libwdi: Windows Driver Installer library for USB devices
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- Automated driverless device detection
|
|
- Automated inf creation, using the name reported by the USB device
|
|
- Automated driver files extraction, for both 32 and 64 bit platforms
|
|
- Automated driver installation, including UAC elevation where necessary
|
|
- When statically linked, only the final executable needs to be redistributed to
|
|
ensure that a driver can be automatically installed on any Windows platform.
|
|
|
|
For the reditributale library to work on both 64 and 32 bit, you must use a
|
|
compiler that can produce both 32 and 64 bit binaries, and compile the library
|
|
as 32 bit.
|
|
For gcc, that means that your compiler should support both the -m32 and -m64
|
|
options, and for Visual Studio, that means using a non Express version.
|
|
Note that you still have the possibility to use other compilers to produce a 32
|
|
bit (or 64 bit) only library, and automated configuration will be smart enough
|
|
to detect this, and compile/embed only the required 32 or 64 bit resources.
|
|
If you want to compile a 64 bit only library, make sure you comment OPT_M32 in
|
|
config.h, or use the --disable-32bit option when runing configure.
|
|
|
|
For gcc, the best solution right now, to have -m32 and -m64 with very little
|
|
effort, is to download WPG System 64 from http://www.cadforte.com/system64.html
|
|
as the MinGW-32 and cygwin only compile 32 bit binaries by default, and the
|
|
official binary packages from MinGW-w64 don't have multilib enabled, so they are
|
|
64 bit only.
|
|
|
|
Compiling:
|
|
Regardless of your development environment, you must either have the Windows DDK
|
|
installed, or have the winusb/wdf 32 and 64 bit redistributable DLLs.
|
|
On cygwin/mingw, you need to supply the path to your DDK with the --with-ddkdir
|
|
option when calling configure (see autogen.sh).
|
|
For MSVC, you must edit msvc/config.h and set DDK_PATH path accordingly.

The Zadig GUI application uses a slightly modified version of libconfig 1.4.5
|
|
(LGPL v2.1), which is copyright Mark Lindner et al.
