Mac or Wine (Linux)

[mlewus]

I expect a Mac port is unlikely. Rather than a native port, has anyone tried to use ioSender with Wine on Mac or Linux?

just tried it on debian - no success.

In a wineprefix with dotnet452, it keeps throwing until stack overflow:
wine: Call from 0x7bc53069 to unimplemented function MSVCR100_CLR0400.dll._except_handler4_common, aborting

In a wineprefix with dotnet35sp1 it says skd like "unable to find a version of the runtime"

I messed with IOSender and Wine a fair amount with no success.

Since I'm still interested in getting IOSender running on Linux I started working on a direct port of it last winter. I made a fair amount of progress but there is still a ways to go before it's generally usable. This winter I plan on starting work on it again, so hopefully there will be something to play with eventually.

Sounds good. I will be happy to test. Especially interested in it running on a RasPi

[cbaugher]

Yes, that is exactly my use case. A pi based lathe and milling machine controller.

Honestly I could really use some help with the development since I'm not a Windows developer. I've been doing embedded stuff for a good while but C#/GIU programming is a completely different thing. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concepts sometimes.

There are several other threads in this section about porting to Linux. You might find several kindred souls to help you. It's not an easy task but definitely worthwhile.

I use IOSender on my Mac via Parallels wich works fine
