Re: Wine and industrial communication like OPC
But I have to convince my boss... How meny ours do you think it wood take to get DCom to work in Wine? 50 h / 100h / 500h / 1000h ?
Good question. I'm afraid I have no idea, it's impossible to predict.
Maybe it helps, if you have a OPC server source code to see what is needed on COM/DCOM functions. You can find a free (LGPL) OPC server on the following link:
Thank you, always good to have a LGPL version... But the big problem is DCom
We are a small software company, and I know that some customers of us are interested in OPC on Linux in the past. There is one working solution as far as I know. It is a OPC Toolkit from Technotrend which is based on the COM/DCOM implementation EntireX of Software AG. But its not Open Source unfortunally.
Some links about this:
http://www.opcconnect.com/tooltech.php http://www2.softwareag.com/corporate/products/entirex/default.asp http://www.tsopc.com/modules/solutions/products.html
I don't know the license cost of this products at the moment, because our customers decided not to use Linux.
I gote a privet mail tipp for that Solution to, it lookt god untill I lookt at Technosoftwares "Software AG's EntireX DCOM on Linux" and AG's EntireX DCOM licens: http://www2.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/entirex/downloads/downl_exxdco... It seems like they wanted a license from all users (not just a development License), so that don't look good in our case. But they have a free vertion for non comersial use, if someone else is helpt by that... And a free trial vertion, for companies. Perhaps could be interesting to try it. Thanks for your tipp thow. /Rickard -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
