Building for Windows about hacktv HOT 28 CLOSED

+1

from hacktv.

Can't you just use linux?

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

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.

from hacktv.

@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.

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.

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

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

haha disregard that comment :)

from hacktv.

For my needs it works fine, thanks.

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

@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.

from hacktv.

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

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.

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

Have you made any changes?

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

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.

from hacktv.

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

from hacktv.

still the same issue :(

from hacktv.

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.

from hacktv.

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... :/

from hacktv.
