Disregard, got it sorted. What I ended up doing was installing bash4, compiling with that, and copying the resulting executable to /usr/bin.
Thanks, I can use it, I'll work on it and see what's up with it. From Geany, it should be using the executable in /usr/bin, right? Edit: Using the terminal in /usr/share/bacon, which has the executable you supplied, with the command line bacon bacongui.bac, it still gives the same message, that it choked on the extract command. Hmmm. Edit 2: Well now I'm confused. With a terminal open in usr/share/bacon, invoking bacon -v returns version 1 build 29. The executable shows today's date and a file size of 401K. Man I hate being such a noob. |

Hi, 2 years ago I used BaCon with a FTDI USB device, and got help making this work. Since the FTDI USB device was not part of the kernel, I need an extra library, but in the end, all seemed to work. Now I am facing something more simple, but that made it even more confusing.... I want to do serial communication using a USB-RS232 converter with a PL2303 chip. On both Slacko 5.3.3 (BaCon 1.0) as well as Precise 5.7.1 (BaCon 2.x) this registers nicely, and I see kernel modules usbserial.ko and PL2303.ko loaded. The device is connected at /dev/ttyUSB0. This is all perfect. Aint-it ? But how do I access it from BaCon ??? What header file do I need to include ? On none at all ? Any suggestion is welcome. I included both BaCon versions, since the new BaCon 2.x may have better (different) support for (usb) serial devices. In the documentation however I still could not find an "OPEN COMx" basic statement. Since the serial port is far from dead in embedded systems (*), I can imagine support in BaCon is added. Volhout (*)= Microsoft removed hyperterminal from W7 (COM=dead?), but that contradicts with languages like python that have support (very simple to use .. compliments). |

Hi Volhout; I`m almost certain I saw some code for serial ports at the BaCon forum. The problem is finding it. Like some Puppy forum threads it`s impossible to find anything. So unfortunately this valuable info. gets lost virtually for ever. I`ve been commenting elsewhere about the loss of code and folks efforts... I`ll keep an eye open and let you know if I find it. Ask at the BaCon forum: http://basic-converter.proboards.com/ . |
