Hello Everyone,

 

I would like to add the following WINE DLL to a Windows application in POL to use the native Linux USB stack:

https://github.com/stanson-ch/libusb-wine

 

The Windows application is a vector network analyzer control program for the SDR-Kits VNWA. It controls the hardware through the USB:

The DLL needs to be compiled and installed, but it looks like that the Makefile is for a "simply installed" Wine environment, and not for one installed by POL. Just changing the library paths is not enough, winegcc does not get invoked.

Obviously something else needs to be modified as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I use POL 4.3.4 on Kubuntu 20.04.

The Windows VNWA application is a 32-bit application.

 

Thanks, Peter

winegcc is provided on https://www.playonlinux.com/wine artifact, you can use it on different wine version, depends on the bottle/virtual disk on POL you use, it's better to create a POL script and add the running script on it. it will be compiled using the script.
