Building for Windows

[neo7530]

...and compile it for Windows... I run on errors while compiling it (FFMPEG, LIBHACKRF)

Thank you.

Can't you just use linux?

[neo7530]

don't want to boot 2 computers to play with it, so it would be nice, if i had it for windows...

[Zcooger]

Getting it to work on second partition or VM takes some time along with transferring heavy .raw files generated by HackRF from guest OS to host OS.

[SAUCYSOUP76]

@neo7530 have you considered dual booting? I'm using this under linux and it works perfectly. @Zcooger well it'll be quicker than waiting for the dev to compile it for windows as for me the compiliation time was roughly under a few seconds.

[neo7530]

i have to transmit and receive at the same time... my tv software works on windows only, so i have to boot 2 computers to play with hacktv. virtualbox is no option, because of issues with usb, so i can't transmit from it.

Can someone test this build please: https://www.sanslogic.co.uk/hacktv/hacktv-20190131-x86_64.zip

[neo7530]

jiippyyy... works like a charm. have to reset the hackrf after transmitting, but it works :)

[SAUCYSOUP76]

well it'll be quicker than waiting for the dev to compile it for windows

haha disregard that comment :)

[Zcooger]

For my needs it works fine, thanks.

[neo7530]

Perfect. @Fsphil, can you post the steps to compile it for Windows, please? Many thanks.

[SAUCYSOUP76]

@neo7530 i take it compiling c is not the same on windows as it is on linux? for me it's cd hacktv and then make and make install.

[fsphil]

I've added a script which will attempt to build hacktv for Windows x86_64:

$ ./build_win64.sh

The required packages for each distro will vary, but on Fedora I believe you just need: git make libtool mingw64-gcc mingw64-gcc-c++ mingw64-winpthreads-static mingw64-pkg-config

[neo7530]

Thank you for Your work.

Something goes wrong with this version when i build it for Windows in fedora: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -lz /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld: cannot find -lz

Do you have an idea? Thank you.

[fsphil]

Which version of Fedora? It's working fine here on Fedora 29 (x86_64).

[neo7530]

same version... Fedora 29 Are there some missing libs in my system?

[fsphil]

Have you made any changes?

[neo7530]

Nope... the old builds still compiling right...

[fsphil]

Can you show me the lines above the error, the context might help.

[fsphil]

Thanks. At first glance it looks like something has changed in ffmpeg. I'm rebuilding it from fresh here now, will see if the error appears.

[fsphil]

It's still building fine here. Can you try from a fresh directory? Run "make clean" and delete the build_win64 directory.

[neo7530]

still the same issue :(

[fsphil]

I've just tried on a fresh install of Fedora 30 and it worked fine. There must be something outside of your build directory that's causing ffmpeg to pull in the -lz and -lbz2 libraries. I'm not sure what it could be.

[neo7530]

Will test it later with a fresh install and report. Thank you.

No job control in this shell... what is this? Fedora 30 fresh install... :/

[neo7530]

found it... had to install cmake...
