Installing "standalone" version of Wine to Ubuntu directory

Question

I'm attempting to create an IronWorker and I'd like to use a Windows binary to run the task. I believe that if I can create a standalone Wine executable in a subdirectory and reference it in my worker descriptor that I should be able to run the binary. Every worker starts with a clean environment, so I don't want to reinstall Wine every time (the worker task is very short).

Has anybody successfully achieved this? Thanks in advance.

Try to use .deb files for that. http://dev.iron.io/worker/reference/dotworker/#syntax_reference

You need Ubuntu 12.04 x64 packages. Examples:

• lots of deb files: https://github.com/thousandsofthem/workers/tree/master/mono-3.0.6

• bring-your-own-binary https://github.com/iron-io/iron_worker_examples/tree/master/binary/phantomjs

• bring-your-own-binary simple version: https://github.com/thousandsofthem/workers/tree/master/ffmpeg
