Serial Support?

[Daniel Probst]

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Search for gpspoint on freshmeat.net, which is a GPS prog which makes
without problems under cygwin (however it doesn't yet support my Garmin
12Map yet). IO works, so check out the serial code in the sources.

BTW there is a wonderful GPS library under
ftp://ftp.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/pub/ajb/jeeps/

in this case I can't get the IO to work under cygwin.

I've fiddled with the sources and GDB but don't understand what is going
wrong there.
