mcard plugin win32 building for DRM application

Folks:

 

How do I build the mcard plugin (1.1.3) on a native win32 platform?

 

Context:

 

(1) I've built the mcard javacard applet in a simulator, modified to

use some extra non-PKCS-11 DRM-related crypto

mechanisms, for my customer.

 

(2) This javacard accepts APDUs over sockets, rather than

CCID USB or 7816 line protocols. (The DRM solution

requires the IFD to be socket server, infact, for huge

scaling.)

 

(3) I need to rebuild the mcard plugin from source on win32, to link

a custom PC/SC static lib rather than pcsc-lite or Microsoft DLLs. The linked proxy, allows me to dynamically load real PC/SC providers, such

as the socket provider, or the standard MS PC/SC scard framework.

 

My Win32 build trials to date:

 

(a) Using cygwin, the pc-sc lite and mcard libraries both fail to build the

shared libraries, post excution of ./configure for the usual gnu build

environment. For pcsc-lite, the build attempts to build the UNIX

package options, for things like dynamic library loading.

 

(b) using "configure" from an MS cmd windows for the mcard

plugin package succesfully indicates tha QT is propery configured, and

Vis.Studio's nmake should be used. However, the Makefile is too

much complex for nmake, which objects strongly to the macros.

 

I clearly missing something very obvious. Help sought.

 

Peter.
