I've made some minor changes to libftdi to allow building with msvc
(cmake/ninja/msvc and the ms crt for example). During this, I noticed
that the cmake files of libftdi seem to be quite outdated. Would a
patch updating cmake files to use more modern features (and therefore
require a higher cmake version) be acceptable? Is there a specific
cmake version libftdi is trying to maintain compatibility with?
fwiw, the minimum code change required for msvc support is just
implementing gettimeofday() as a wrapper around the C-standard
timespec_get(). Unfortunately libftdi exposes `struct timeval` in it's
API as part of `FTDIProgressInfo`, so it probably doesn't make sense
to just migrate all uses of gettimeofday to timespec_get.
Additionally, the "deprecated #define" can be implemented as e.g.
#pragma deprecated("SIO_RESET_PURGE_RX")
for msvc.
Thanks,
