> I tried compiling your AMSerialPort Example but it won't build
I guess you downloaded the archive from the Cocoa code page? I'm afraid that's not up to date. Instead get the current version from sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/amserial/
I'll fix the download link to point to the sourceforge archive.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Andreas,

I tried compiling your AMSerialPort Example but it won't build on my 27" mid 2009 i7 iMac running 10.7.3.

I am getting:
The run destination My Mac 64-bit is not valid for Running the scheme 'AMSerialTest'.
The scheme 'AMSerialTest' contains no buildables that can be built for the SDKs supported by the run destination My Mac 64-bit. Make sure your targets all specify SDKs that are supported by this version of Xcode.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Christoph

Hello Andreas. I have a project with ARC and currently trying to include AMSerialPort. Can you provide ARC version or should I use second option you mentioned?

Since ARC does only apply to Objective-C objects and everything else is the same as with manual memory management, I think the __strong specifier has no use in this case. Those memory blocks have to be explicitly freed in dealloc under ARC.

Another option would be to just compile AMSerial without ARC. You can add compiler flags to any file in the target's Build Phases settings under Compile Sources. I'm working on a version compatible with ARC at the moment, so if you can wait a few days, that might be the easiest solution.

I'm trying to use the AMSerialPort in a project with ARC. It works fine, but I get lots of warnings from Clang about the __strong keyword in AMSerialPort.h. Clang seems to think "strong" is exclusive for Objective C types and not C structs.

A way around this is to surround the code with

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wall"

<code>

#pragma clang diagnostic pop

But maybe the __strong keyword is superfluous here? I'm not that familiar with strong C types.
