Coding help

Post by zen0 »

Hi all!

I'm trying to figure out how to run Cary WinUV software in Wine. There are native drivers for the National Instruments DAQ card that is used to communicate with a Cary Photospectrometer, and I can get the WinUV software to run in Wine, but it throws an error for the custom cary.dll

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to go next? ...merging windows and linux hardware drivers? or reverse engineering .DLLs?

Anyone?

Thanks in Advance

Seems to me that software running in WINE have only access to devices that the host system can manage.
Wine has no direct access to the hardware, but relies on the host system libraries.
I don't know much about hardware access from WINE, though, I may be wrong.

When you say native drivers is that windows or linux native?
Please, also tell what the error message is.
