[OpenOCD-devel] Build OpenOCD on Windows

[陳韋任 <che...@g2...>]

Hi All,

  I have added hidapi library in Cygwin (cygwin/mingw i686/x86_64 version),
and I think it would be much easier to build openocd on Windows.

Here is the build flow:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. install cygwin 64 bit
    * http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

2. run setup-x86_64.exe to install the following packages:
    * make
    * gcc-core
    * mingw64-x86-64-pkg-config
    * mingw64-x86-64-gcc-core
    * mingw64-x86-64-hidapi

3. unzip openocd-0.8.0.tar.gz into your cygwin home directory
   (C:\cygwin64\home\$(USER))

4. launch Cygwin64 Terminal

    $ mkdir install build
    $ cd build
    $ ../openocd-0.8.0/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--prefix=$HOME/install
    $ make; make install

5. copy libhidapi-0.dll to the install directory

    $ cd $HOME/install
    $ cp /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libhidapi-0.dll .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Note that if you want to build cygwin or mingw64-i686 version
openocd, you should install
corresponding pkg-config/gcc-core/hidapi, and adjust the "--host" option.

  If you want to link openocd with libusb, mingw i686/x86_64 libusb
can be found by adding
cygwinports [1] mirror.

  Have fun. :-)
