Trying to get N1MM Logger working under Wine

[nate]

I am trying to use an amateur radio logging program under Wine, but other than installation, I've been unable to get the program running. Most likely I just need some assistance figuring out which DLLs are still missing. On advice I installed DCOM98 and VCRUN6 and set mfc42, ole32 and rpcrt4 to (builtin, native).

So far all I get are a few dialog boxes, the first titled "EntryWindow (Database_Initialize) - 429 - ActiveX component can't create object", the second titled "EntryWindow (Program_Initialize) - 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set", the third titled "EntryWindow (Form_Initialize) - 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set", each of these prompt "Would you like to send an error report" to which i click Cancel in each. Finally, I get a fourth dialog box titled N1MM Logger and its text says, "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set".

Running the logger from a terminal with "WINEDEBUG=warn+dll" results in the following output:

:~/.wine/drive_c/N1MM Logger$ WINEDEBUG=warn+dll wine N1MM\ Logger.exe
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00540120 at address 0x7ee2cadc (thread 0017), starting debugger...

I am trying to use an amateur radio logging program under Wine, but other than installation, I've been unable to get the program running. Most likely I just need some assistance figuring out which DLLs are still missing. On advice I installed DCOM98 and VCRUN6 and set mfc42, ole32 and rpcrt4 to (builtin, native).

Whose advice? There doesn't appear to be an AppDB entry for this, and outside howtos aren't supported here. Dcom98 in particular doesn't work well in current Wine.

Code: Select all

PE 540000- 546000 Deferred dlportio.sys

This is some sort of Windows hardware driver; those won't work in Wine. Try deleting that file.

Try this again, without ANY overrides and then tell us what happens when
you run the program from a command prompt.

I decided to try this again on a clean account and running Wine 1.2. So far, nothing has changed as I receive the same dialogs as in my initial post. Here is the output from a simple run:

Code: Select all

$ wine N1MM\ Logger.exe

Obviously, there seems to be an OLE issue. Any pointers on how to proceed will be appreciated.

Also I did not install the dlportio.sys this time around.

Hardware drivers are not supported in Wine. This looks and smells like one.

Try winetricks jet40.

That did the trick! Thanks much.

dlportio is only required for LPT port keying. I would not recommend trying
that under Wine. You could use serial port keying (one transistor circuit) or
winkey - a dedicated keyer that runs off a serial port.

Jet is the jet engine that supports the database used by the program.

If you have been successful in getting the program to run under Wine, please
post the steps so I can refer people to it who ask. I don't run linux, I just
don't have time to.

Please also indicate what windows and functions you have been able and *not
able* to make work under Wine. Of particular interest are:

Windows:
Log & Entry
Bandmap
Packet
Info
Rotor support

Functions:
Radio interfacing
LPT port keying (certainly not)
Serial port keying
Winkey keying
Multi user using LAN
Telnet (packet window)
Launching of other programs for help, QRZ lookup, reporting application etc.

The above windows and functions were chosen represent distinct areas that
might be problematic with Wine.

Hi!

I have to say that N1MM is one of the best logging software ever made for ham radio operators. I use N1MM Classic and the new one N1MM Plus. Few years ago I successfully installed N1MM Classic under Wine and it is still work just fine. There were some problems how enable serial ports which is the same problem now with N1MM Plus. Under Wine 1.8 programme runs OK, logging window, telnet window, everything works perfect except I can't get communication with COM ports.

Any idea what should be wrong?

Hi!

I tried to fix the problem with serial ports in N1MM Plus under wine. No progress at all. Does anyone know if the Wine 1.9 is solution for my problem?

Bye,

Robi.
