Running a script through an existing wine prefix

Support
1

Hey!

I am trying to put a launcher script written in Perl into Lutris to start it from there. this script is for a City of Heroes server that I have to run through a wine prefix. So whenever I want to play I just type into a terminal this:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefix ./thelauncher.pl obviusly after cd-ing into the folder or just typing in the relative path

So far I had no success achieving the same through Lutris. I added the location of the script as an executable, Linux as runner and I put the "

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefix

" as Command prefix. It does nothing, terminal gives me this

2019-06-26 14:00:02,736: Unable to read stat for process 9036
2019-06-26 14:00:02,736: Unable to read stat for process 9036

Setting runner as Wine, it complains that it’s a bad EXE, since it is not an .exe.

How can I make a Lutris launcher that simply executes the mentioned command?

Which version of wine do you use?

4.9 Staging, under Manjaro KDE

Rather than having a custom prefix, you should put these variables into the ENV config:

Also, you didn’t mention; have you set the workdir to the correct path as well?

Yes, workdir is set correctly, I tried what you mentioned, putting it in the ENV variables.
The script now actually starts to run and works flawlessy!

Thank you so much for your help, I obviously didn’t know that this is how it works.

Thanks again, have a great day!
