flashrom Program compile problems

[Sven Frey]

Hello Flashrom Support Team,

I have a Windows 10 32 bit PC. I need your program flashrom. Unfortunately I can not compile the program. Can you send me the program compiled? I would be very grateful. Many thanks for the help.

Best regards, 
Sven

Hi Sven, I think it would be much more efficient for you to just use
some user friendly Linux LiveCD/LiveUSB (it unpacks to your RAM
without touching a hard drive), then you temporary install a linux
version of flashrom and use it for flashing + could mount a Windows
partition to copy the binaries. flashrom wiki contains the
step-by-step instructions on how to build it under Linux, or your
could simply install a package from your Linux distro (something like
"sudo apt-get install flashrom" at Ubuntu/Linux Mint) but please note
that this package would be outdated so if you need a chip which only
recently became supported by flashrom, you'd need to git clone the
repository and build from source - luckily it's very simple also and
well documented.

Best regards,
Mike Banon

what flash programmer do you intend to use? I can't provide any Windows
binaries. It shouldn't be hard to compile, though, but the programmer
support is limited on Windows. Mostly by the libraries you can find.

I guess, you can get support for many serial UART and USB connected
programmers with MinGW[1] and libusb[2]. If you succeed, it would be
nice if you'd drop some lines how it's done, as we have no Windows
instructions in our README, currently.

Alternatively, you could cross-compile flashrom for Windows on Linux.
Instructions are in the README, I never tried it, though.

Last but not least, if libusb (or what you need for your programmer)
works in the "Windows Subsystem for Linux", you could also try flashrom
in there.

Hope that helps,
Nico
