Hello forum,
I would like to run wine with USB support without compiling it myself.
Is there a .deb file out there ?
(I am runnung Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.11 with 32bit)
Or do we have to wait for wine 1.4 ?
Is there a release date for 1.4 ?
greetings
Roland

There is no set release date for 1.4.0, and in any case, USB support is not one of the release criteria.

What I am actually looking for is USB support for Lego mindstorm robolab.
I managed to get a running version af robolab 2.9 with wine1.3.28. Just transfering Data to the Lego Mindstorm Brick is not working as I cannot choose USB from the connection list.
That was really close to "apt-get remove windows", but as long I cannot
run robolab on a linux system I have to use windows on this machine.

Hi r.stiebel,
please file a bug, if you haven't already. This may sound a bit bureaucratic, in the sense of "file a complaint and wait forever", but the wine devs definitely are reading bugs, they just can't fix all of them that fast. But there's a good probability, that your bug get's fixed, when USB support is officially integrated in wine.
kind regards,
|

If you look at that page, you'll see that USB support for iTunes is a release criterion.
That page needs updating; the criteria listed there are based on AJ's keynote address at WineConf 2010.
At WineConf 2011 he explicitly said USB support will not make it into 1.4.

Hi dimensio,
that is bad news!
That means I have to build wine with USB support myself using the
patches from here: [url]http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

Thanks anyway !

Shouldn't be that bad (compiling from source). The build-dep thing makes it a lot easier. Wish I knew about it earlier: "sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3". Gets all the dependencies for you.
Also, you have the fourh step of "make depend" before "make". Also, shouldn't a wine tarball script be fixed to say to do "make depend" next, rather than suggestig the user to rush right into "make"? Never tried it without "make depend", maybe it doesn't need it. Any experts on the matter?
Cheers,
Jake

It's not necessary. Wine will do it automatically.
