I haved a debugging tool program created on Windows and I am orting it to Linux Ubuntu. It seems to build just fine except for a combobox fill function which uses the Windows way of populating the selectoer box with the serial ports available on the system. This is the code I use on Windows:
function THanSimulatorMain.ListSerialPorts(LS: TStrings): integer; var I:integer; {$ifdef MSWINDOWS} Reg:tregistry; {$endif} begin {$ifdef MSWINDOWS} //List available serial ports on Windows: Reg := TRegistry.Create; try Reg.RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; if Reg.OpenKeyReadOnly('HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM') then begin LS.Clear; Reg.GetValueNames(LS); for I := 0 to LS.Count - 1 do LS[i] := Reg.ReadString(LS[i]); end; Result := LS.Count; finally Reg.Free; end; {$endif} {$ifdef UNIX} //List available serial ports on Linux: //What do I put here? {$endif} end; I have looked at /dev/tty* but it lists a large number of items which makes it impossible for me. I do not belive all of´them are real serial ports... What can I do to get a selector for real serial ports on Ubuntu. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
