[ITP] libnfc v1.7.1


libnfc is a platform-independent library to use physical NFC readers.
It can be used to read and modify contents of a NFC tag, and also
serves as a base for other projects like MFOC
(https://code.google.com/p/mfoc/) or MFCUK
(https://code.google.com/p/mfcuk/)

This package is already available in Linux distributions like Debian
(https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/libnfc), Ubuntu
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/trusty/libnfc), Fedora
(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/libnfc), etc...

The library has been split in three parts: runtime library (only the
DLL), -dev (with headers and pkg-config files), and a third one which
include some tools that are compiled as part of libnfc compilation but
are not required for libnfc to work. Their setup.hints are:

For "libnfc" package:
category: Libs
requires: libusb0
sdesc: "Public platform-independent Near Field Communication (NFC)
library (runtime)"
ldesc: "libnfc is the first libre low-level NFC SDK and Programmers
API released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. It provides
complete transparency and royalty-free use for everyone."

For "libnfc-dev" package:
category: Libs Devel
requires: libnfc libusb-devel
sdesc: "Public platform-independent Near Field Communication (NFC)
library (development)"
ldesc: "libnfc is the first libre low-level NFC SDK and Programmers
API released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. It provides
complete transparency and royalty-free use for everyone."
external-source: libnfc

For "nfc-utils" package:
category: Utils
requires: libnfc
sdesc: "Utilities to interact with NFC devices"
ldesc: "This package contains several utilities to detect, read and
write NFC devices.
Amongst other, some utilities contained in this package are:
nfc-jewel, nfc-list, nfc-mfclassic, nfc-mfultralight,
nfc-read-forum-tag3, nfc-emulate-forum-tag4, nfc-relay-picc and
nfc-scan-device."
external-source: libnfc

(These .hint files were automatically generated by cygport)

A pre-compiled binary (extracted from cygport's resulting "dist"
folder) is available here:
http://webs.ono.com/socram8888/cygwin/libnfc/

Resulting binary has been tested to work using a CP2102 USB-serial
adapter and a PN532 RFID reader.
