Welcome to pcsc-relay. The purpose of pcsc-relay is to forward APDUs from the
OpenPICC or from a libnfc device to a smart card via the PCSC middleware. You
can use this program in combination with the virtual smart card to emulate a
ISO/IEC 14443 smart card.
============
Installation
============
pcsc-relay uses the GNU Build System to compile and install. If you are
unfamiliar with it, please have a look at the file ``INSTALL``. If you have a
look around and can not find it, you are probably working bleeding edge in the
repository. Run the following command in the pcsc-relay direcotry to get the
missing standard auxiliary files::
autoreconf -i
pcsc-relay has the following dependencies:
- PC/SC middleware
- libnfc_
---------------
Hints on libnfc
---------------
pcsc-relay links against libnfc_. Here is an example of how to get the standard
installation of the latter::
PREFIX=/tmp/install
LIBNFC=libnfc
svn co http://libnfc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk $LIBNFC
cd $LIBNFC
autoreconf -i
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install
Building pcsc-relay with libnfc_ is done best using ``pkg-config``. The file
``libnfc.pc`` should be located in ``$INSTALL/lib/pkgconfig``. Here is how to
configure pcsc-relay to use it::
./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig
-------------------------
Hints on PC/SC middleware
-------------------------
PC/SC is included by default in most modern operating systems. On Unix-like
systems (Linux, OS X, Sun OS) it is realized by PCSC-Lite_. To compile
pcsc-relay you will need to install the PCSC-Lite headers from your
distribution. Windows also ships with a PC/SC middleware in form of the
Winscard module. Microsoft's developement environment Visual Studio includes
all necessary data for building pcsc-relay.
