Need a little help - nothing urgent re: Houdini/Mac

[MikeB]

What's the best and simplest way to connect HCE for the Mac and Hounded 4.0 32 bit together using wine. I created a Winewrap around the 32 bit Houdini - and it works fine in console mode when I double click on the wine wrap.

and here's the cc code I wrote to compile the wrap

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main&#40;&#41;
&#123;
	FILE *f = fopen&#40;"wrapper.ini", "r"&#41;;
	char buf&#91;1024&#93;, exe_name&#91;1024&#93;;
	if&#40;!f&#41; return -1;
	fscanf&#40;f, "%&#91;^\n&#93;", exe_name&#41;; fclose&#40;f&#41;;
	snprintf&#40;buf, 1024, "/opt/local/bin/wine %s/%s",  getcwd&#40;&#41;, exe_name&#41;;
	system&#40;buf&#41;;
	return 0;
&#125;

When I go to connect the Wrap as a UCI engine to HCE, HCE does not recognize the wrap as UCI engine.

Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

Just get wine bottler from the link below ( click skip ad after 5 seconds)
