🦀 wincompatlib

Rust library that contains a set of interfaces to run windows applications on unix-like systems using Wine

Features:

  • Different wine builds
  • Can create wine prefixes & run applications
  • Support DXVK installing, uninstalling, applied version parsing (dxvk)
  • Has bundles system for special wine builds (wine-bundles)
  • Has Proton support (wine-proton)
  • Integrates with winetricks (same called feature)
  • Can install Microsoft Corefonts (wine-fonts feature)

Examples

Run cmd.exe using system wine

use wincompatlib::prelude::*;

// Run cmd.exe using system wine
Wine::default().run("cmd");

// Ask for cmd's help
let child = Wine::default().run_args(["cmd", "/c", "help"]).unwrap();

println!("Help: {}", &String::from_utf8_lossy(&child.wait_with_output().unwrap()));

Print wine version

use wincompatlib::prelude::*;

// Print wine version
println!("Wine version: {:?}", Wine::default().version().unwrap());

Run cmd.exe using custom wine, and then stop it

use wincompatlib::prelude::*;

let wine = Wine::from_binary("/path/to/wine");

// Run cmd.exe using custom wine
// and then stop it
wine.run("cmd");
wine.stop_processes(true);

Print DXVK version

// Requires "dxvk" feature (enabled by default)
use wincompatlib::prelude::*;

match Dxvk::get_version("/path/to/prefix") {
    Ok(Some(version)) => println!("DXVK applied: {}", version),
    Ok(None) => println!("DXVK is not applied"),
    Err(err) => eprintln!("Failed to get DXVK version: {}", err)
}

Install DXVK

// Requires "dxvk" feature (enabled by default)
use wincompatlib::prelude::*;

Wine::default()
    .install_dxvk("/path/to/dxvk-x.y.z", InstallParams::default())
    .expect("Failed to install DXVK");
