CrossOver Support - Community Forums

The question is pretty straightforward: How does someone install a few winetricks, available in Winebottler, in a Crossover bottle? Also, I should specify that I'm running OSX, though I'm sure people would appreciate an answer for Linux users as well.

Hi,

This may or may not work (depending on what you're actually installing). Always check in the
'runtime support components' section of crossover to check there isn't already an equivalent package
available that's builtin to crossover....ie; the winetricks 'vcrun6' target is the same as the
crossover 'microsoft visual c++ 6.0 redistributable' target...

Let's say you make a new bottle in crossover and give it the name NewBottle and you want to install
riched20 into that crossover bottle using winetricks. Assuming the winetricks script is in your $PATH
you would do something like this;

[Mac]

WINEPREFIX="/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games/Bottles/NewBottle" winetricks riched20

[linux]

WINEPREFIX=~/.cxgames/NewBottle winetricks riched20

Cheers!

Sorry for being so new to this but when you wrote "Assuming the winetricks script is in your $PATH you would do something like this," what did you mean by the script being in the $PATH? And where would I write what that command?

Thanks for the help.

If you're talking about winetricks on the Mac...it's a real pain at best. I've tried several times and I always wound up backing it out as it caused me more problems than it was worth. What are you trying to do? ie, Are you trying to get a specific app/game to work?

Hi,

@Brian -- sorry, if you don't know what $PATH looks like on OSX, then that idea is probably too complex
for you to follow...umm....

I suppose you could use the winetricks.c4p that Aric did for example - let us know if you want a copy of it..

Cheers!

Actually, the Mac bottle is inside the user's home folder, so it would be:

WINEPREFIX=~"/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games/Bottles/NewBottle" winetricks riched20

(To complicate matters, there is a /Library/Application Support/CrossOver folder for CrossOver Pro and published bottles. Since published bottles are available to all users on the system, those don't go into any user's home.)

Thanks Ken...(I always get Mac paths wrong, possibly because I don't have a Mac 8)
