Resolving Error: Running Xilinx through Wine

Question

I've run the Xilinx 14.7 Full Installer for Windows successfully via Wine on the prefix com.xilinx.verilog, then went to ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.xilinx.verilog_145331572525077/ to confirm that all the installed files are in-place, which they are under c\:/14.7/ISE_DS along with ISE Design Suite 14.7.desktop located under c\:/users/patrick/Destop/ and ISE Design Suite 14.7.lnk located under c\:/users/Public/Desktop/. The contents of the .desktop file, generated by installing Xilinx, are:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ISE Design Suite 14.7
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/Users/patrick/Library/Application Support/com.xilinx.verilog_145331572525077" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /Users/patrick/Library/Application\\ Support/com.xilinx.verilog_145331572525077/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/ISE\\ Design\\ Suite\\ 14.7.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Comment=ISE Design Suite 14.7
Path=/Users/patrick/Library/Application Support/com.xilinx.verilog_145331572525077/dosdevices/c:/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE
Icon=E55D_ise.0

And I tried running the Exec string directly in the Terminal, but I get the error:

err:module:import_dll Library NDIS.SYS (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\npf.sys") not found
err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"NPF" failed to load
err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x10ef550, overlapped 0x10ef55c): stub

fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Success.

How can I resolve this error?

EDIT I found out that npf.sys was missing due to failed installation of WinPcap, so I downloaded that separately from the site and now running the Exec string gives me this error:

err:module:import_dll Library NDIS.SYS (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\npf.sys") not found

I checked and npf.sys is indeed located in c\:/windows/system32/drivers. Now what?

Answer 1

I decided to try and start the .lnk file directly by opening the DOS Prompt from the wine menu with the com.xilinx.verilog prefix set. After navigating to C:\users\Public\Desktop I ran start "ISE Design Suite 14.7.lnk" and it opened the application window! I'm currently looking for a nicer way to run it, but I'm excited to have it working without needing to run Bootcamp!

EDIT

I ended up creating a shortcut application using the AppleScript editor, and pasted the following code in:

set winePref to "/Users/patrick/Library/Application Support/com.xilinx.verilog_145332206926253"
set execPath to winePref & "/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop/ISE Design Suite 14.7.lnk"
do shell script "env WINEPREFIX=" & quoted form of winePref & " /opt/local/bin/wine start /Unix " & quoted form of execPath

Note that your particular binary path for wine could be different than mine, so make sure you check that.
