Using Wine in Linux, Minion Can't Find Addons

Shinjite · 07-09-09, 06:18 PM

Hi, all, I'm having some problems getting Minion to find my Addons. Here's my setup:

Running Linux Ubuntu 9.04 with WoW installed to Wine 1.1.20.
I run

Code:

cd /home/shinjite/Minion

then when the Terminal is pointed to the Minion folder,

Code:

java -jar minion.jar

This opens Minion, and I have it pointed to my Interface folder with

Code:

/home/shinjite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns

Minion loads fine, but no addons are displayed in the window. I know my addons are there, because I can get to them from my File Browser, and I have permission to edit them as well.

I know there's got to be someone out there that has a similar setup, and can point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance.

EDIT: Just thought I'd clear some things up ahead of time. Minion is running native in Linux, NOT Wine. Also, when I say that Minion isn't finding my addons, I mean that nothing is showing up in Minion's addon area, NOT that it's recognizing some addons as completely different ones. Thanks again for the help.

IIRC minion dosn't want to know where the interface/addons folder is. It wants to know where the wow.exe is. from there it figures the rest out.

I have same setup as you, can't remember the wine version ( but it's using the ppa from winehq ).

Yes orionshock is correct, when I tried minion out I pointed it at my wow root folder and it sniffed the rest.

edit: On a side note, you may like to install the version of java provided by the medibuntu repositories : http://www.medibuntu.org/

Gah, you're right. That was my mistake. I assumed Minion wanted to know exactly where my AddOns folder was instead of the entire WoW directory. So it was just

Code:

/home/shinjite/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft

I have Java 6.13, which is one below the current version (6.14 I think). I'd looked over Medibuntu, and couldn't find Java though. I probably won't worry about it.

Thanks for the help, orionshock and jadakren.
