I have been trying to get into C/C++ programming for a while on MorphOS, over the last few weeks I have installed the SDK and started to play around.
To compile the classic “Hello, World!” I use “gcc -o hello hello.c”
To compile an MUI based app I use “gcc -noixemul -o muicode muicode.c”
That all compiles OK.
I would like to use a USB to serial adapter cable (Prolific PL2303) to connect to a microcontroller. I have looked at the example from the SDK (Examples/Device/Serial). What is the correct way to compile this code? And how do I specify I am using the “serialpl2303.device”? I’m not sure about make files, is it just the case to “cd” to the folder and run the “make” command?
Below shows the output I get: -
Code:
System:Development/Examples/Device/Serial> make
ppc-morphos-gcc '-DDEVNAME="serial.device"' -O2 -mcpu=604e -c -o serial.o serial.c

I have not done much C/C++ programming, just some Arduino/PlatformIO & Python. My main hope is to write a very simple bit of test code (and compile) that will send out and receive over a USB serial port.
I have used Term to confirm the cable is working.
MorphOS = 3.14
gcc = 9.3.0
Any help will be appreciated, thanks,
Paul
