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 libusb.dsw for MSVC6, libusb.sln for Visual
|
|
Studio 2005 or later (you will go through a short conversion process if using
|
|
2008)
|
|
- If you want to debug the library, uncomment the ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING define
|
|
in config.h
|
|
- Select your configuration and compile the project
|
|
|
|
Note that if you are using Visual Studio Express, you will not 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 config.h
|
|
- Open one of the relevant Free Build or Checked Build prompt for your target
|
|
platform
|
|
- Navigate to the root directory of the distribution, 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'
|
|
|
|
Note that using the Windows DDK, it is possible to compile both the 32 and 64
|
|
bit versions of the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
If the compilation process complains about missing libraries, you need to ensure
|
|
that the default library paths for your project point to a directory that
|
|
contains setupapi.lib and ole32.lib.
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
The 64 bit version of the library has been tested at least as much as the 32 bit
|
|
version during development. Same goes for Windows 7 vs Vista/XP.
|
|
Therefore we do not expect specific issues related to using these targets with
|
|
libusb.
