored. See also commandline option .I --dll for details about the allowable types. .br The wildcard entry .I """*""" specifies the load order to use for modules not explicitly mentioned. If the wildcard entry is not found, then the order "native,builtin,so" is used. .br Examples: .br .I """kernel32""=""builtin""" .br .I """kernel""=""builtin""" .br .I """comdlg32""=""native,builtin""" .br .I """*""=""builtin,native""" .br Changing the load order of kernel/kernel32 and gdi/gdi32 to anything other than builtin will cause wine to fail because wine cannot use native versions for these libraries. .br Always make sure that you have some kind of strategy in mind when you start fiddling with the current defaults and needless to say that you must know what you are doing. .PP .B [serialports] .br .I format: """com[12345678]""=""<devicename>""" .br default: none .br Used to specify the devices which are used as COM1 - COM8. .PP .B [parallelports] .br .I format: """lpt[12345678]""=""<devicename>""" .br default: none .br Used to specify the devices which are used as LPT1 - LPT8. .PP .B [spy] .br .I format: """exclude""=""<message names separated by semicolons>""" .br default: none .br Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile. .PP .I format: """include""=""<message names separated by semicolons>""" .br default: none .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile. .PP .B [Tweak.Layout] .br .I format: """WineLook""=""<Win31|Win95|Win98>""" .br default: "Win31" .br Use Win95-like window displays or Win3.1-like window displays. .PP .B [Registry] .br .I format: """LoadGlobalRegistryFiles""=""<boolean>""" .br Global registries (stored in /etc) .PP .I format: """LoadHomeRegistryFiles""=""<boolean>""" .br Home registries (stored in ~user/.wine/) .PP .I format: """WritetoHomeRegistryFiles""=""<boolean>""" .br TRY to write all changes to the home registry files .PP .I format: """LoadWindowsRegistryFiles""=""<boolean>""" .br Load Windows registry from the current Windows directory. .PP booleans: Y/y/T/t/1 are true, N/n/F/f/0 are false. .br Defaults are read all, write to home files. .PP .B [AppDefaults\\\\\\\\<appname>\\\\\\\\...] .PP This section allows specifying application-specific values for the other sections described above. .I <appname> is the name of the application exe file, without path. The "..." should be replaced by the name of one of the above configuration sections. .br Example: .br .I [AppDefaults\\\\\\\\sol.exe\\\\\\\\DllOverrides] .br .I """shell32""" = """native""" .br means that Solitaire will use "native" load order for the shell32 dll. All other applications will continue to use what was specified in the general .I DllOverrides section. .br The only section that supports application-specific information at the moment is .I DllOverrides. .br Make sure to use double backslashes in the section name. .PP .SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE A sample configuration file is distributed as .B documentation/samples/config in the Wine source distribution. .SH FILES .TP .I ~/.wine/config User-specific configuration file .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES .TP .I WINEPREFIX Specifies the directory that contains the per-user .I config file, the registry files, and the wineserver socket. The default is .I $HOME/.wine. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR wine (1)
