This tip is for Linux, and is known to
work with Fedora Core 5 and 6, and Fedora 7, 8, 10, and 11. The latest tested version of the Galep32 application is 1.19.60.
Use Win98 as the template when
installing the galep32 application. Other templates (at least NT) can cause driver errors when galep32 starts up.
The GALEP-4 device programmer connects to the
parallel port, so a couple of steps are needed to set up the parallel
port before using it.
First, get into the registry editor, regedit:
% regedit --bottle bottle_name_where_you_installed_galep32
In regedit, you will need to add the following new key (by expanding the appropriate items, right clicking on "New -> Key", and adding the key "VDM"):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/VDM
Then, add another new key called "ppdev" under "VDM":
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/VDM/ppdev
Left click on the new "ppdev" key to select it. Then move to the right-hand window, which should only have just a "(Default)" entry in it, right click on "New -> String Value", and enter "378" as the name followed by a return.
Right click on the new "378" entry, select "Modify", and enter "/dev/parport0" for the value. When done, you should have this under the "ppdev" key:
Name Type
Data
378
REG_SZ /dev/parport0
That's it for the registry. This allows wine applications accessing I/O port 0x378 (which is the first parallel port) to be redirected to the unix device /dev/parport0.
Linux uses the ppdev driver to direct I/O associated with /dev/parport0 to the real parallel port. This driver must be either compiled into the kernel, or loaded as a module before wine starts.
If the module needs to be loaded this can be done at boot time in /etc/rc.local with a couple of lines:
modprobe
ppdev
chmod 666
/dev/parport0
(There are of course other ways to load it, and you can adjust the permissions to be something more restrictive as long as the user has read/write access to it.)
When galep32 starts it should immediately find and initialize the GALEP-4 programmer.
As of Crossover Standard 8.0.0 the emebdded help no longer works. This is annoying, but you can access the HTML files directly in ~/.cxoffice/BOTTLE/drive_c/Program Files/GALEP32/help/...
