Unable to Compile Wine

Post by T77 »

I am trying to port an application from Windows to Ubuntu using Wine. The application accesses a USB device. The application launches fine, but it cannot access the USB device. I found out that USB support is not standard in Wine and I need to compile it in, as stated here:

http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

I added in the patch and all of the build dependencies and it compiles for a while before I get the following errors:

It's in ntddk.h from hal.c. There are a few redeclaration, redefinition and conflicting type errors. I apologize, I would be more specific, but copy and paste from my VM is not working. I checked the forums here and Google, but could not find a solution.

Any help is appreciated. Or, if a Wine image with this already built in exists, that would be even better.

Thanks!

That patch is old and apparently no longer being maintained by its author, since the last version listed on his site is for 1.5.7. You could try contacting him to see if he's willing to provide an updated version.

Thanks! Assuming he's abandoned it, does that mean there will be no USB support going forward in Wine?
