Set environment variable in WINE

[dimmutal]

I try to install a program (Modelsim XE) with wine. Everything runs ok, except that the program requires to set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to point to a licence.dat file. I've edited the files /etc/profile and .bashrc and added at the end the line

LM_LICENSE_FILE=/home/myname/license.dat

It seems though that it is not recognized by the program. How can i set this?

Re: Set environment variable in WINE

WINE can deal with linux ENV vars: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine...ment-variables
But your app may not be picking them up from /etc/profile - in this case, just write a quick shell script to launch your app for you.

Something like:

#!/bin/bash
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=/home/myname/license.dat
/usr/bin/wine /full/path/to/my/app.exe

Then chmod +x the shell script and give it a try.

Good luck!
