Sentinal USB dongled program

pj · Post by pj » Sat Dec 05, 2009 6:05 am

Hello,

does anybody know whether it is now possible with the new version of wine to install a USB-dongled program?

The program is Omega from Gerber, and they use Sentinel drivers.

Kind regards

We don't have USB support in Wine nor are we able to load device drivers. (Sure some usb serial devices work but that's it).

If you've got time, you can try these patches....

Wine should really have better USB support. There are so many devices, that want to communicate over serial/USB ports. Imho proper USB support would be far more important than 64bit support, but I do understand, that it is not an easy task, especially because lots of devices need their drivers installed, at some point it would probably require similar efforts like ndiswrapper (which was based on wine).

Thanks very much for the prompt replies and help. It seems that these dongles are not to be trifled with, but Omega is the only software which keeps me from running Ubuntu on all our computers, as we need it to print to our Gerber Edge machines. There is other software on the market which would talk to the printers, but they are also dongled and use MS Windows. The "git" thing looks good, but probably too complicated for me to contemplate.

The dongle is a "Superpro", if anyone has specific info.

Kind regards

I keep an eye on this list for years due this issue because I have a
dongled program and it is the only one that keeps me from ditching
windows permanently. It uses an Aladdin dongle. I use wine for other
programs and upgrade it often on opensuse. I'm looking forward to the
day when the ongle it is supported since wine gets better and better.

It isn't that hard to compile wine from source with that patch. The only thing that you need to do which I can't explain is getting all the libraries and applications to compile wine. However, if you're running Ubuntu, just type:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

That should get you the build dependencies. After that, you can do the following to get Wine, patch it and compile it:

Code: Select all

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
cd ~/wine-git
wget ftp://ftp.etersoft.ru/pub/people/amorozov/usb/current/0001-Add-support-of-native-Windows-drivers-for-USB-tokens.txt
wget ftp://ftp.etersoft.ru/pub/people/amorozov/usb/current/0002-Re-generate-some-files.txt
git am 0001*.txt 0002*.txt
./configure
make depend
make
make install

As to using the native USB driver, I have no idea, but I know that some people around these forums might be able to help you with that!

Cheers,

Hello jorl17,

thanks for posting that info, but I am not sure how it helps. I have wine1.1.31 already installed.

However, I followed your instructions (I had seen some of them before on the git-wine site), and after installing flex and bison running ./configure I get:

Code: Select all

configure: error: X development files not found. Wine will be built
without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install
development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.
Use the --without-x option if you really want this.

Apparently, looking at ubuntuforums, I could need:

# bison (got it)
# flex (got it)

# gcc
# libc6-dev
# libfontconfig-dev (libfontconfig1-dev)
# libfreetype6-dev
# libgl-dev (libgl1-mesa-dev or xlibmesa-gl-dev)
# libglu-dev (libglu1-mesa-dev or xlibmesa-glu-dev)
# libgphoto2-dev (libgphoto2-2-dev)
# libice-dev
# libjpeg-dev (libjpeg62-dev)
# libldap-dev (libldap2-dev)
# libncurses5-dev
# libpng-dev (libpng12-dev)
# libsm-dev
# libssl-dev
# libusb-dev
# libx11-dev
# libxcomposite-dev
# libxcursor-dev
# libxext-dev
# libxi-dev
# libxinerama-dev
# libxml2-dev
# libxrandr-dev
# libxrender-dev
# libxslt-dev (libxslt1-dev)
# libxt-dev
# libxxf86vm-dev
# make
# x-dev

!!!!

The problem could come from:

Code: Select all

~/wine-git$ git am 0001*.txt 0002*.txt
previous rebase directory /home/paul/wine-git/.git/rebase-apply still exists but mbox given.

Lost here, I'm afraid

Does this help?

~/wine-git$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Any ideas please?

Kind regards

Yes, you will need ALL of those packages to build/make/install a custom
build of wine. This is why there is a Recommended Packages page on the
Wine/Wiki site.

There is a command to get all of these packages, in the proper order.

Yes, there's an easier way. All you have to do is run:

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

and that will install all the packages you need to build wine. (You are
on Ubuntu, right?)

If you have any problems, post back here.

Hello Chip

well, bit the bullet, built, configured and made wine. "Make install" gives me an error - perhaps I need to use sudo make install, but I am loathe to go further without a little in the way of pointers. Wine is already installed on the computer. Here is the code - I have left out all the repeated bits:

Code: Select all

You don't need to install wine, you can run it directly from the

pj · Post by pj » Mon Dec 07, 2009 2:51 pm

Well, that was a prompt answer! Only had time to eat some Reibekuchen!

Code: Select all

~/wine-git$ ~/wine-git/wine application.exe
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:dwmapi:DwmIsCompositionEnabled 0x33cf24
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0xa7de8d8, overlapped 0xa7de8e0): stub
fixme:iphlpapi:GetAdaptersAddresses no support for IPv6 addresses
fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub
wine: configuration in '/home/pj/.wine' has been updated.
wine: Module not found

Is this promising? Looks like it. I have received an email from Alexander Morozov for hopefully supporting the dongle. Just want to make sure that wine is reading the appropriate files.

Kind regards

I have received an email from Alexander Morozov. His suggestion is:

You should put a driver to
windows/system32/drivers manually. I tested Sentinel key with
vid=04b9,pid=0300 and sntnlusb.sys driver. It worked after adding these
entries to a registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_04b9&Pid_0300\5&6d75465&0&1]
"ClassGUID"="{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}"
"HardwareID"="system32\DRIVERS\SNTNLUSB.SYS"
"Service"="SNTNLUSB"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNTNLUSB]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"="system32\\DRIVERS\\SNTNLUSB.SYS"
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000003

Hope that helps you. I have not yet tried it out, but will do this week.

Kind regards

However, he needs to make sure that library files will be read from that location first as well or the libraries from the installed wine will be read in and cause confusing and erroneous results. For example the USB support code from Wine does not include dongle support but the built libraries will.

make install needs to run as root.

Yes, simple:

Code: Select all

sudo make install

or
su -
make install
exit

This will install Wine to the appropriate directories. This should be done AFTER insuring that your custom build will run!

[/quote]Very kind of you to give me that info. Before your mail, following
this thread, I had gone to the official wine wiki and checked the
necessary packages to build wine on a 64 bit system. I don't have 1/2
of what I need. So I mulled it over and put off the process. Your
mail gives me encouragement. I don't know if Suse has a process to
get all the needed rpm's like Ubuntu has for it's packages. Otherwise
the amount of work is doable, but I am pressed for time. Let's see.
Wine is a fabulous program. I decided ten years ago that I would get
my program (Radar - homeopathic software) to run on wine. I'm still
short of that but I have not given up. Gustav

To that Gustav, pj please forward, if necessary:

Under Opensuse it will probably be the easiest way, if he installs the 1.1.34 wine-source, wine-devel packages. That way opensuse will automatically install all dependencies. Then he should be able to compile git, assuming that no new dependencies were introduced recently).

I've tried to applythe patches to the latest code from git but unfortunately it fails. It seems there's been quite a few changes to the code and so the patches are not compatible any more.
Does anyone know if there will be patches working with the latest code from git or which previous version of the code I should be getting in order to make these patches work?
Thanks in advance for your help
