Hi Siddharth, I could not find easily which version of MingW I am using. if any command or properties that I can look at let me know. How ever, the following are some directories if you can make out some useful info. ( it is mingw32)
/mingw/msys/1.0 /mingw/bin $ ls min* mingw-get.exe mingw32-g++-4.6.2.exe mingw32-gcc.exe mingw32-c++.exe mingw32-g++.exe mingw32-make.exe mingw32-cc.exe mingw32-gcc-4.6.2.exe mingwm10.dll Other than that; I think i did not use brlty-4.5 directly from the bltty site. Instead i checked out the development version using svn at that time as suggested by Dave/samuel. I have shared the ZIP source file to your gmail id (brltty.zip) . That can be used to test it is working or not. I noticed some config param are different compared to what I wrote last time. So I am pasting my notes one again with correction. Use an entirely new directory in case if you are trying out further MAY trial 0. Use the zip file . [ Checked svn source code few months back in linux. Run the .autogen. Transfer the zip file to windows] 0.1 Unzip to /c/brlttymaywin/ ---STEPS for libusb-win32 - install 1\ download libusb-win32 from " http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/";, unpack it. 2\ [In Mingw]Symlink the header and library files into MinGW installation, run: ln -s "....(path to)/LibUSB-Win32/include/lusb0_usb.h" /mingw/include/usb.h 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 3.
