1 Building OpenOCD for Windows
2 ----------------------------
4 You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW-w64/MSYS
5 or Cygwin (plain MinGW might work with --disable-werror but is not
6 recommended as it doesn't provide enough C99 compatibility).
7 Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW-w64 on a *nix
8 host. See README for the generic instructions.
10 Native MinGW-w64/MSYS compilation
11 -----------------------------
13 As MSYS doesn't come with pkg-config pre-installed, you need to add it
14 manually. The easiest way to do that is to download pkg-config-lite
17 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/
19 Then simply unzip the archive to the root directory of your MinGW-w64
25 You usually need to have WinUSB.sys (or libusbK.sys) driver installed
26 for a USB-based adapter. Some vendor software (e.g. for ST-LINKv2)
27 does it on its own. For the other cases the easiest way to assign
28 WinUSB to a device is to use the latest Zadig installer:
32 For the old drivers that use libusb-0.1 API you might need to link
33 against libusb-win32 headers and install the corresponding driver with
36 If you need to use the same adapter with other applications that may
37 require another driver, a solution for Windows Vista and above is to
38 activate the IgnoreHWSerNum registry setting for the USB device.
40 That setting forces Windows to associate the driver per port instead of
41 per serial number, the same behaviour as when the device does not contain
42 a serial number. So different drivers can be installed for the adapter on
43 different ports and you just need to plug the adapter into the correct
44 port depending on which application to use.
