This repository contains host software (Linux/Windows) for HackRF, a project to
produce a low cost, open source software radio platform.
##How to build the host software on Linux:
###Prerequisites for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):
`sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev`
###Build host software on Linux:
`cd host`
`mkdir build`
`cd build`
`cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON`
`make`
`sudo make install`
`sudo ldconfig`
##Clean CMake temporary files/dirs:
`cd host/build`
`rm -rf *`
##How to build host software on Windows:
###Prerequisites for cygwin or mingw:
* cmake-2.8.12.1 or more see http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
* libusbx-1.0.18 or more see http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbx/files/latest/download?source=files
* Install Windows driver for HackRF hardware or use Zadig see http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig
- If you want to use Zadig select HackRF USB device and just install/replace it with WinUSB driver.
>**Note for Windows build:**
You shall always execute hackrf-tools from Windows command shell and not from Cygwin or Mingw shell because on Cygwin/Mingw
Ctrl C is not managed correctly and especially for hackrf_transfer the Ctrl C(abort) will not stop correctly and will corrupt the file.
###For Cygwin:
`cd host`
`mkdir build`
`cd build`
`cmake ../ -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=1 -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/`
`make`
`make install`
###For MinGW:
`cd host`
`mkdir build`
`cd build`
Normal version:
*
`cmake ../ -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/`
Debug version:
*
`cmake ../ -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/libusb-1.0/`
`make`
`make install`
###For Visual Studio 2012 x64
`c:\hackrf\host\cmake>cmake ../ -G "Visual Studio 11 2012 Win64" -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=c:\libusb-1.0.18-win\include\libusb-1.0 -DLIBUSB_LIBRARIES=c:\libusb-1.0.18-win\MS64\static\libusb-1.0.lib -DTHREADS_PTHREADS_INCLUDE_DIR=c:\pthreads-w32-2-9-1-release\Pre-built.2\include -DTHREADS_PTHREADS_WIN32_LIBRARY=c:\pthreads-w32-2-9-1-release\Pre-built.2\lib\x64\pthreadVC2.lib`
Solution file: `c:\hackrf\host\cmake\hackrf_all.sln`
##How to build host the software on FreeBSD
You can use the binary package:
`# pkg install hackrf`
You can build and install from ports:
`# cd /usr/ports/comms/hackrf`
`# make install`
