Hi,

I have a C++ program using select() to read data from a serial port
with a QT package. It runs fine in a linux system, but could not run
on a window system with a pre-installed minGW. I have zero experience
on window program environment and I am new to cygwin. I guess that
select() is not supported by the window, nor by minGW. I am going to
replace minGW by cygwin. Will cygwin support select() in a fiile
system to read data from a serial port? In cygwin, can I keep native
read() and write() system call to a serial port file descriptor, or I
should change them to window ReadFile() and WriteFile()?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jim
