Reading data from ttyS fails

[thunderboy42]

Hello Corinna,

I used a part from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Serial_Programming/termios for
testting because my 'original' is a little bit complicated. (see the source at
the end)

But I think I found the problem in "fhandler_serial.cc". There was some code
added for leaving the method raw_read when there are no more chars received
and the serial port was opened in non blocking mode (code starting at line
86). But I think it would be a good idea to deliver the chars received until
then, so I build my own cygwin1.dll with the following changes in
fhandler_serial.cc: 

88,94c88
-             PurgeComm (get_handle (), PURGE_RXABORT);
-             if (tot == 0)
-               {
-                 tot = -1;
-                 set_errno (EAGAIN);
-               }
-             goto out;
---
+               break;

This works for me now.

Thanks, T.B.

        }

        close(tty_fd);
}
