Introduction

With the Windows emulator wine Win-Test runs also on Linux-machines. This article describes installation, which features work and which not.

Installation

Serial and printer ports

Serial and printer 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
ln -s /dev/lp0 lpt1

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.
