Hello,

I'm trying to install minipro under Cygwin on Windows 10. I have seen people say they can do it with mingw64, but I have not had any success. Here are the steps I have followed:

-Run Cygwin install -Select Install from Internet -Mirror=https://mirrors.rit.edu -Search for wget --Set All -> Web -> wget 1.21.1-1 to install -Search for libusb --Select highest version for all returned libraries under All -> Lib --(I lready have libsub Windows executable installed) -Search for gcc --Select highest non-test version for all returned libraries under All -> Devel to Install -Click next -Finish install -Open Cygwin terminal -Realize I forgot git -Run install -Search for git --Select highest version of all returned libraries under All -> Devel -Realize I forgot make -Run install -Search for make --Select highest version of all returned libraries under All -> Devel that were not already installed -Get errors related to "conflicting types for ‘usb_open’" and "conflicting types for ‘usb_close’" (see below for exact errors) -Search for libusb --Select highest version for all libraries returned under All->Devel that were not already installed

I'm not sure what I'm getting wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

PS: I'm aware that this minipro is for Linux and Mac, but as others have successfully done this, I thought it must be possible. I reached out to David before posting asking where the best place to ask for help was, and he pointed me here. Although I didn't tell him it was Cygwin related. I apologize if this is out of turn.

As i'm the one who added the Windows support i can tell you that this project can be compiled under Windows without any changes or workarounds, but, you need to install the right tools (not Cygwin).
So pay attention here.

First go to https://www.msys2.org/ and download the MSYS2 installer and follow the instructions from that page. After the installer finish please go to your start menu and choose MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit like this:
msys
Then from the msys console do pacman -Syu. The msys will update and exit itself. Run the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit again and this time issue pacman -Su. This way you just installed and upgraded the MSYS2 core.

Now install the Mingw compiler package with: pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain and confirm with enter to install the default packages when asked. Now wait for all packages to be installed.
Now install the git package with: pacman -S --needed git

If all was ok, we can proceed to our task. Make a work directory with; mkdir /c/minipro && cd /c/minipro/ (or where you want).
Clone the minipro repo with git clone https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/minipro.git . and finally compile with make.

Connect your TL866 and give it a try with : ./minipro -V.
This way the minipro will use the native usb communication (manufacturer driver must be installed) and only windows native libraries are used as dependencies :
depends

Cheers!

Thank you for the great explanation! I only ran into one issue with these instructions. When I ran make, it told me GCC wasn't installed. I ran packman -S --needed gcc, and that allowed me to install gcc and compile minipro. Otherwise this worked perfectly!

There must have been something wrong; the pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain should have install all needed packages but well.. I wrote what i did but i'm glad that finally you figured out.

You wrote enough for me to be able to figure out the gcc issue myself. This is one of the clearest and most helpful reply to a post on the Internet I've ever had. Again, thank you!

Ok, you are welcome. But just for my curiosity can you please paste the output of ldd ./minipro.exe ? i want to see against what libraries was the .exe linked.
