Running usbdmx on Windows

[inkeliz]

It's not an issue. But, I thought that it should be nice to have some documentation around that topic. It is not "plug-and-play".

Compiling requires the LibUSB. It's not that easy on Windows, and you need to download MSYS2, then inside MSYS terminal run pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config and pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libusb. Of course, you need to add your MinGW64 to the Variable Path.

Even with that compiled, it will not work. It will list the devices, but LibUSB can't use them, it just retrieves the information. You need to replace the drivers too. I think the best way is going to Zadig, then you can select your FTDI and install the "WinUSB" (others may work, but here doesn't).

The next error would be related to "OutputInterfaceID", and "InputInterfaceID". The error will give the right numbers, so it's easy. (Can't it be detected automatically?)
