Now I am searching for serial rs232 in c++. I found many things, but in fact, nothing ready for my use.
All I know yet is that I want to develop under Netbeans and use c++. If it is possible I want a code that can be compiled both under windows and linux. It is required that I do develop under windows XP, no more win 98 (no more inport and outport, from dos.h).
I do read many many things about inport and outport and some sites says that inport and outport do only work for win98, they are "old". The codes that I see(the ones using inport and outport) seems easy to understand.
And my question is: What is the modern way to led with serial port? What is the library that I need to use. What are the "new" commands similar to inport and outport and what is the similar to "dos.h"?
It is easy to develop to serial port under linux? I am a Slackware user, so linux is not a problem to me.
