MSYS2
From the project webpage:MSYS2 is a software distro and building platform for Windows
At its core is an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software. It provides a bash shell, Autotools, revision control systems and the like for building native Windows applications using MinGW-w64 toolchains.
It features a package management system to provide easy installation of packages, Pacman. It brings many powerful features such as dependency resolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as straight-forward package building.
Using MSYS2 it is easy to build/port a Unix program on Windows.
Build
To build the program use the classic sequence:./configure make
$ ./configure configure: loading site script /etc/config.site checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether make supports nested variables...

Windows does not use pcsc-lite but its own natice WinSCard implementation. So it is not surprising that libpcsclite is not found by the
SCardEstablishContext() can be used.$ make make all-am make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /home/Ludovic/pcsc-tools » CC pcsc_scan-pcsc_scan.o CCLD pcsc_scan.exe make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /home/Ludovic/pcsc-tools »
Run
$ ./pcsc_scan.exe PC/SC device scanner V 1.5.2 (c) 2001-2017, Ludovic RousseauUsing reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers... 0: Broadcom Corp Contacted SmartCard 0 1: Broadcom Corp Contactless SmartCard 0 Tue May 30 18:04:07 2017 Reader 0: Broadcom Corp Contacted SmartCard 0 Card state: Card removed, Reader 1: Broadcom Corp Contactless SmartCard 0 Card state: Card removed, Reader 2: \\?PnP?\Notification Card state:
Limitations
The program has some limitations:- the special reader name
\\?PnP?\Notification, used for reader hotplug events, has its name listed.
This is not the case on GNU/Linux or macOS. - the program does not exit when the key sequence
Ctrl-Cis used. On Unix the Control-C sequence is used to send a SIGINT signal to the process. On Windows I do not know an equivalent.
To quitpcsc_scan you have to terminate the process using the task manager. Not really a good User eXperience.
Conclusion
I do not plan to put a lot of effort into the Windows version of pcsc_scan. It was just an experiment.If you want a change you can submit a Pull Request at the pcsc-tools github project.
