Hello,
there are several hardware related libraries, like libusb and libftd2xx which exist on Windows and at least linux. I tried already to add libftd2xx, but with silent reject.
What is the preferred way to handle it? I feel including in wine is favorable, as this gives a good user impression, as some hardware device connected to the machine with the windows software installed has good chances to work out of the box.
Another possibility, but much less favourable i.m.h.o. would be to build an add-on dll, distributed at either some place at winehq or else. This however requires user intervention and some way to let the user know about the translation dll.
Bye
