Reusing this snap

You can use this snap as a reference for creating snaps of other WINE compatible 32-bit Windows applications or games. Here are the main things you'll need to modify:

• Change the meta data and apps: and parts: names from tsun.
• Modify the command: to reference the executable the application/game should launch.
• If you can't redistrbute the application/game use INSTALL_URL: to reference a web accessible installer.
• Modify the install_app() and launch_app() functions in snap/scripts/sommelier to suit the application/game you're snapping.
• Modify the TITLE and NOTICE in snap/scripts/sommelier to suit the application/game you're snapping.
• If you can't redistrbute the application/game use INSTALL_URL: in the environment: of the main command: to reference a web accessible installer.
• Some games require a virtual desktop to function correctly. Add VIRTDESKTOP: 1 to the environment: of the main command: to enable virtual desktop or set it to 0 or remove it completely to disable a virtual desktop.
• Some applications/games require that WINE DLLs are overriden, you can specify then via DLLOVERRIDES: in the environment: of the main command:.
• If the application/game requires some winetricks to work then you can specify them via TRICKS: in the environment: of the main command:.

Here's an example environment: that shows how to use some of the capabilities outlined above:

    environment:
      WINEPREFIX: "$SNAP_USER_COMMON/.wine"
      DLLOVERRIDES: "mscoree,mshtml=" # Prevent pop-ups about Wine Mono and Wine Gecko
      INSTALL_URL: "https://www.xyz.com/setup.exe"
      TRICKS: "winxp corefonts d3dx9_43"
      VIRTDESKTOP: 1
      LC_ALL: "C.UTF-8"

One other point of interest is that yad is staged in the snap and a faux zenity script is included that execs yad. We do this because yad is argument compatible with zenity but pulls far fewer package dependencies.
