Connecting a gps to download data

[Agustin Lobo]

I've installed through wine the program for a gps data logger QSTARZ.
The program works fine with wine, but cannot dowmnload the data from the
gps because I only have a windows driver for it.
Any way to get the windows driver installed in linux so that I could
download the data?

Thanks
Agus

Wine doesn't support any hardware drivers: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-8021e00 ... 621b9d9366

The only chance you can get your GPS to work on Wine is if it's a standard serial device (or USB->serial). In that case you system should find and install driver automatically or you'll need to help it.

And AppDB seems to have someone running it: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=10016

So the only thing you'll need to do is to run this command:

Code: Select all

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com3
