powershell-wrapper for wine

Wrapper for powershell.exe from wine ( this helps fix the RSI Launcher, when it creates directories. ).

Uses pwsh.exe from Powershell Core to get functionality for powershell.exe in wine:

Various commands fed to powershell.exe have a slightly different syntax then what pwsh.exe understands, so these commands are rewritten so pwsh.exe "understands" them. For example 'powershell.exe -Nologo 1+2' is internally reworked to 'pwsh.exe -Nologo -c 1+2'

If the command is still incompatible with pwsh.exe there's an option to replace (parts of) the command to fix things (in profile.ps1). See profile.ps1 for an example: the ambigous command 'measure -s' (for which pwsh will throw an error) is replaced with 'measure -sum'

Install

Winetricks or Protontricks (Recommended)

• Clone git repository
• Change directories to git repository
• Install the custom winetricks verbs:
  • winetricks --unattended ./verbs/powershell_core.verb ./verbs/powershell.verb
  • Or you can use protontricks:
    • protontricks <steamappID> --unattended ./verbs/powershell_core.verb ./verbs/powershell.verb

Compiling and Manual Install

You'll need golang installed, for Fedora see: https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tech/languages/go/go-installation.html

Clone the git repository.

To compile the binaries, you can run make

Want to only build one architecture? Try make powershell32.exe or make powershell64.exe

Install Powershell Core using Winetricks (Or you can do it manually, however this is far easier.):

• Run the custom winetricks verbs: winetricks --unattended ./verbs/powershell_core.verb or protontricks <steamappID> --unattended ./verbs/powershell_core.verb

Assuming ~/.wine is where your wineprefix is

cp -rf ./powershell64.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe
cp -rf ./powershell32.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe
cp -rf ./src/profile.ps1 "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PowerShell/7/profile.ps1"
