PC/SC lite for Windows

[Sergio NNX]

Hi all,

I'm after pcsclite binaries for Windows. I've done some Google search but nothing has come up.

Thanks in advance.

Sergio.

May I ask you what will you use it for? And why not use the standard
winscard that comes with Windows >= XP?

Ciao Bruno.

Thanks for your prompt response. I need the binaries in order to build another project/app (e.g. hostap, etc). I need the include & lib files. Where can I download standard winscard?

Thanks again.

Sergio.

Your compiler/IDE should have the required header and library, you can
take a look at http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com.br/2010/04/pcsc-sample-in-c.html
for a cross platform example.

Thanks both for your input. Very useful.

I've found winscard.h (& winscard.lib) in here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\WinSCard.h

I have a concern/doubt though. Since I'm building other apps/projects using MinGW/MSYS, will that .lib file be compatible with MinGW/MSYS? Is it a static or dynamic library? I need to install this other app on several Windows machines with different OS versions, so ..... will it work?

How hard/easy would it be to port the latest version of pcsclite to Windows? (Just out of curiosity)

Cheers.

Sergio.

You should be able to find the headers and libraries in recent mingw32/64 packages (libwinscard.a and winscard.h). No need to copy from MS dev kit,

Why not use the built in PCSC libraries in Windows? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa380141(v=vs.85).aspx. This is the same API as in PCSC lite.
