NOTE: DirectSOFT version 4 is a new major release of the software. This service pack download will not upgrade v3.x installations to v4.0. Users of v3.x who wish to upgrade to version 4 must purchase an upgrade (part number PC-R40-U). View the Readme file for information about changes in this version. Automation Direct's DirectSOFT5 programming software has a Tip of the Day feature. It has two serial ports, each can be configured independently.
Hello all, I'm trying to run Automation Direct's DirectSoft 5 PLC software under WINE.
Here's what I'm running:
Lenovo ThinkPad T61 Laptop
Linux Distro: Debian Squeeze 6.05
Wine v1.01
Direct Logic 05 #D0-05DR
Serial Communication
I am aware of the compatibility list for DirectSoft 5 and Automation Direct software. I am capable of running the software in virtual box but that just brings me back to the frustration of window’s.
I can successfully run the software in wine if I adjust the DS500.ini COM*ENABLE= to 0’s. I have tried linking the ttyS0 to com2 (symbolically) with the COM2ENABLE=1 in the .ini and the program hangs. I've also tried Wine v1.4 and have the same issues.

Link code:
I have also changed the permissions of ttyS0 to 0644 with:
Code: Select all
And the program starts, and runs but will not communicate with the PLC. I am running OP-WINEDIT Optimate configuration software just fine in wine with com2 linked to ttyS0. Can anybody throw me a bone on what else I could try?
Thanks in Advance.
