I've been working on a still image implementation for wine / ReactOS for a while now, and I've only recently realised how impossible it is in wine at the moment...
wine's SETUPAPI.DLL is not even in its infancy, it doesn't even let you enumerate non-serial-port devices, and doesn't load class-installers, so you can't even install a scanner's INF file. I see that ReactOS's implementation is better and it is under the right (LGPL) licence; are we planning on including it into wine, and if so, when?
If it can be ported to the WINE framework ... Feel free to submit patches ...
wine's NEWDEV.DLL is pure stubs - so you can't even start installing the device INF file. ReactOS's latest SVN version of it is a little closer to what I need, but can we include GPL code in wine? (I've asked the developers to relicense it under the LGPL for us, but they haven't gotten back to me yet).
So what should I do - submit my STI.DLL and STI_CI.DLL into wine now, even though they won't be usable for a good while - or wait for wine to mature?
I would say only if we can make sure it works continously.
What does STI provide? Access to digital cameras and scanners?
