Question on Modifications Needed for OpenBSD Support

[Koriel]

I'm currently in the process of try to get CLion debugging to work on OpenBSD; starting with modifying and testing JTermio/PureJavaComms to work with OpenBSD. I've noticed that pty4j has several files with JNA/Makefile that indicate some plans were made for OpenBSD, but the .so file is missing in the repository. Would adding that support simply be compiling the OpenBSD files and remaking the .jar file or is there more extensive modification that needs to be done?

• Thanks!, Michael

@Koriel ... sorry for the delay. Likely, yes, compiling the OpenBSD files is enough. We don't test this library on OpenBSD, so I can't guarantee it will work. Please let me know if you managed to make it working. Pull requests regarding BSD support are welcome.

@segrey I compiled it successfully, but I am getting an error (in Termios) when I debug in CLion, so I am going to test/debug both and make any necessary changes. I'll make a pull request when I get done with it. Thank you!

Hi Koriel! I'm working on this too. Here is what I've done: https://github.com/nicholasburn/pty4j/tree/devel
libs/purejavacomm.jar comes from here: https://github.com/nicholasburn/purejavacomm
Have you managed to make it work too?
