open3600 compiled for RPi, but no output

Hi all.
I am setting up a WD system on a RPi, by using a Lacrosse 3600 station connected by a Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port USB converter.
The system (3600+USB converter) works when connected to a Windows machine by the Heavyweather package.
When connected to the Rpi, the Com port is recognized as /dev/ttyUSB0.
I changed the relevant settings in config.txt and in open3600.conf.
on launching consoled as root, I get the following:

Weather Display vers WD_console_10.4

Doing minute routine now
./fetch3600: 1: ./fetch3600: Syntax error: “(” unexpected
An unhandled exception occurred at $000EB5A4 :
EAccessViolation : Access violation
$000EB5A4

I realized that the version found here:

http://open3600.fast-mail.nl/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=34

is a generic “linux” version, and most probably is not able to run on a RPi, and explains the error I get.

UPDATE
It compiled by doing “make” in the source subdir.
The executables give no error, but no output at all.
The minute routine starts in consolewd, but after that nothing.
Maybe something wrong in the USB comport driver.

Thanks,

if you run open3600 as
./open3600 → outfile.txt
is that created?

the file created is empty.
Thanks anyway.

the 3600 station is not a very easy communication protocol
its very finicky
on timing , etc
and it needs DTR support, etc

The hardware (cable, Usb converter etc) worked in heavyweather, so it should be ok.
At the end, maybe it is too much struggle for a small result. I supposed (wrongly…) it would be easy.
Thanks anyway: will setup again some windows tiny machine for this.
Ciao, thanks

yes, but that is heavy weather running on windows
the raspberry pi usb driver is not the same as the windows usb driver for one thing
and then there is the different timing issues
