From: ahinds AT dnai DOT com (Alexander Hinds) Subject: "Unofficial " release of PilotUnix GNU/Cygnus WIN32 Port v0.8.6 13 Oct 1997 03:46:13 -0700 Message-ID: <01bcd7c1$b6ad1e30$0a0a0a0a.cygnus.gnu-win32@ahinds> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "Kenneth Albanowski" Cc: , I've put a functioning, albeit hacked version of my port of pilot-unix 0.8.6 to WindowsNT on Stingersoft and PilotGear. All flames, hate-mail, etc to me: ahinds AT dnai DOT com PS. If somebody could figure out why anthing lower or higher than 9600 baud doesn't work I'd be ecstatic. I've tried to no avail, and even looked at the GDB sources for clues... README as follows: ---------------------------- This is a first attempt at a port of the pilot-unix suite to cygnus' GNU WIN32 suite for 95/NT. Most of the programs seem to work, including: pilot-xfer: useful for making complete backups pilot-mail: retreives email from pop server to pilot mail app (haven't tried sending, but it should work if you use a command-line sendmail for NT) pilot-file They have only been tested on NT, and obviously need cygnus' (b18!!) libraries to be installed to run (see http://www.cygnus.com ). Things to note: 1. Communication only works at 9600 baud. I have no idea why and I've spent considerable time futzing; I know very little about terminal i/o under unix, and even less under NT. 2. I had to hack the original configure script a bit and the generated makefile. Since I don't know much about configure, I haven't attempted to reintegrate my changes...so getting here from there may not be a slam-dunk. Sorry. 3. Modified files have corresponding "orig"'s. I added a compiler def: "GNUWIN32" to mark off windows specific regions. 4. Serial i/o didn't work when linked against Sergey's modified cygnus libs. I've been meaning to spend more time with this but carpal tunnel is getting to me, and I didn't want what little progress I'd made sit here indefinitely as what there is may be useful to others. Many thanks to Kenneth and pilot-unix community for the *awesome* tools. If I can be of further assistance in this endeavor to anyone, please let me know! Send comments and flames to: Alexander S.
