Hi guys,
I'm thinking of making an application on top of simtrace, but my focus
would be on Windows users. I'd like to know if the application runs ok on
Windows systems.

Windows has not been a priority. I once created a very simple GUI for
SIMtrace (providing the dump and status about the device) using Qt. The
biggest issue for Windows will be the socket code, we don't have WSA2
support in libosmocore. Currently the easiest would be to use cygwin when
using the simtrace application on windows.

Thank you for your reply, that was the first email :)
Ok. We'll try linking the app with cygwin1.dll. You said the biggest issue
would be WSA2, but I see you use libusb. Do you know if we are going to
have problems with hardware detection/communication (SIMTrace board) under
Windows?

Please make sure to build the entire application within the cygwin
environment, ie. using the cygwin compiler.
You said the biggest issue would be WSA2, but I see
you use libusb.

I don't think you will have problems, libusb-1.0 works on Windows as
long as you make sure to:
1. Use the WinUSB.sys kernel driver from Microsoft for the device
2. Build and use libusb-1.0.dll from http://git.libusb.org/libusb.git
rather than another version of the code
Please let me (or Trac at https://libusb.org/ ) know if there are
some issues. libusb-1.0 should work fine for SIMtrace on Windows,
both in and out of cygwin.
Note that cygwin might or might not be very up to date with the
libusb source code. I would suggest not to bother with testing it,
and go straight for building the libusb.git source.

Hummm...
I was thinking about compiling the application with MinGW and link it with
cygwin and with whichever dll SIMTrace would need. At this point we think
it would be best if the user didn't have to install cygwin, he'd only have
to install our app which would include cygs dlls.
Do you think that this wouldn't suffice?
Anyways, we can try both approaches, but it would be great if we could
spare the effort. Thanks!

You have to install Cygwin to build the application, your user only
needs the DLL, as always with Cygwin.

Avoid mixing MinGW with Cygwin. MinGW is Windows, Cygwin is *not*
Windows, and they don't mix so great.

Oh, ok! Great news!
Thanks a lot for the help! Will post back to let you know the results.
Thank you!
