I'm not familiar with this program, but the website mentions one Linux version: PlanetCNC64-TNG_20180917

I know of this version planet-cnc. But I have old pc dell optiplex 745 and no money for new pc. After that I search some alternative.
Can you help me with wine issue?

Can you help me with wine issue?

According to the manual the program needs .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

You can use winetricks to install the framework

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dotnet35sp1

Two points of attention:
1. Sometimes installing dotnet can break other applications in you wineprefix. Create a clean wineprefix to install dotnet and run this application.
2. The program comes with a Windows driver. It is highly likely the driver doesn't work with Wine.

Thank you very much,
the program works but the windows driver not like you write.
Its some possibility how to check which library use the driver?
For my opinion maybe need some library for correct working. Or its more complicate?

[jkfloris]

Or its more complicate?

Probably it is.

Could you use the Network interface?

[mythos77]

Could you use the Network interface?

Yes I can.
You need use teamviewer?

[jkfloris]

No, I mean the application has an option to connect the device via USB or via a network.
Maybe you could use the network option.

Yes, the application have network connection option but I dont try yet. I try maybe tomorrow or in the weekend. After I write the result when is work or not work the network connection. Also I need try which network cable is good for this connection. Cross cable or standard cable. What I know is the USB connection is not work in wine.
