Re: [avrdude-dev] AVRDUDE+libusb, compiling and running on Windows

[Jason Hecker]

I have managed to wrangle avrdude.exe to work 'on my machine' and Win-32
for the purposes of it working with FTDI parts in MSSE/SPI mode.

I had to hack the Makefile to link to the .dll.a versions of files and make
some changes to the avrdude.conf file which I'll submit later.

Have a look here and try it out:
