Ok, had a go and it did compile something -there's some problems with
speed but it does work (sort of).

This may be due to my setup -I've really got little idea what I'm
doing when compiling this since the open3600 authors have disappeared,
and I've not done this before.
I'm using the FTDI usb-serial I mentioned before which adds another
potential issue c.f. a real serial port.

Installing mingw32 I've used: http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
then I installed:
MSYS-1.0.10.exe and installed it
gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar
mingw-utils-0.3.tar
w32api-3.6.tar
binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar
mingw-runtime-3.9.tar
-extracting them into the mingw directory of the file structure.

That seemed to cure the missing file problems when doing a make.
I'm thinking about adding mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.tar -but no idea what
that does for the environment.

When doing a make I get:

So, running 'log8610echo testwin.txt open8610.conf' with full debug I
get 'open_weatherstation' and the testwin.txt is made then about
2-3mins of almost nothing. It appears to wait a long time before doing
the Clear DTR. Then it slowly jumps through the Got DTS etc resulting in:
read_safe - two readings identical
0 additional sensor(s), record length is 10, max record count is 3266
Reading record 6 at 0xa0: 00 12 04 06 07 08 15 50 64 67
- I think there should be a line formatted as per the reading in the
file (which is the 'echo' part of this program - so there must be some
odd happening and its just working like log8610).

And a reading is dumped in the text file:
04/06 12:04:56 | Ti: 20.8 | Hi: 64 | To1: 20.1 | Ho1: 67 | To2: 52.5 |
Ho2: 7 | To3: -30.0 | Ho3: 0 | Mon Jun 04 12:00:00 2007
Which is correct and even adds new entries correctly on the next line.

Running in a DOS prompt (rather than mingW32 shell) it just seizes at
the Clear DTR, probably messing up the timing and corrupting the data
so that it says :
read_safe() error:Invalid argument. This is maybe from the compile errors.


Update: I tested it on a PC with a real COM1 serial port (no mingW32
install) and it works perfectly with no delays using the command
prompt and log8610echo reports correctly.

Checking the usb-serial issue on a fresh PC, using the FTDI usb-serial
it works fully again from DOS prompt -it does pause for a timed 2
minutes 10secs on the Clear DTR (when logging info at level 5).

I'll post my files up to the group and see if you or L can test and/or
make better sense of the compile errors/timings - but it works for me
and its even there for the USB serial too (but needs speed sorting)..
