Bug 399003 – New Ebuild: sci-electronics/cdmm-0.3 - a console program to read data from RS232 Digital MultiMeters

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Richard Ash 2012-01-15 16:27:52 UTC]

The console part of the QTDMM2 package does not depend on QT other than running qmake, and provides a useful tool to read the bizarre data formats emitted by digital multi-meters with RS232 serial ports.

The package fails to build due to some missing includes, and does not have a make install target. This makes the ebuild slightly less than trivial.The associated patch has been sent upstream.

Reproducible: Always

patch to fix a bug with flow control lines

I found a bug which was causing the program not to set flow control correctly, which stopped my meter working because it powers the optoisolator from the flow control. Patch has been sent upstream.
