If you come out with a simple instruction to cross compile openocd (using libusb-1.0, libusb-win32, libftdi) with the help of pkg-config under Linux, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance. As for MinGW/MSys, there is a package manager as part of the installer (mingw-get) but it does not have the functionality of pkg-config. You can manipulate CFLAGS and LDFLAGS if you do not want to copy the header and lib files to the default directories. But I consider that as even more problematic than copying the files. Copying files is not feasible for big project with many dependencies, but for openocd, it is really not that bad. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
