General Build Instructions Using Auto‐tools

Alternative configure and build option using auto-tools (not working for MSVC build)

Depending on your requirements, the following prerequisites are needed:

• libelf including header files (for directly reading ELF files)
• libusb 0.1 or 1.0 (or compatible), including header files
• libftdi or libftdi1 (for direct access to FTDI devices)
• libhidapi or libhid (for access to recent Atmel/Microchip dongles)
• automake, autoconf and libtool

cd src
./bootstrap
./configure                                                                #(for Linux and Windows MSYS2 mingw64)
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure           #(for macOS Macports, FreeBSD and OpenBSD)
CFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib ./configure               #(for NetBSD)
CFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib ./configure     #(for macOS Homebrew)
make

At the end of the configure command, a configuration summary is issued, like this:
