Hi. Nice guide but I have a problem after running cmake. I get all this errors. Where is my error

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.

Hi,

I've been following all of your steps until the last one: mingw32-make. Cmake fully configured the installation. Sad enough, when I run mingw32-make in the build folder. I'm getting the following output and errors:

http://pastebin.com/wMKmAdLE

I hope someone can help me with this.

I'm runnig Windows 8 64 bit by the way.

Hi Wouter,

I try to install libnfc but I have the same problem as you.
Did you find an answer about that ?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

Same configuraiton and same problem too.
Do you have any answer ?

Thanks a lot.

i follow all step: compile 32 bit version... no problem! If i try to compile under a 64 bit machine it still build a 32 bit version, i check all and i don't understand why it doensn't compile a 64 bit version. How to force target to 64 bit?

Hi everybody,

When I compile the libnfc-1.7.0 (win), i get the message that the libnfc.rc not at the location already set. Can you please tell me how can I get or generate the rc file?

Thanks a lot.
Regards

Hi, Very well explained guide. Thaks for providing such a nice guide.

I am getting following error during mingw32-make. Can you please point me what needs to be done to get rid of this issue.

Thank you soo much for this guide! Would never have managed this with out you! :) now its reading nfc like a champ!! :D

A slight comment to those who install on 64 bit windows systems and get the "This application has failed to start because libnfc.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." - message: the libnfc.dll file should be copied to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder as this is the system directory for 32 bit files.!!!

First, thank you for the instructions! I had to "install both the libnfc.dll and libusb0.dll as I got the same error for both when trying to launch one of the applications. I had to copy the .dll files to the system or sysWOW64 directories. Now I am getting an error...

The application failed to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

Any thoughts?

I got the same error as Nicholas B, any idea to solve it ?

He seguido todos los pasos y me sale este error en cmake:

ME PUEDEN AYUDAR???? GRACIAS.

I coppied both the libnfc.dll and libusb0.dll to the executable directory as I got the same error for both when trying to launch one of the applications. I too am getting an error...

The application failed to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

Google hasn't turned up much.

The application failed to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

*FIX*
In CMAKE choose
libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0\lib\msvc_x64\libusb.lib
as your
LIBUSB_LIBRARIES value

I finished all the steps above, but I got a different message after my attemp to execute nfc-list.exe. My PC is 64bit Windows 10. It told me I lost usblib0.dll. I found that file in libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0/bin/amd64/libusb0.dll, and copied that file to both C:/Windows/system32 and C:/Windows/Wowsystem64. However I still can't run that application because it told me the file libusb0.dll is wrong. What should I do?

FOR ALL WINDOWS 64 BIT USER:

1. copy libnfc.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
2. copy C:\Tools\libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0\bin\x86\libusb0_x86.dll
to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3. rename C:\Windows\SysWOW64\libusb0_x86.dll to libusb0.dll

the hint is in C:\Tools\libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0\bin\libusb-win32-bin-README.txt ;)

hope it works for you. Tested at Windows 7 64bit

@ Julio Jose

just click "Add Entry" in cmake-gui and add LIBNFC_ROOT_DIR and put it to path and inset as example C:/Tools/libnfc

Hey, just wanted to say I really appreciate this post. You're a life saver!

Hi
Though I god success on CMake step, i can not have good result as mingw32-make

....
c:/.../lib/libmsvcrt.a when searching for -lmsvcrt
c:/.../bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lmsvcrt
...
Makefile:148: recipe for target 'all' failed

But i can see libmsvcrt.a
i hope your guide

I copied libnfc.dll and libusb0.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory. Everything builds up to pn53x-diagnose.exe. Here's my output.

Any ideas? Some people apparently got the original code to work in linux. Not sure what would be happening on Windows 7 64 bit PC? Issue seems code related though, somehow.

HI.
I have follow errors when compile LIBNFC_DRIVER_ACR122_USB.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks for this guide. I get this error message on Windows 10:

Thank you for any hints!

clicking on the advanced checkbox in cmake-gui shows ALL missing references so,after fixing missing paths, I was able to follow the process on this tutorial and generate dll with mingw32-make.exe
I've also had to copy my source folder (for me : C:/tools/libnfc-master) into target build folder C:/libnfc-build, for configuration settings
then i have copied libnfc.dll in the same folder then nfc-list.exe
but when I run nfc-list.exe Nothing happens (no display, just a waiting cursor)

Hi, thanks for your tutorial
I've cross compiled mfoc.exe , cropto1_bs.exe, mfcuk.exe, nfc-mfcclassic.exe for windows 10 x64
here is the link to my blog post : http://legacy.averbouch.biz/libnfc-and-nfc-utils-binaries-on-windows-10/ if some is interested :-)

I get this error message on Windows 10:

Hi, I get same error message like Belenki:

Have somebody any solution?
