Thanks Gerrit, I got how to compile my program reading "README" file ;o). It needs use -lioperm flag ( On Linux it's -O2 for ioperm functions ) .
$ gcc -o io io.c -lioperm $./io Illegal instruction ( code dumped ) I don't know why it happens on Cygwin. On Linux the same code works fine ( below ). Maybe permission ( I'm using Windows XP SP2 )? I'm looking for it. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/io.h> int main( void ) { unsigned char Value; ioperm(0x378, 3, 1); Value = inb(0x378+1); ioperm(0x378, 3, 0); printf("Status Parallel Port -> 0x%x\n", Value ); return 0; } Best Regards, Douglas Schilling Landgraf > pppd wrote: > > > $ ioperm -i > > OpenSCManager function call failed. > > Error: ioperm.sys installation failed. > > > > and then.. > > > > $ ioperm.sys > > bash: /usr/bin/ioperm.sys: Permission denied > > > > Does anybody can help me ? > > From the website: > Install (activate) ioperm.sys driver using ioperm -i.
