append this to winserial.c:

GSM_Error serial_nreceived(int fd, int *n)
{
        return GE_NONE;
}

GSM_Error serial_flush(int fd)
{
        return GE_NONE;
}

Of course this is a hack, but it seems to work ok.

This is not a standard autoconf feature. Normally, you configure the
destination directory as an option to ./configure (ie
./configure --prefix=/my/inst/dir/path).

Currently, if DESTDIR is not defined, install attempts to install the files
in "//usr/local/bin", which is an invalid path. This is because DESTDIR =
"", and libdir = /usr/local/bin, so the expression $(DESTDIR)/${libdir} is
incorrect (containing two slashes).  I've never seen this DESTDIR method
before, and it currently does not work with cygwin.
