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 pkg-config`

###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`
