 Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 7:56 pm Post subject: Using COM ports in crossover's wine |
 |
|
| I've installed MS Streets & Trips 2005 under Crossover's Wine. It runs fine, but I would also like to be able to use my GPS (which connects to /dev/tts/USB0). Streets & Trips looks for a connection on any COM port between 1-20. Is there any way that I can make COM x be mapped to tts/USB0? |

| Adding "ComX" = "/dev/tts/USB0" to the [serialports] section in crossovers config file should work. |

In all of my cxoffice.conf files, there was no [serialports] section, so I added the following to the conf file:
[serialports]
"Com3" = "/dev/tts/USB0"
Unfortunatly this didn't work.  |

| cxoffice.conf is not the file I meant. The file you want to modify is the wine config file. On my system it's "~/.cxoffice/dotwine/config" Sorry I wasn't more specific. |

I was able to get it working - thank you for your help 
I actually had to do this:
ln -s /dev/tts/USB0 ~/.cxoffice/dosdevices/com1
Of course Streets and Trips doesn't want to cooperate, but this is closer then I was to having it working before |
