sigrok-qt on Windows

Status

We intend to fully support all major operating systems in sigrok, including Windows. However, we're not quite there, yet. Various portability issues need to be addressed still. The tables below list the current Windows status of the various hardware drivers.

Supported

Logic analyzer Windows status
ASIX SIGMA/SIGMA2 Compiles fine using libftdi + libusb-0.1-win32 and should work (not runtime-tested yet, though).
ChronoVu LA8 Works fine using libftdi + libusb-0.1-win32.
Demo driver Works fine.
IKALOGIC ScanaPLUS Works fine using libftdi + libusb-0.1-win32.
ZEROPLUS Logic Cube LAP-C(16032) Works fine using libusb-1.0.
ZEROPLUS LAP-16128U Should works fine using libusb-1.0 (not runtime-tested yet, though).

1 There are various problems with the current sigrok and libusb-1.0 code on Windows that need to be fixed. Among other things, running poll()/select() on FDs is not possible on Windows, neither does libusb_get_pollfds() work.

Self-extracting installers

Work in progress. We don't provide pre-built installers for sigrok-cli and PulseView right now, but will do so in the near future, when a few issues have been sorted out.
