Hello, With the intention of providing windows users with a straightforward way to install (and self-compile when needed) OpenOCD, I've contacted MSYS2 developers and they were kind enough to fix and upstream PKGBUILDs for OpenOCD, libusb-1.0 and libusb-compat (based on the work by Andrew Leech). BTW, a patch to libusb-compat would be nice to have upstreamed.
The feedback so far was very positive, MSYS2 seems to become the package management system that was really missing on windows. A number of high-profile projects (including Qt) is already supported. Please see http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/2507/ for the documentation changes I propose. There's one problem left though, where the OpenOCD project will need your hand: currently MSYS2 is lacking a PKGBUILD for libftdi1. Creating one should be straightforward considering libftdi has no obscure dependencies and uses CMake in a regular way. So please, create one, test and push upstream to the fine MSYS2 devs. Good luck, and happy hacking! -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
