Hello to everybody

i'm trying to launch an application which is used to manage meteorologic al stations (Campbell scientific)
it doesn't work, here's the message from the console

max@max-laptop:~/Bureau/Campbellsci/PC400$ wine start PC400.exe
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
max@max-laptop:~/Bureau/Campbellsci/PC400$ fixme:htmlhelp:HtmlHelpW HH case HH_CLOSE_ALL not handled.

What version of Wine?

I was able to install and launch the free trial of its little brother,
http://www.campbellsci.com/pc200w
in wine-1.3.12 just fine (although no serial port
showed up in the list, and help seemed to crash on exit).

If updating to wine-1.3.12 doesn't help, can you try pc200w ?

Thanks for this quick answer

actually i've tried with PC208W (should be a little upgrade of PC200W)
and it works fine (didn't try the "help"), it recognizes me my com port as well.

i managed to configure the serial (wich work for me with a usb to serial cable) using a few command lines in the terminal so if you want help we can have a look

i use version 1.2.2 of wine, i'll try the upgrade, and if it doesn't work, i'lll come back here...

G'day mate, I'm Dan from Campbell Scientific Australia.

I saw your request for help on the WineHQ forums and I was just checking to see whether you were able to sort out that issue. We don't offer support for Wine (we have a specific Linux version of our Loggernet software for that) but I am able to give support for our software side of things.

If you'd like to discuss this further you're more than welcome to contact me on +61 7 4772 0444 or at [email protected].

I am trying to run PC200W as well using Wine 1.3.28. Below is my Debug log. Each of the other programs included in the package works but not PC200W. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have been able to install and launch PC200 with wine, but it does not show any COM ports. I have even made these symbolic links:
ln -s /dev/ttyS0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1
ln -s /dev/ttyS1 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com2
etc. , but nothing shows up.

Can you help me, please.

Are you using real serial ports (based round a 16550 UART) or a USB
adaptor? Wine can't see some USB adapters but IME can always see real
UARTs.

Be aware that the Linux kernel will always create /dev/ttyS[0-3] at boot
time regardless of whether the computer hardware actually has any serial
ports, but of course they won't work.

Its worth checking whether Linux is recognising your serial ports:
Serial ports on the motherboard or a PCI serial adapter card should be
recognised at boot time: run "dmesg | less" and scroll through the boot
report it displays. This will show you how many UARTS Linux has found
and activated. If you have more than 4 installed, you'll need to provide
the kernel argument:
8250.nr_uarts=n
at boot time, best done by editing /root/grub/grub.conf - 'n' is the
number of serial ports you have installed. Some hints on editing the
GRUB config file are here:
http://www.libelle-systems.com/free/gru ... _menu.html

USB adapters are different: their devices are called /dev/ttyUSBn where
'n' is 0 for the first one and is incremented for each adapter. These
are created as the adapter is plugged in and destroyed as it is removed:
you can try using a symlink but bear in mind that it will be invalid
when the adapter isn't plugged in. As I said, I haven't had any joy with
USB adapters, though the Belkin is said to work with Wine. I bought a
six port serial PCI card which 'just worked' once I'd added the kernel
argument to say I have six serial ports. This works without needing any
COMn: symlinks and has done over many Wine versions and several RedHat
Fedora upgrades.
