Hi all,

Has anyone successfully compiled the unix source code for tm4 (on Jim
Robertson's Newfound Electronics page) to run under FreeBSD?

There's some minor differences in the way *BSD handles the serial port when
compared to SysV/Linux and unfortunately this code is SysV-centric.

I've compiled tm4 on a linux machine and ran the binary on my FreeBSD
machine using the linux compat libraries, but this runs me into a different
problem with some run-time errors:

LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=3, typ=0x54(T), num=0x9 not implemented

The hardware i'm using is a Reaper with the latest firmware (thanks Jim!).
The FreeBSD 3.2 box is a Celeron 300A.  The same motherboard read/writes
16c84's fine using the Windoze WinTM4 software so it's not a hardware
compatibility issue.

I'd appreciate a nudge in the appropriate direction, otherwise i'll keep
plodding along.


Thanks,

Glen.
