Linux/Mac Support for Private Server VIA playonlinux "Client"

pulse40 · 08/31/2011, 00:54

Any idea if this can be reverse engineered for the installers for as many private server distributions as possible for linux for those not savvy with Wine?

I've been messing around on Debian and I think this script for Playonlinux might help for more universal Linux compatibility.
Below is the source for the playonlinux script file, I'm pretty sure it can be adapted for the private servers, I just don't know how. I'm not a programmer, but I know there are a few of you on this forum who are.

Code:

  28.      if [ "$POL_SELECTED_FILE" = "" ]
  29.      then
  30.      POL_SetupWindow_message "$TITLE setup file is needed before to continue....\n\nDownload it here:\n\n$link" "$TITLE"
  31.      POL_SetupWindow_browse "Where is the installation file of $TITLE?" "$TITLE"
  32.      CHEMIN="$APP_ANSWER"
  33.      else
  34.      CHEMIN="$POL_SELECTED_FILE"
  35.      fi
  36.      POL_SetupWindow_wait "Installing $TITLE" "$TITLE"

I hope it helps you server admins.
