does not work with arm

The GUI works very well on my x86-64 Linux box, but it never successfully calls minipro in Raspbian Linux on a Raspberry Pi. We just fall off the end of the parser and get the command list again.

The minipro software itself had the same problem with the command line, apparently due to the fact that chars are signed in x86-64 GCC and unsigned in ARM GCC. Adding the compiler flag -fsigned-char to the makefile fixed the problem there, but the same treatment did not fix qtl866. I am not savvy enough in QT to fix the problem there. I suspect the longer term solution is to figure out /why/ minipro requires signed chars and fix that. Will investigate on that end. -JRS
