Serialport crashes Shoes

[ds1982]

Hi,

in my App i need to use the Ruby Serialport (http://ruby-serialport.rubyforge.org/).
Just the line "require 'serielport' "crashes Shoes with a Runtime Error.

Any Ideas?

The problem is that serialport is written as a C extension, and so the only way to get it to work currently is to build your own custom Shoes.

Sorry about that! Crashing is also degenerate behavior. I'm going to leave the ticket open, because we should at least not do that, that's kind of excessive.

is there another way to use a com-Port in Shoes without the Serialport-Extension?

I personally am not super familliar. Maybe someone else will know? I don't do work with serial ports.
