winbox-installer's Issues

Application launcher "Exec" line is wrong

It should be Exec=/usr/local/bin/winbox.sh but instead is Exec=wine /usr/local/bin/winbox.sh

Add progress or status while installing wine and dependecies

OpenSUSE

Can you add support for opensuse?

Add curl as a dependency in the README file

Hello there,

I tried to run this script on a bran new installation of ubuntu 18.04 and by default curl isn't installed. Maybe adding this info to the README file will help others.

Thanks!

winbox-installer download 64bit version

It should download 32bit version to correct work.

winbox.sh

I think that there is no procedure which create winbox.sh

Fonts

Also need to install the appropriate fonts?

afther install wine32 its work normal

Maybe bash not sh

I have changed the first line to #!/bin/bash
If not, there are some errors executing it.
I think is BASH nor SH

Thanks

Helps for discovering neighbours

Script specifies /bin/sh, but then uses bash-specific syntax

The first line of the install script specifies #!/bin/sh, but then it uses bash-specific syntax like if [[ (the proper sh supports only [).

The way it is now, the script works only on systems where /bin/sh is a symlink to bash. On systems that have a true sh, or where /bin/sh is a symlink to some other shell, the installer script fails. For example, for me on Linux Mint 19, where /bin/sh is a symlink to dash, it fails.

Either change the shebang line to #!/bin/bash so that the script runs on a shell that supports its syntax; or change the syntax of the script to make less assumptions about the shell.

Doesn't work on Arch

The command pacman -Sq wine doesn't work as wine isn't in default arch repos (core, extra, community).

It's on multilib repo. I'm going to install it on my arch myself and then update this issue.
