[Bug 55586] New: Add a --nographics option to winecfg?

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

Bug ID: 55586
           Summary: Add a --nographics option to winecfg?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.22
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

I know that the main intended use case of Wine is as a replacement for Windows,
but, based on my experience, it runs very well for console applications too,
and I successfully use it to run mingw-w64 compiler tests on Linux.

However, since my build environment is completely headless, the wine I use is
also built without any graphic drivers.

Unfortunately, in this configuration, when wine is executed for the first time,
it complains quite verbosely:

```
Priming wine...

[mkdir -pv /home/ilg/.wine]

I was wondering whether we can add a `--nographic` option to skip the creation
of the window, and avoid all these annoying messages.

[Bug 55586] Add a --nographics option to winecfg?

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55586

--- Comment #1 from Liviu Ionescu  ---
If adding a --nographic option is of little interest, can someone familiar with
the code suggest a simple build configuration to include some minimalistic
driver that will make wine invocations in CI/CD environments (like docker
images running in GitHub runners) less verbode?

Right now each invocation looks like this:

```
[wine64
/home/ilg/Work/xpack-dev-tools/clang-xpack.git/build-assets/build/win32-x64/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/x86_64-w64-mingw32/tests/x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang/c-cpp/lto-crt-atomic-64-bootstrap.exe

```

My current build configuration disables almost everything:

--disable-tests --disable-win16]
```

I am reluctant to enable things that are known to never be used, since I have
to compile all resulting dependencies from sources, but if there is something
that I can do to get rid of the many messages shown when invoking wine, I might
do an effort.

Thank you,

Liviu

You can use WINEDEBUG=-all to suppress that output.

Thank you, this is indeed an useful workaround.

The only drawback I see is that it suppresses **all** messages, not only those
related to the missing graphical drivers, including possible legit messages,
which, in certain cases, might be a problem.
