How to compile with users_tr.c enabled?

[potty-dzmeia]

I am trying to compile under Windows with rig control support.

I am using MSYS2 mingw64

What works:

• git clone
• cp Makefile.msys2.nodebug Makefile
• make linrad64.exe
• Success

What doesn't work:

• git clone
• cp Makefile.msys2.nodebug Makefile
• cp users_tr.c hwaredriver.c
• make linrad64.exe
• Error: I start getting lots of errors in hwaredriver.c

I guess I am missing something?
Thanks in advance.

@potty-dzmeia - I don't use Windows much here, and I am not sure where you read the instructions about cp users_tr.c hwaredriver.c.

From what I can see, Leif wrote (https://github.com/fventuri/linrad/blob/main/users_tr.c#L40-L54):

// To generate a windows version under Linux:
//   install mingw32 from Leif's website
//   download lirxx-xx.tbz and extract it to your linrad directory
//   rename  users_tr.c to wusers_hwaredriver.c in your linrad directory
//   run ./configure and  make linrad.exe from your linrad directory
//
// To generate a windows version under Windows:
//   Install mingw and nasm from Leif's website in the C:\MinGW  directory
//   Download lirxx-xx.zip and unpack the linrad sources in your linrad
//   directory
//   Rename  users_tr.c to wusers_hwaredriver.c in your linrad directory
//   Start a MS-DOS Command Window on your computer: click the Windows Start
//   menu and enter the "cmd.exe" command into the run box
//   In the MS-DOS Command Window issue a "cd" command to your linrad directory
//   followed by a "configure.exe" and "make.bat" command

which is not what you did.
