SRecord \*(v)
using Windows NT

The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools and utilities for Windows 95, 98, and NT. 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 and NT. SRecord was tested on Windows NT in this way. Other tools, such as Nutcracker, 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 .fi sourceforge.net.

Windows Build

building SRecord on window using Cygwin is as easy as doing it for Unix:
.nf
$ ./configure
$ make
$
.fi
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:
.nf
$ CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' CXX='g++ -mno-cygwin' ./configure
$ make
$
.fi
This is how the executables on .fi sourceforge.net were built.
