Cool thanks this seems to work as I can see my IR port trying to connect to
my IR on my mobile but the problem is I keep getting '/dev/com4: Permission
denied' when I'm running my code. If these are virtual links, how can I
look at changing the permissions on them ?

Paul

Cygwin has pseudo /dev directory, the device name mapping is
/dev/ttyS0 - com1
/dev/ttyS1 - com2
/dev/ttyS2 - com3
/dev/ttyS3 - com4

You can use both unix and windows device names to open a com port, ie
fopen("/dev/ttyS0") and fopen("com1") do the same, but I suggest you to
use unix-like names.
