Re: 1.5.18 ( 0.132/4/2 ) - ioperm - OpenSCManager failed


Thanks Gerrit, I got how to compile my program reading "README" file ;o).
It needs use -lioperm flag ( On Linux it's -O2 for ioperm functions ) .  

$ gcc -o io io.c -lioperm
$./io
Illegal instruction ( code dumped )

I don't know why it happens on Cygwin. On Linux the same code works fine ( below ).

Maybe permission ( I'm using Windows XP SP2 )? I'm looking for it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/io.h>

int main( void ) {

unsigned char Value;

    ioperm(0x378, 3, 1);
    Value = inb(0x378+1);
    ioperm(0x378, 3, 0);

    printf("Status Parallel Port -> 0x%x\n", Value );

	return 0;

}
