1. How to compile on Windows
----------------------------

In order to natively compile on Windows, the following prerequisite have to be
fullfilled:

1.1) install MinGW environment according to instructions  here:

http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started

2.2) install the pthreads_win32 source and compile it; the source is found here:

https://www.sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

take care to compile it under your home directory, otherwise you have to
change the configure.ac in libperseus-lib accordingly.


2.3) download latest libusb-1.0 source from git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git 
and build (prefix as per http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS)

cd 
git clone git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git
cd libusb
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install


2.4) install sources getting the zipped file at

svn checkout http://libperseus-sdr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ libperseus-sdr-read-only


2.5) open the MinGW (MSYS) shell, make the sources directory current and type

make

if the process ends correctly, you should find the perseustest.exe in the same directory


2.6) install a libusb signed driver with Zadig (TBD)
