What is the advantage of using synaser over serial in a simple non-gui program running in the console in Linux?
I have been struggling making LazSerial work in a console app and been adviced to instead use synaser (which is what lazserial is built on). A few months back it seemingly started to work but with some "fixes". Yesterday I needed to quickly make a checkup tool for serial comm and this time (again) I was hit by the appearance of GUI errors. Don't remember how exactly I solved it last time... What I remembered was using widgetset nogui, but it seems impossible to get to such a setting in this simple program. And using 'interfaces' on the line preceding Lazserial was also a fix in the previous app but does not work now. So hence my question: Is there something bad about serial (built-in to fpc) that makes it unsuitable for use? Seems like there are virtually no posts describing solutions using serial... As it is built-in to fpc one would assume it is the preferred way, but for some reason it looks like it is not... (I am using fpc 3.0.4 + Lazarus 2.0.8 on a RaspberryPi (3 and 4)) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
