Don't put fixmes in the summary.

I'm changing the componenet to setupapi as it's at least related, but the real
component should be explorer.

Explorer's hal.c should be extended to create new devices for all the ports it
finds, using SetupDiCreateDeviceInfo followed by SetupDiRegisterDeviceInfo. 
For some devices it should also call SetupDiCreateDeviceInterface to register a
particular interface.

reg file to work around problem

Can you run the attached reg file and see if it works around the problem? 
Change the SymbolicLink value to the DOS name of the com port you want to use. 
You'll need an up to date git, some fixes got in after 0.9.47.

Don't bother with 0.9.47 - like I said, there were some fixes post that
release.  Wait till 0.9.48 instead, and please update then.  If it fails with
this reg hack applied with 0.9.48, please post a +setupapi log here.

Better reg fix

Hi Bernhard, I haven't quite figured this one out.  If I run SOB_PORTS.exe, it
shows an empty list of com ports.  But if I click on the "Show all" checkbox,
it shows COM1 and more.  Is that sufficient?

This reg file makes the registry slightly more correct, so please use it when
trying 0.9.48.

Yet better reg fix

Okay, thanks.  I've fixed a bug that prevented the COM port from showing up in
the first dialog.  Additionally, it needs this reg file (adjust to whatever COM
port you want to use.)

If you see an error "Access denied [5]" in the Status column, be sure to change
permissions on the actual COM port (/dev/ttyS0 for me.)

ok, didit

result: SOB_PORTS see the port and gets the data alright

SOB-MAX doesn't get any data :(

how do we go about testing this?

Hm.  I don't know.  You might try asking on wine-users, some people there have
more experience working with serial ports in Wine than I do.

I am having the same problems in another application, EasyGPS. The registry fix
 works in adding COM1. Getting this fixed without having to import registry
keys would make EasyGPS go from a Gold to a Platinum rating.

I've found a Freeware library that EasyGPS (and I imagine a lot of other
applications use) to query the available COM ports. It is EnumSerialPorts
(http://www.naughter.com/enumser.html) and has 7 different methods to find the
available COM ports. The download also includes an application, EnumSer.exe
that tests and shows the output for all the functions (making it really easy to
test). I think we should be returning a list of ports for each of these
functions as they are a common set of APIs that are likely used by many
appliations.

EasyGPS in particular is using the CEnumerateSerial::UsingSetupAPI2 function
which returns nothing currently.

This could also be the same as bug 2898 and with helpful info in bug 4633.

I am using Wine 1.0-rc2 with Absolute Linux 12.1 (Slackware 12.1) on a
PentiumII 300MHz.
I installed the Velleman PCS500 Digital PC Oscilloscope that uses the parallel
port but when I start the application it says that it can not find the parallel
port so it runs only in demo mode.

According to:
http://www.lafraze.net/nbernard/doc/misc_tips/velleman.html
it could be done configuring old versions of Wine but ./wine/config is not
there any longer when using the recent versions of Wine.

Can it be done that Wine 1.0 will be able to detect the parallel port?

I'd like to sync my cellphone with some windows software that uses COM ports to
talk with it.

The problem is that also if I symlink my virtual serial ports in
$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices the softwares I'm using doesn't see them. They simply
see no com ports available in my computer.

I've tried p2ktools (in AT mode), Mobile PhoneTools and others... No one sees
an available com port in my PC.

I am using Wine 1.1.4, and I am having a similar problem with Samsung PC Studio
v3.1.3.GK2.  I have created a symbolic link to /dev/ttyUSB1 in
.wine/dos_devices, but the application does not detect any serial ports when I
try and connect my phone.  I have also tried all the registry fixes attached to
this bug, but they did not work for me.  I would post a debug log, but I am not
sure which debug channel to use.

Still no luck with me either....
> From my terminal I started the gpsd daemon (I tried a few parms like read only

and run in the background, but in the end I risked my GPS for the greater
good):
sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0

I then created a symbolic link and created a com port5:
sudo ln -sb /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4

I then did some checking to ensure the links are correct, the permissions are
OK and the gpsd daemon is running:
~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS4

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-12-30 14:34 /dev/ttyS4 -> /dev/ttyUSB0
~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0

crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2008-12-30 15:42 /dev/ttyUSB0
~$ ps -ef|grep gpsd
nobody   17117     1  1 14:50 ?        00:00:36 gpsd -n /dev/ttyUSB0

Now when I use the application SOB_ports.exe and test it on COM port 5 I see it
finds the GPS sentence JUST ONCE ONLY, and not again. I then can see it does
not display it on the SOBvMAX NMEA data panel at all.

I then checked the gpsd daemon using a utility called xgps that comes with the
gpsd daemon. I wanted to know if its a tty setting or failure of the GPS
device:
~$ /usr/bin/xgps localhost::/dev/ttyS4

The xgps software which shows all is working OK. It works not only from COM
port5 but also from /dev/ttyUSB0.

I did a further test using a facility called gpspipe to test the ports again.
It proves the GPS and ports are working correctly.
~$ gpspipe -r -s /dev/ttyS4
GPSD,R=1

$PGRME,0.00,M,0.00,M,0.00,M*1E
^C
I then did another test using the ~/.vine/dosdevices/ttyS4 thinking that the
problem may still be in the Wine/Linux boundary.

I also played around with the Hardware Control off/on from within SOBvMAX, but
no good.

Of interest to me was that from within SOB I could switch on its logging
function and it logged NMEA sentences fine...., but the SOB_PORTS.exe program
which assigned the com port to SOB (mentioned by an earlier tester) only shows
1 NMEA sentence and then no more, while it continues to log.

Baffled...
Mike
