Introduction
With the Windows emulator wine Win-Test runs also on Linux-machines.
This article describes installation, which features work and which not.
Installation
Interfaces
Printer ports
Serial ports
Serial port configuration
Serial (and also printer) ports in wine are configurated with Symlinks. Each DOS-device (com1, com2, ... lpt1, lpt2) is represented as a symlink to the device in linux.
To make the symlinks like they are shown in the example image, you have to type:
ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com1 ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 com2
in the .wine/dosdevices directoy in your home directory. Of course you have to type your own configuration.
Tip: If you use USB-serial-adaptors, take a look at /var/log/syslog while or after you connected the device (Debian/ubuntu). The log will show you where got device is connected (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0 -> first serial port running via USB).
You can use the definition direct in your Win-Test.
