#165 POSIX(/Linux) directserial Implementation
Hi,
I implemented a POSIX (should be POSIX conform I hope,
had just the chance to test it under Linux atm though)
implementation for the directserial stuff. It works
pretty well with Settlers 2 (hadn't enough
time/motivation to try another game).
Things TODO:
- adds checks in configure script to enable it (atm it
needs to be enabled in the config.h file directly,
since I have no knowledge about autoconf maybe someone
could do this)
- implement the missing parity settings
- maybe rework 'realport' setting to use
devicefilenames (see later)
I add a tar file which needs to be extracted in the
dosbox root dir, after that cd to the src dir and apply
the directserial_posix_v1.patch. To setup the
directserial do: "serial1=directserial realport:0" in
[serial] there realport:0 stands for /dev/ttyS0,
realport:1 for /dev/ttyS1 and so on. (could be changed,
the problem atm is that the config parser seems only to
return uppercase filenames).

patch. (apply it again to a clean cvs checkout)

I'm not fond of the non-default copyright line.
It may be standard in other GPL projects, but not in dosbox.
