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 )
