Improve including LIBUSB on Windows #102

Closed micropicostack closed 1 month ago

micropicostack commented 2 months ago

Add additional checks to determine which library to use - MinGW or VS and if 32bit or 64bit library. Allow to use PkgConfig on Windows as well if it is installed (in PATH).

Initial commit had an issue with the PkgConfig check. The idea was to check if pkg-config tool is available then use that (linux and windows) if not revert to manual path hints settings. Moved the package check before checking PKG_CONFIG_FOUND.

On windows it is possible to install pkg-config with winget

winget install bloodrock.pkg-config-lite

Once this is done, set the PKG_CONFIG_PATHfrom where the pkg-config will find the .pc files. 

setx PKG_CONFIG_PATH C:\Work\PkgConfigs

After this is done the, it is possible to build picotool with the pkg config

Example libusb.pc file

prefix=C:/Work/libusb-1.0.27
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/MinGW64/static
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: libusb-1.0
Description: Lib USB
Version: 1.0.27
Requires:

I hope this helps others! 😄
