Enabling USB Device Access for Windows Apps in Wine on Linux

Post by alvarule »

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re doing well. I have a question about using Wine on Linux to run Windows applications. Specifically, I’ve encountered an issue where Windows apps running through Wine on Linux aren’t able to access external USB devices like pen drives or cameras.

I believe that customizing or modifying the source code of Wine might be the solution, but I’m not sure how to go about it. Despite my efforts to research this problem online, I haven’t found a satisfying solution.

Could anyone guide me on how to enable Windows applications in Wine to access external USB devices on Linux? If modifying the Wine source code is indeed the way, where should I start, and what aspects should I consider?

I’m eager to learn from your experience and expertise. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Regards,
Atharva
