Installation Instructions for Windows
|
|
*************************************
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling for MinGW or cygwin, please refer to the INSTALL file.
|
|
|
|
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio:
|
|
- Open the relevant solution file in /msvc:
|
|
libusb.dsw for MSVC6, libusb_2005.sln for Visual Studio 2005 or 2008,
|
|
libusb_2010.sln for Visual Studio 2010,
|
|
libusb_2012.sln for Visual Studio 2012 or later,
|
|
libusb_wince.sln for Windows CE support in Visual Studio 2005.
|
|
- If you want to debug the library, uncomment the ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING define
|
|
in msvc\config.h
|
|
- Select your configuration and compile the project
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are using Visual Studio Express, you may have to install the
|
|
Windows SDK to be able to compile the 64 bit version of the library.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the freely available Windows DDK/WDK (Driver Development Kit)
|
|
- If you want to debug the library, uncomment the ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING define
|
|
in msvc\config.h
|
|
- Open one of the relevant Free Build or Checked Build prompt for your target
|
|
platform
|
|
- Navigate to the msvc\ directory where the ddk_build.cmd file is located, and
|
|
run 'ddk_build'
|
|
- To produce a DLL rather than a static library, use: 'ddk_build DLL'
|
|
- To produce a static library that uses LIBCMT[d] instead of MSVCRT[d] (/MT[d]
|
|
vs /MD[d] in Visual Studio) use: 'ddk_build /MT'
|
|
|
|
Note that using the Windows DDK, it is possible to compile both the 32 and 64
|
|
bit versions of the library.
|
|
|
|
If you are building for Windows CE then you will need the Windows CE Standard 5.00 SDK.
|
|
|
|
Destination directories
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
The 32 bit binaries compiled either from Visual Studio or the DDK are placed in
|
|
a Win32\ directory at the root of the library
|
|
The 64 bit binaries are placed in an x64\ directory
|
|
Windows CE binaries are placed in one of the following directories, depending
|
|
on the target processor: ARMV4I, MIPSII, MIPSII_FP, MIPSIV, MIPSIV_FP, SH4 or x86.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
If the compilation process complains about missing libraries, ensure that the
|
|
default library paths for your project points to the relevant directories.
|
|
If needed, these libraries can be obtained by installing either the latest
|
|
Windows SDK or the DDK (Links provided at the end of this file).
|
|
|
|
For Windows CE it is necessary to install the CE USB Kernel Wrapper driver for
|
|
libusb to function on a device.
