[ITP] libftdi1

[Åke Rehnman]

Hello!

Any chance to get libftdi1 to be included in cygwin distribution?

libftdi1 is available in most distributions like ubuntu:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libftdi1

Since I've never submitted a package before I was not sure if I should 
include libconfuse in .hint. Although it's not required to be able to 
use the libftdi1 lib but to build ftdi_eeprom.exe.

category: Libs
requires: bash cygwin libgcc1 libstdc++6 libusb1.0-devel pkg-config python
sdesc: "FTDI USB driver with bitbang mode"
ldesc: "libFTDI is an open source library to talk to FTDI chips: FT232BM, FT245BM, FT2232C, FT2232D, FT245R, FT232H and FT230X including the popular bitbang mode. The library is linked with your program in userspace, no kernel driver required.
libFTDI works perfectly with Linux, Windows, MacOS X and BSD variants thanks to libusb."

[ITP] libftdi1 & libconfuse

[Åke Rehnman]

Hello all,

One more effort to try getting some attention towards libftdi and 
libconfuse packages...

Both libftdi and libconfuse are available in ubuntu and debian + others. 
Libftdi is used with openocd among others. Libconfuse is used by eeprom 
programmer for libftdi.

libftdi1 is released under LGPL 2.1 and eeprom programmer under GPL 2. 
See https://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/index.php

libconfuse is released under ISC License. See 
https://github.com/martinh/libconfuse/blob/master/LICENSE

Regards

libftdi1.cygport should use 'DEPEND=pkgconfig(libconfuse)' rather than 
hand-rolling a check for it.

I guess that it should also have 'pkgconfig(libusb-1.0) swig'.

With those things fixed, package looks good, so please provide a ssh key 
as per https://cygwin.com/package-upload.html
