I had been struggling to run a vendor supplied program under wine. The device which is controlled by this program connects with USB (or Serial) cable as my laptop only has USB port. The problem was which that the program allowed me the choice of COM1~COM3. Ultimately I was able to get the whole thin working with a simple hack of linking the /dev/ttyUSB0 to COM3 with a simple:
ln -sf /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/COM3 (note the "." before wine) The device was recongnized as COM3 in the program under windows and one more reason to chuck that almost useless partition was added. Two more to go. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
