I believe it should still work with latest MinGW.org toolchain. If not, please let me know. I have some problems with the later version of MinGW.org and I think it is not as stable. The reason I use this old setup is also due to the fact I can build everything libftdi offers (including the test program using Boost Unit Testing Framework) under Windows. I am lazy to build Boost again myself and the other ready-made Boost binary seems to fail to build the test program somehow. Tools used to build this package: CMake 2.8.10.2: http://www.cmake.org/ MinGW GCC 4.7.2 : http://www.mingw.org Boost 1.49 (build from source): http://www.boost.org Python 2.7.3: http://www.python.org swig 2.09: http://www.swig.org/ doxygen 1.8.3: http://www.doxygen.org/ libconfuse 2.7: http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/ pkg-config lite 0.28_1 :http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/ Boost building reference: http://code-slim-jim.blogspot.sg/2012/04/boost-149-in-windows-7-using-mingw.html The trend seems to go for MinGW-w64 project under Windows, especially the MSYS2 distribution. I will build 32/64bit Windows binary for MSYS2 when I have some time. I remember I can build almost everything except the test program with MinGW-w64 (which seems to have linking problem). -- Xiaofan -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
