Hi All,
I have just been informed by one of my contacts that this discussion about Winscard has started. As the original author of Winscard for Wine, I'd like to inform you that I have already posted a fully functional Winscard patch for Wine on April 2007. Here is the link to it :
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-April/056432.html
Afterwards, my complete patch was not accepted because I was relying on the fact that alignment of the Winscard structures coming from the WIN32 world is the same as the alignment expected by pcsclite on the system on which Wine is running. My assumption is true for Linux 32Bit but I clearly can't guarantee that on other platforms.
Anyway, my implementation is running production systems on two of my customers under Linux 32bit (Ubuntu, CCID readers) and it has been tested by many users who contacted me directly to provide them with the full featured winscard version. For that, I distribute the winscard binary for 32-bit Linux systems under the following link :
http://www.idrix.fr/Root/SCard4Wine/winscard.tar.gz
I think it would be more efficient if your effort can benefit from my patch and all the experience I have put on it. The source from my side has evolved a little bit but it remains close to the original posting. I hope there will room for collaboration of this to provide a maximum number of Wine users with smart cards functionalities.

Thanks ... I am going to have a deep look into your sources.

Hi Mounir,
this morning I have found spare time to do a quick check of the winscard.dll.so you provided.
So on my 64Bit AMD64 system your .so works fine so far. Maybe we can address the structure alignment problem during the next weeks/months? Let us see ...
One thing: while /usr/sbin/testpcsc correctly states that I have two Omnikey 3121 (one with serial number, one without) attached to my machine my Windows application shows only one. Maybe my (intended) fault: I have to look at the source code of my app at work (just have the binary here at home) next week whether I have a check inside for an existing smartcard reader serial number. Maybe I omit readers without a serial number ... I am coming back next week.
I would be very lucky to have winscard support officially integrated into HEAD. One step further towards not needing Windows anymore to test my application ...
Another interesting thing for me: accessing a Windows machine A using RDP from a machine B makes the readers at A unavailable. That's something not happening when using X11 as the access protocol.
Next thing: when I am locally logged into a Windows machine other users/services do not have smartcard access anymore.
Both problems are really annoying for me ... so you see my motivation to get this stuff up and running.
Regards Heiko
