Prerequisites

• Windows
• RXTXcomm.jar goes in \jre\lib\ext (under Program Files\java...)
• rxtxSerial.dll goes in \jre\bin (under Program Files\java...)
• MacOsX
• RXTXcomm.jar goes in /Library/Java/Extensions
• librxtxSerial.jnilib goes in /Library/Java/Extensions
• (There is a fixperm.sh with the original RXTX source. Fix perms is in the Mac_OS_X subdirectory)
• (There is an Installer with the original RXTX source)
• Linux
