Ah, FINALLY, after so many USB user requests, someone actually wants to get something done :) You need to figure out how Windows implements USB support (I don't have the slightest clue either, sorry). Try searching on http://search.microsoft.com to figure out if you should implement a VxD or .sys driver DLL in Wine or so. I'm quite sure it should be possible somehow, without any operating system ring 0 issues or so (after all you're writing your own Wine driver, so it should be fairly doable). On the Linux side, of course you should interface to the USB stack (fairly obvious anyway ;). One plea: please don't implement that for oldish 2.4.x USB stack, start with the new 2.6.x USB stack (adding support for the older 2.4.x stack later is pretty easy anyway IMHO). It might be that you actually need to implement your own Wine-USB Linux driver (for interfacing to the non-privileged Wine application side, via ioctls or so). Good luck, and keep asking if you run into problems! Andreas Mohr

Something new: I just booted up that system for the first time since installing winrash (it's not used often), and Windows complained about it performing an illegal operation. Naturally, I tried repeating that by rebooting, and it didn't do it again. -- Joshua 'bruce' Crawford ... http://www.geocities.com/mortarn "Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it." -Irene Peter

Re: USB?

by Ivan Leo Puoti

I don't think drivers are an issue, what we wants to do is use an app that uses the usb ports, and he wants to use this app from wine. So he wants to write an interface for wine, that would take driver calls from the program and forward them to ioctl(whatever) so the app will work with the usb ports, or at least thats how I think it may work. I don't think it's easy to find USB ports not supported by linux now days, but wine isn't usb-aware. Ivan.

Granted, USB is an order of magnitude more complex, but hopefully the basic idea isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

If you mean that you can use Windows USB drivers on Wine, then I'm not sure that it is within Wine's charter to do that.

I'm interested in possibly working on USB support for Wine. I'm not particularly familiar with USB programming, but I'm fluent in C and C++. Where do I start?

ms devel tools

by Ivan Leo Puoti

If anyone needs to test something out with m$ development tools for whatever reason, they are giving away free betas (It doesn't matter, all m$ software is alpha/beta) of the express development tools, so if you need one get it until you can. http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/ I'm going to try and see how much of wine will build with visualc++.
