Hi ppl,
I am writing a program to control a microscope stage...
the original code is written in turbo pascal and I want to move it
all over to C.
The control is done via a serial port (but not in the original code -
there is a new piece of hardware here) so I am looking at using
(as seen in the newsgroups) svasync or bcserio or dzcomm.
I have read some intro. stuff for all of the above and tried a few
things here and there, but it looks like dzcomm may be the most mature of these
products.
It depends on allegro in some way...
Great. I like allegro.
Only thing is .. I reall y really really detest booting into win95 :P
blegh
I installed djgpp as a cross compiled gcc and binutils so I could avoid
the "w" word.
Unfortunately the makefile for allegro is very very much DOS'ified.
Has anyone made this library on linux using a cross-gcc before ?
If so could ya would ya point me to a patch or two to make
it more linux friendly ?
I am not trying to use allegro on linux, only link with the libs on
linux. I suppose I could build it on dos and then use the libs on
linux... but I was hoping to be able to build it on linux as well :)
Thankyou,
Peter ( watch that from header it's anti-spammed )
