need a windows snapshot for flashrom v 0.9.8 or v 0.9.7

[David G ZHAO]

Dear sir,

My name is David Zhao, from Sydney Australia.

I was using buspirate for writting firmware for bios on the motherboard. 
The flashrom I used is 0.9.6.1 only. I did check your link for the new 
version of  flashrom v 0.9.8. I tried a few days to compile version 
0.9.8 from your source code, but not being successful. I also notice the 
snapshots url  http://ra.openbios.org/~idwer/flashrom/mingw/ 
http://ra.openbios.org/%7Eidwer/flashrom/mingw/ can not be opened.

Now I am asking you a big favour, can you please email me the snapshots 
for the windows command line version (for v0.9.8 or v0.9.7)?

Your help is much appreciated

Kind regards
David Zhao

Hello,

from your description it is most likely that the connection to the chip
is the cause of your problem. The current version of flashrom does
reflect that more clearly than the old one in its messages. Please
refer to http://flashrom.org/Bus_Pirate for information on how to
connect the chip.

Regarding the DOS version of flashrom I have updated the wiki to point
to our build bot. The version you can find there are untested and
should not be trusted and I don't intend to provide proper binaries for
DOS in the future. See http://flashrom.org/Downloads#Binary_packages
