+- Copy src/usb.h to /opt/cross/i386-mingw32msvc/include/
+- Copy *.a to /opt/cross/i386-mingw32msvc/lib/
+- Create a build directory like "mkdir build-win32", e.g in ../libftdi/
+- cd in that directory and run  
+  "cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../Toolchain-mingw32.cmake .."
+- Copy src/ftdi.h to /opt/cross/i386-mingw32msvc/include/
