Hi, I compiled the latest code in Mingw /Windows 7. To us e USB, in the readme.Windows it gives the following instruction and I am halted at installing .INF file
INSTRUCTION as GiVEN in readme.windows : For mingw: Down load libusb-win32 ( as a note it looks like nothing to be installed. I did not find any .exe to install Reference : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki) For libusb-win32: Symlink the header and library files into MinGW installation, run: + ln -s "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/include/lusb0_usb.h" /mingw/include/ + ln -s "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/lib/gcc/libusb.a" /mingw/lib/ + ln -s "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/bin/x86/libusb0_x86.dll" /mingw/bin/libusb0.dll + cp "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/bin/x86/libusb0.sys" brltty/hotplug/libusb0.sys + cp "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/bin/x86/libusb0_x86.dll" brltty/hotplug/libusb0.dll + cp "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/bin/amd64/libusb0.sys" brltty/hotplug/libusb0_x64.sys + cp "/path/to/LibUSB-Win32/bin/amd64/libusb0.dll" brltty/hotplug/libusb0_x64.dll and then right-click on brltty/hotplug/brltty.inf and select install, or on braille device plug, point at the brltty/hotplug/brltty.inf file. ISSUES : 1. RightClicking on the .inf file just opens up in a notepad. 2. Then I used "inf-wizard.exe" as mentioned in the : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wik<http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/libusb-win32/wiki> . It gave the option to enter deviceId/ProductId; but I guess here it needs an option to enter and .INF file name. How to get that? 3. Running the .INF, does it require any other files from "brltty/Hotplug" directory OR is just .inf file and the renamed libsub (as above) are sufficient.? Can you please check what am I missing in Running brltty.inf ? The actual device installed a Windows driver by itself when connected. Is that to removed to run brltty?
