SRecord 1.53
on Windows

The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools and utilities for Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, Vista, etc. They function by using the Cygwin library which provides a UNIX-like API on top of the Win32 API.

This means that you can compile SRecord for Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, Vista, etc. SRecord was tested on Windows in this way. Other tools, such as Nutcracker, are expected to work but have not been confirmed.

DJGPP is a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS. It includes ports of many GNU development utilities.

Once you have Cygwin or DJGPP installed, simply follow the instructions in the BUILDING file, as if it were Unix.

Note: Some problems have been reported using GCC 3.2. If you experience problems, please try GCC 2.96 instead. Of course, a patch to fix the 3.2 problems is always welcome.

Pre-built windows binaries are available from sourceforge.net, although they tend to lag behind the current release.

FAQ

Please, please, can you just build it for me?

No. The author rarely uses Windows for anything. No.

Besides, SRecord is open source. That means you can get the source code. That means you can build it youself.

If you let the author know the URL to get your compiled binaries from, after some-one else confirms they work, he will upload them to SourceForge.

Windows Build

Building SRecord on Windows using Cygwin is as easy as doing it for Unix:
$ ./configure
$ make
$
but this makes executables which need the CYGWIN1.DLL which often isn't what is desired. To make executables which don't need it, do this:
$ CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' CXX='g++ -mno-cygwin' ./configure
$ make
$
This is how the executables on sourceforge.net were built.
