Building ======== -The package uses a GNU style build system and requires a Unix style shell. +On Windows, libserialport can be built with Visual Studio 2019 or with +the standalone MSBuild tool, using the solution and project files provided. -Windows builds can be created natively with the MinGW-w64 toolchain and -MSYS2 environment, or cross-compiled using a MinGW-w64 toolchain: - - http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ - -The "old" MinGW from http://mingw.org/ is not supported. +For other environments, the package uses a GNU style build based on autotools. Run "./autogen.sh" to generate the build system, "./configure" to setup, then "make" to build the library and "make install" to install it. +Windows builds can also be created using the autotools build system, using the +MinGW-w64 toolchain from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ - either natively +in Windows with the MSYS2 environment, or cross-compiling from another system. + +The "old" MinGW from http://mingw.org/ is not supported. + API ===
