Wine and USB 2.0 Support

[brokencrystal]

Does anyone know if the team is working on a version of wine with USB support? I would like to get my Microsoft Zune to work under Linux. If I could get the Zune software installed under Wine and have access to my USB 2.0 ports, this just might work... If they are not currently working on this... Can I put in a request and where?

here instructions of how to vote for apps in Wine

[Faud]

If you look at their newsletter usb support is one of the things that they are looking at working on.

[Gina]

Any advamce on this? Does anyone know? A link would be helpful - a search on USB seems to turn up pretty much everything but connecting to USB devices in Wine!

[Hugh Mulqueen]

any update on this? Apearently its possible with the patches there by Alexander Morozov applied; In the following website:

http://wiki.winehq.org/USB

Anybody give it a go? I'd imagine if you have to go into the wine registry and fix and apply patches it would be fairly difficult.

[-Ender]

I tried about a month ago, but unfortunately I couldn't get the patches to work.

Wonderful job. It works.

Was there anything special that you had to do to get it to work, or did you just follow those instructions verbatim?

Edit:
I saw that he modified the text files that need to be applied, but I can't download them as they don't seem to be up anymore. So, could you upload the copies of these two files since I can't access them:

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
cd ~/wine-git

sudo apt-get build-dep wine
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

git branch usb-1.1.28 wine-1.1.28
git checkout usb-1.1.28

./tools/make_makefiles
./configure
make depend
make
make install

That should work.

[nuffy]

Hi futaris,

I started to implement your instructions....everything was going fine until I entered 'git branch usb-1.1.28 wine-1.1.28' where I got this error message 'fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git'

Where has it gone wrong??

Thanx........nuffy

[tippitoes]

Hi nuffy,

I also followed futaris' instructions and had the same error message, but was able to proceed if I typed:

cd ~/wine-git

However, I got right through to the last command no problem, but for "make install" it spits out a whole page of stuff. One part being:

make [2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

And the last line being:

make: *** [dlls/_install_] Error 2

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

[muncy]

I got the same error as tippitoes when I put in the last line BUT when I put a usb device in now I get a D drive in wine. Open this and I can read what is on the device.

In other words. It works!

First off I have noticed that alot of people cannot get samsungs pc studio working in wine. I have it working it says pc studio 3 everything seems to work however i cannot connect to the phone due to you guessed it no usb support in wine. i tried the above all all went well till make this is the error i get

now i had a look around and i noticed the first error libusb.h someone mentioned that it is usb.h is the file it is looking for. I am still a newbie so sorry for any newbie errors i have made but could someone please help me out here i was exstaic to learn the program works when you make sure you download the one for xp it would be perfect if i could get usb support working in wine and delete winblows altogether this is the only thing stopping me. I still cannot get the sph-m540 working in linux but if the t456 works i can just transfer the memory card. thanks in advance.

[joeoshawa]

I really need this to work does anyone have any ideas please.

[joeoshawa]

Upgrade to ubuntu 10.4 haven't checked if wine works but when i plug the phone in it automatically connects and downloads all the pics. Seems 10.4 comes with a program that does it. Great job btw. Now if i could only get someone to respond to my postings life would be grand. At least a read your crappy posting you suck would be a responce.

[muncy]

Glad you got it sorted. I know it is frustrating when nobody replies to your post but I didn't want to get your hopes up by seeing that you had a reply then finding it just said 'Sorry - no idea'

[snnicky]

I tried update the patches made by Alexander Morozov for wine 1.1.28 to be applicable to wine 1.2 rc4. That compiles for me. Please try the patch http://snnicky.com/wine-1.2-rc4/0001-Add-support-of-native-Windows-drivers-for-USB-tokens.txt. I combined 2 Alexander's patches into one.

[Declan Moriarty]

I have Just installed Wine version 1.1.42 Beta on Ubuntu 10.04 and USB 2.0 works. I put a USB Stick in and it was assigned the G: drive and Notepad was able to access the files. I haven't done any patches to Wine.

Thank you all for the hints to get me where I needed to get (Wine with USB support). The notes below are based on building Wine on a virtual 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) system running in a VirtualBox session on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).


cd ~
mkdir wine-git
cd wine-git

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git .
git checkout wine-1.3.3
wget ftp://ftp.etersoft.ru/pub/people/amorozov/usb/1.3.3/*.txt
git am *.txt
You may have noticed that I skipped installing Ubuntu's libusb-1.0.0-dev package. I did this on purpose, since that package is old and does not work with Wine/USB patches provided by Alexander Morozov. Download the latest libusb package and build it from scratch:
mkdir ~/libusb
cd ~/libusb
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.8/libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2/download
tar jxvf libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2
cd libusb-1.0.8
./configure
./make
sudo ./make install
Create symbolic links for newly installed libusb:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libusb-1* /lib
Now you should be able to start building the Makefile for Wine:

cd ~/wine-git
./tools/make_makefiles
./configure
Verify that libusb is being used:

grep libusb config.log
..and now build Wine.

make depend && make
Enjoy!!!

A few minor corrections / spellings:
wget from sourceforge: remove the "/download" at the end. Else wget catches the wrong content.
"./make" should be "make"
libusb: no need to create symbolic links, they're already there.

Otherwise a nice guide. Thanks.

I hate to sound like a newbie but do I need to run a "make install" after MrVas's instructions? Or does the "make depend && make" command cover that?

[r2ramos]

Followed the instructions and installed the patched wine via playonlinux according to this (http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-2273-Custom_wine_version_a_PlayonLinux.html). POL recognizes the wine version (supposedly patched). Still dont know how to use usb; cant see the device im plugging with wine.

Any help?

[philnice]

I have compiled wine 1.3.10 with usb patches to use with my hercules mp3e2 console and still, i don't know how to check wether or not is working.
I beleive there are a few things to be done from this point, but for this we 'll need some help.
So, ubuntu gurus, bring the light to us..!

[marin123]

ok, so i followed build instructions (a bit altered) and successfully built wine 1.3.11 with usb patches.

the problem is that every time i run program in wine i get error message that wine failed to load Usbhub.sys, but i have the right path in registry and a file in c drive. i want to try load windows' usbhub.sys but i have 64 bit windows and get error message that 64 bit app cannot be loaded.

now i'm waiting for a friend to send me proper files and then i will see what happens.

after i get usbhub working, i will need to work on driver location for mass storage.

cross your fingers guys :) and i hope someone will get inspired by this and make something ridiculous, like making this to work :D

[philnice]

marin123, good luck! :D i only know a few things, perhaps you need to load 32bit version of the sys. file you need first? just a thought. Also, any suggestion, on a way to check if my installation is work or not? hercules mp3e2 does give me some error report in the log file viewer, but nothing from wine.
Lastly, getting this to work isn't an easy task. Otherwise, there would be packages precompiled for every wine version available. Many guys around here had put a lot of effort on this, but with no luck.
It is up to wine developers to finally deal with amorozov's patches or whatever, and add usb support. I think they keep rescheduling this.

[philnice]

Well, all of you who seeking for usb support in wine, may want to read the release criteria for version 1.4, and smile...! :D

i have already read that, but we will have to wait and see will it happen and will it work.

if it does, then:


sudo apt-get install wine1.4
sudo apt-get remove windows
:D

Seriously, perhaps this could be the main reason for any delays in wine - usb support...

(...)
./tools/make_makefiles
./configure
make depend
make
make installThat should work.

I have followed these and MrVas instructions (changes made for using USB 1.5.7 instead of 1.1.28 or 1.3.3) on a Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit system however when I run the make commands it says that there are no rules to build 'depend' nor a 'makefile'. I found a 'Makefile.in' but i?m not sure if it is enough to rename it.

[Chlewey]

Following an error message it seems my problem is that I have a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 system and wine should be compiled in 32 bits.

I followed instructions in http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit and built wine in a 32 bit chroot (applying the USB patches) and everything seemed to build okay.

I had to delete my .wine directory and reinstall my application. It installed okay.

However the problem persists: the application cannot find the USB ports.

My application is Full Gauge's SITRAD Local application ( http://www.sitrad.com/ ) connected to a Sitrad CONV32 RS485 to USB converter via a USB port.

It seems my better option right now is tu buy a MS Windows License.

Are you shure there are only Windows programs to connect your Microsoft Zune? Why you should support Linux:

Open Source often respects users freedom. How can this slow down development of software?
Or try Windows 8 Release Preview for free(?) from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/release-preview

I suggest to install VirtualBox:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox
I also recommend installing VirtualBox Extension Pack & Guest Additions.

[Chlewey]

Are you shure there are only Windows programs to connect your Microsoft Zune? No Zune. An industry propietary hardware for sensing enviromental variables in refrigeration and greenhouse industries.

Why you should support Linux:
I'd like Linux support however for several reasons including further development of the application. However I did not design their software. I have no access to source code and it seems that the vendor is not providing it. Our solution is still too small for getting them interested in sharing source code with us, and in the mean time we need to have a pilot running in production mode.

Cost is not a big issue (a rather have a fully licensed Win7 than a test licensed Win8 system if I cannot get it running on a really free environment)

The problem is that it seems to be too many small issues, and patches and modules that need to be installed first that I'm not sure that it is worth the trouble (for now).

I will spend another half day trying to get it work on a 32-bit Ubuntu with an USB-patched Wine.

No Zune. An industry propietary hardware for sensing enviromental variables in refrigeration and greenhouse industries.

I hope that my suggestions were helpful & not seen as giving you a hard time. I read an article: Windows 8 to Remove Zune Support (http://maketecheasier.com/windows-8-to-remove-zune-support/2012/02/27) To bad that USB support is still considered unfinished by the Wine developers, otherwise a Wine release with USB support could have made things much easier.

[Lyfang]

How experimental is the USB support implementation in Wine? Are the USB patches based on making Wine use the Windows API for USB support?

This apperas to be the reason...

And just for the record in Wine 1.4.1, Uub 12.04LTS: My jump drives and a USB device for the Dynam RC controller are recognized. However, a USB device with cord which connects my Spektrum RC controller to USB is not recognized under Wine which prevents using a simulator program called "Aerofly Professional". This program with the Spectrum controller and USB connector work just fine in XP.
