Summary: No serial ports Product: Wine Version: 0.9.5. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-ports AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Royce.Souther@SiliconTao.com
Trying to get serial ports working in Wine but no ports show up. I can run minicom and talk to the serial device. This tells me that the port is working and I have permissions to use the device.
I added the port acording to the directions ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
I also tried /dev/ttyS0 and got the same results.
I could not get my custom serail program to find any com ports so I ran hypertrm.exe and it to cannot see any com ports.
I turned on the debug like so royce@ttyp6[~]$ WINEDEBUG=+comm,+serial wine c:/hypertrm.exe fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Untranslated charset 255 fixme:tapi:lineInitialize (0x7f5169cc, 0x7d9f0000, 0x7da1ba77, "HyperTerminal", 0x7f5169dc): stub. err:statusbar:StatusWindowProc unknown msg 0803 wp=0000 lp=00000000 fixme:tapi:lineInitialize (0x7f5169cc, 0x7d9f0000, 0x7da1ba77, "HyperTerminal", 0x7f5169dc): stub. fixme:tapi:lineInitialize (0x7f5169cc, 0x7d9f0000, 0x7da1ba77, "HyperTerminal", 0x7f5169dc): stub.
and that is all the output I am able to get from it.
I also ran wine under strace to see if it found the com1 link file. royce@ttyp6[~]$ export WINEDEBUG=+comm,+serial,+file,+all; strace wine c:/hypertrm.exe 2>&1 | grep -i com1 write(2, "0009:Call kernel32.lstrcmpA(7da2"..., 700009:Call kernel32.lstrcmpA(7da26180 "COM1",7f4e4728 "") ret=7d9f71bd write(2, "0009:Call kernel32.lstrcpyA(7f4e"..., 670009:Call kernel32.lstrcpyA(7f4e4728,7da26180 "COM1") ret=7d9f719b write(2, "0009:Call kernel32.lstrcmpA(7da2"..., 700009:Call kernel32.lstrcmpA(7da26180 "COM1",7f4e4728 "") ret=7d9f71bd write(2, "0009:Call kernel32.lstrcpyA(7f4e"..., 670009:Call kernel32.lstrcpyA(7f4e4728,7da26180 "COM1") ret=7d9f719b
If I do an strace and grep for dosdevices Wine only attempts to open the drive devices.
I don't know if this is a bug but I don't think I am doing anything wrong. Acording to everything I have read all I need to do is make the link file to be able to use serial ports in Wine.
