Currently the dive computer backends are responsible for opening (and closing) the underlying I/O stream internally. The consequence is that each backend is hardwired to a specific transport type (e.g. serial, irda or usbhid). In order to remove this dependency and support more than one transport type in the same backend, the opening (and closing) of the I/O stream is moved to the application. The dc_device_open() function is modified to accept a pointer to the I/O stream, instead of a string with the device node (which only makes sense for serial communication). The dive computer backends only depend on the common I/O interface.
Overview ======== Libdivecomputer is a cross-platform and open source library for communication with dive computers from various manufacturers. The official web site is: http://www.libdivecomputer.org/ The sourceforge project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdivecomputer/ Installation ============ On UNIX-like systems (including Linux, Mac OS X, MinGW), use the autotools based build system. Run the following commands from the top directory (containing this file) to configure, build and install the library and utilities: $ ./configure $ make $ make install If you downloaded the libdivecomputer source code directly from the git source code repository, then you need to create the configure script as the first step: $ autoreconf --install To uninstall libdivecomputer again, run: $ make uninstall Support ======= Please send bug reports, feedback or questions to the mailing list: http://libdivecomputer.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel or contact me directly: jef@libdivecomputer.org License ======= Libdivecomputer is free software, released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
