The operations that are supported are:
- Port enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system).
-- Obtaining port metadata (USB VID:PID, manufacturer and product name, etc).
+- Obtaining port metadata (USB device information, Bluetooth address, etc).
- Opening and closing ports.
- Setting port parameters (baud rate, parity, etc).
- Reading, writing and flushing data.
The library should build and work on any Windows or Unix-based system. If it
does not, please submit a bug.
-Enumeration is currently only implemented on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. On
-other systems enumeration is not supported, but ports can still be opened by
-name and then used.
+Enumeration is currently implemented on Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Linux.
+On other systems enumeration is not supported, but ports can still be opened
+by name and then used.
If you know how to enumerate available ports on another OS, please submit a bug
with this information, or better still a patch implementing it.
========
The package uses a GNU style build system and requires a Unix style shell.
-On Windows it can be built with the MinGW toolchain and MSYS environment.
+
+Windows builds can be created natively with the MinGW-w64 toolchain and
+MSYS2 environment, or cross-compiled using a MinGW-w64 toolchain:
+
+ http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
+
+The "old" MinGW from http://mingw.org/ is not supported.
Run "./autogen.sh" to generate the build system, "./configure" to setup, then
"make" to build the library and "make install" to install it.
