What can be causing these errors in compiling?

Thanks. Oh and does the LibUSB-lib    mean the .dll or the .lib file?

And ive noticed that its only the PNxxx driver that is the problem

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Hi,

Based on your log there is no compiler error but a runtime problem.
What reader are you using?

it looks similar like the problem i'm having with the ASK Logo and libusb.

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Im using the SCL3711, and a mifare classic 1k. sorry for late reply

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

it would be good if you could test the following. This was needed for getting an ASK Logo working on windows, and i think this might solve your issue as well..

  • apply the following patch against libnfc

  • download the following libusb-win32 release: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb- … p/download

  • extract the libusb-win32-bin-debug-1.2.4.0.zip file

  • run bin/inf-wizard

  • choose your device from the list, click next

  • choose a location for the inf file

  • install the driver

  • check with bin\x86\testlibusb-win.exe if your device is recognized

  • run nfc-list (compiled with the patched code) and post the output

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Ill give it a shot when i can. Right now i have exams and such. No time for anything thanks for the advice Glenn.

Can you please PM me if you know anything about the Mifare SmartMX card? Like how to authencate keys and such? or what steps occur to get to the point where the communication is encrypted:

eg.   Reader: Send something
        Card:    reply with something
        Reader: send keys
        card: accepted
        Reader: [enc text]
         ............................


Thanks again glenn

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Hi Glenn,

I cant patch my code libnfc. This is becuase it is saying that patch cant be applied cos a line doesnt match.

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

how do you execute the patch? I just retried it on a clean checkout of current trunk (r1096) and it still applies with problemes here..

If you can't get the patching to work you can change it manually in pn53x_usb.c:

replace 

#include <usb.h>

with 

#ifndef _WIN32
  #include <usb.h>
#else
  #include <lusb0_usb.h>
#endif

and replace 

#define USB_TIMEOUT   0

with 

#ifndef _WIN32
  #define USB_TIMEOUT   0
#else
  #define USB_TIMEOUT   10
#endif

The other changes are extra debugging output, not needed to get it working.
It would be very good if you (or someone else) could test this before i submit a patch ..

regards,
Glenn

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

hey glenn

i patched it manually. To apply the patch i copied the whole code in the box into a text file, changed extensive to .patch and right-clicked apply via tortoiseSVN, and it didnt work.

anyway here is my compile out put:

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Can you verify that the driver is correctly installed? You can do this using the testlibusb-win.exe program which comes with libusb. When your device is attached and the driver is installed you should see something like this:

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

ok, it seems the driver is successfully installed.
Are you able to test your device using linux? i wonder if it works alright there.
If it does there must be some incompatibility between libusb en libusb-win32

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Works pretty fine in debian under a vmware machine.

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

so it seems like there is a problem with your device and libusb-win32 compatibility.
I had something similar with the ASK Logo, and in the end it turned out to be an inconsistency between libusb for linux and libusb-win32. I was hoping you were facing the same problem, but it seems like a different one.
I don't think i can help you further with my limited usb knowledge and not having the specific device.
I suggest you start a thread on the libusb-win32 mailing list. They are very helpfull..

this is the thread about the ASK reader problem: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru … in32-devel

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Glenn's patch have been applied in r1104.

At the moment, no more manual patch is needed to work under Windows (be sure you have a up-to-date- libusb-win32 version).

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Ok got it working here is how:

1. Update to latest revision.
2. Point to all current libnfc include dirs and libfiles
3. go into ...\libnfc\drivers and change the following line:

#ifndef _WIN32
  // Under POSIX system, we use libusb (>= 0.1.12)
  #include <usb.h>
  #define USB_INFINITE_TIMEOUT   0
  #define _usb_strerror( X ) strerror(-X)
#else
  // Under Windows we use libusb-win32 (>= 1.2.4)
  #include <lusb0_usb.h>
  // libusb-win32's bug workaround: 0 as timeout does not means infite as expected
  #define USB_INFINITE_TIMEOUT   100
  #define _usb_strerror( X ) usb_strerror()
#endif

in PN53x_USB.c

to:

#ifndef _WIN32
  // Under POSIX system, we use libusb (>= 0.1.12)
  #include <usb.h>
  #define USB_INFINITE_TIMEOUT  5000
  #define _usb_strerror( X ) strerror(-X)
#else
  // Under Windows we use libusb-win32 (>= 1.2.4)
  #include <lusb0_usb.h>
  // libusb-win32's bug workaround: 0 as timeout does not means infite as expected
  #define USB_INFINITE_TIMEOUT   1000
  #define _usb_strerror( X ) usb_strerror()
#endif

Then compile and run

BAM.... WORKING!!!

Now all i need to do is find how to hack Mifare SmartMX that is emulating a mifare 4k card....

Thanks glenn and Rconty and xiaofan!!

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Glad that you make it working.

On the other hand, 100ms timeout may still be too short in some cases. I think you may want to change that to 5000 or higher. The original timeout for Linux is actually infinite.

Re: LibNFC 1.5.0 not working under windows.

Is the lastest revision always cause troubles ?
