Installation Instructions for Windows
|
|
*************************************
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling for MinGW or cygwin, please refer to the INSTALL file,
|
|
which is automatically generated by autotools (e.g. running bootstrap.sh).
|
|
|
|
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio:
|
|
- Open the relevant solution file in /msvc:
|
|
libusb_2013.sln for Visual Studio 2013,
|
|
libusb_2015.sln for Visual Studio 2015,
|
|
libusb_2017.sln for Visual Studio 2017,
|
|
libusb_2019.sln for Visual Studio 2019 or later.
|
|
- If you want to debug the library, uncomment the ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING define
|
|
in msvc\config.h
|
|
- Select your configuration and compile the project
|
|
|
|
Installing and building libusb via vcpkg
|
|
****************************************
|
|
|
|
You can download and install libusb using the vcpkg dependency manager:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
|
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
|
|
./vcpkg integrate install
|
|
vcpkg install libusb
|
|
|
|
The libusb port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and
|
|
community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue
|
|
or pull request (https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
|
|
|
|
Destination directories
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
The 32-bit binaries are placed in a Win32\ directory at the root of the
|
|
library.
|
|
The 64-bit binaries are placed in a x64\ directory.
|
|
|
|
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 the latest Windows
|
|
SDK.
