• Libiio can be built using the CMake build system.
  Download CMake: http://www.cmake.org/download/

• To build libiio under Windows, you will need the libxml2 DLL as well.
  Optionally, for USB support, you will need the libusb DLL; and for UART support, you will need the liberialport DLL.
  For convenience, a ZIP containing precompiled DLLs of those libraries can be downloaded here: http://swdownloads.analog.com/cse/build/libiio-win-deps.zip

• Launch CMake, and specify the location of the source code and the directory where the build will occur.
  Enable the Grouped and Advanced options (optional).

• Then click on Configure.
  CMake will ask you what generator to use for the project. Select Use default native compilers and the generator that matches your version of Visual Studio.

• CMake will most likely throw an error, as the libxml2 library is not in the compiler's default search paths:

• Set the correct paths to LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR, LIBXML2_LIBRARIES and LIBXML2_XMLLINT_EXECUTABLE as shown below. Then, click again on Configure; the errors should disappear.

• Click on Generate.
  Now, CMake generated a Visual Studio solution file in the build directory, named iio.sln. You can open this file with Visual Studio to build the project.
