I believe it should still work with latest MinGW.org toolchain.
If not, please let me know. I have some problems with the
later version of MinGW.org and I think it is not as stable.
The reason I use this old setup is also due to the fact I can
build everything libftdi offers (including the test program
using Boost Unit Testing Framework) under Windows. I am
lazy to build Boost again myself and the other ready-made
Boost binary seems to fail to build the test program somehow.
Tools used to build this package:
CMake 2.8.10.2: http://www.cmake.org/
MinGW GCC 4.7.2 : http://www.mingw.org
Boost 1.49 (build from source): http://www.boost.org
Python 2.7.3: http://www.python.org
swig 2.09: http://www.swig.org/
doxygen 1.8.3: http://www.doxygen.org/
libconfuse 2.7: http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/
pkg-config lite 0.28_1 :http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/
Boost building reference:

The trend seems to go for MinGW-w64 project under Windows,
especially the MSYS2 distribution. I will build 32/64bit Windows
binary for MSYS2 when I have some time. I remember I can build
almost everything except the test program with MinGW-w64 (which
seems to have linking problem).
