Connectivity kit under Wine

[ColinJDenman]

Has anyone got a working CK linking to a real Prime (not the PC prog) under Wine on Linux?

If so could you impart a few words of advice.

He certainly already did, Mickaël. But the thing is:
* standard versions of Wine do not implement an USB stack;
* the third-party patch for adding some USB support (with limited functionality and reliability, probably) under Wine has been unmaintained for more than a year and a half.
IOW, basically, the HPCK won't work under Wine

Colin: you can use my third-party libhpcalcs for communicating with your Prime under Linux, MacOS X, Windows (and normally FreeBSD, but several weeks ago, the external USB library didn't build on FreeBSD 10.0) through a teminal-based UI: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-52.html
For clear portability, interoperability and footprint reasons, it's written in plain C, and it's designed for being a building block for both TUIs and GUIs, like its model libti* for TI calculators.
