#NetBSD people! I need some help. (EDIT: Answer found! Thank you, @kaveman !)

I'm trying to update the port of an old piece of software (#plptools), but I'm having issues with linking it to readline.

It's detecting libedit first, even though FSF readline is installed. The following does nothing:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include/readline/" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib/" ./configure

Adding LIBS="-lreadline" throws an error early on in ./configure, saying that it can't find libreadline.so.8.

Do you have any advice at all?

The GitHub issue is here: github.com/plptools/plptools/i

#HaikuOS users with USB RS232 adapters! I need some help.

I'm trying to get an old piece of software working with Haiku that uses serial comms (see #plptools). I'm having some issues with DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS checking and setting, but it would be great if someone else can check my findings.

See this link for more information on my tests and results: discuss.haiku-os.org/t/porting

Are you able to replicate what I'm seeing?

Haiku Community · Porting plptools to HaikuSo, I’ve done a bit of testing to work out what’s going on with Haiku and RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR. This bit of C code (based on this code) checks RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR every second, toggling RTS and DTR between checks. On Linux using both the Prolific TA adapter and the FTDI FT232 adapter, I get the following output when plugged into the test Psion Series 3c which is setting DTR and CTS high: DTR:1 DSR:1 RTS:1 CTS:1 DTR:0 DSR:1 RTS:0 CTS:1 DTR:1 DSR:1 RTS:1 CTS:1 DTR:0 DSR:1 RTS:0 CTS:1 DTR:1 DSR:1 RTS:1 C...

Current main projects:

  • #plptools: Resurrecting old ports (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD) and working on a new port to #HaikuOS. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.

Upcoming projects:

  • #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
  • Get my website running #GoHugo.
  • Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with #FreeBSD. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)
  • Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)
  • Add a 17V boost converter to #PsiDrive.
  • Make #fefstool create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)

You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.
