C problem

[Kevin Weddle]

I am using the Borland compiler and the examples don't seem to work. I make a call to a standard function in the correct header file and it says it doesn't exist. What could the problem be? I have had similar problems with serial communcations functions.

I have a theory as to why it does not work. I think my windowsXP does not support these functions. Could this be true?

I quiried another post to find out that many functions aren't supported by the WindowsOS. However, my compiler is compatible with earlier Windows versions. I guess I just needed to read my CD to find out. But I cannot believe that my functions don't work just because it's WindowsXP. I posted in this forum because I believe that the basis for microcontrollers is the programming. I need at least to use functions that will interface with the microcontroller through the parallel and serial port.

due to sequrities and protection you might face problames with windows xp and windows NT.this problame will not occure with windows 98.or if you want to work with windows xp and windows NT then ask the qustion in on-line help by microsoft their engg. will show you the way....ok

I think
your header file'route is wrong

hi,
can you send(post) the file that you have return so,the problame might be cleare.
=>one of the problame might be you have not saved the file with the extantion of *.c or *.cpp

Here is the example I can't get to work. What could the problem be?

rs232.txt

outportb doesnt work on XP
you need a kernal mode driver
do a search for "inpout32.dll"
hope this helps

Here is inpout and all the associated documentation in a zip file:

inpout32.zip

I need to know the process for serial communication under WindowsXP. I need to know what to include and what to load. I have the inpout/inpin files but I don't know if they are just for parallel port interfacing. Could somebody post the C code for please.
