Greetings all !
I have a task ahead of me. I need to write an application that will access a RFID reader. We have a library from the supplier that contains all the functions, and we have it in two forms. A static .lib file and a dll, but both are Win32 libraries. From what I have read, utilising WINE I should be able to load this library along with a WineLib excecutable, and then code the rest of the program in Unix C++. Am I right here ?
If so, can anyone help me out with a few lines of example code ? I have read the WineLib users guide, but I cant seem to come right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks in advance

What is an RFID reader? R_adio F_requency I_dentifucation D_evice? Probably a device connected external to your PC. I mostly will use drivers (.vxd, .sys) by using CreateFile( ...,"\\.\<xxx>"...), DeviceIO(...)) The driver may be internal or external. Only a few MS internal drivers are implemented, only to a small extend. Every functionality of the driver your programm uses needs to be implemented in wine. No MS or external drivers may be used by Wine.

Run the application and look what is does. Find out more about the driver.
