Building OpenOCD for Windows
----------------------------

You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW/MSYS or
Cygwin. Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW on a *nix
host. See README for the generic instructions.

USB adapters
------------

You usually need to have WinUSB.sys (or libusbK.sys) driver installed
for a USB-based adapter. Some vendor software (e.g. for ST-LINKv2)
does it on its own. For the other cases the easiest way to assign
WinUSB to a device is to use the Zadig installer:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/

For the old drivers that use libusb-0.1 API you might need to link
against libusb-win32 headers and install the corresponding driver with
Zadig.
