[avrdude-dev] autoconf / automake for Windows

[E. Weddington]

Any help in this would be great. I'm not up to speed yet on the auto 
tools, but I'm working on it. This is what needs to happen for any 
build for Windows (cygwin, mingw):

1. On install, these files need to be copied to bin:
windows/install_giveio.bat
windows/status_giveio.bat
windows/remove_giveio.bat
windows/giveio.sys
Note that the *.bat files need to keep Windows line endings (CR LF) 
and that giveio.sys is a binary file.

2. loaddrv.exe needs to be built and also copied to bin on install. 
The sources are:
windows/loaddrv.c
windows/loaddrv.h
And its CFLAGS:
-g -Wall -Os -mno-cygwin

3. Of course the above files (in #1 and #2) should be shipped with a 
distribution.

4. I have giveio.c, the source for giveio.sys, in CVS. It requires 
the MS DDK to build which I don't have and I don't expect many people 
to have it either. It is in there essentially for reference. I would 
assume that giveio.c should be shipped with a distribution, yes?

I think that this about covers all the requirements for building and 
executing for Windows.

Thanks,
Eric
