You will need to install Zadig to get USB support for hardware devices. Please refer to [Zadig website](http://zadig.akeo.ie/) for details. Basically if you get things working for SDR# or HDSDR then it will work with SDRangel.
<h3>MinGW64 tool-chain</h3>
It is possible to use a MinGW64 tool-chain by following these steps:
- Install MSys2 from [this page](http://msys2.github.io/). Follow all the steps.
- Install Qt5 from MSys2 command line:
- `pacman -Sy mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5`
- Install gcc/g++ from MSys2 command line:
- `pacman -Sy mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`
- Create a new "kit" in Qt Creator:
- Go to "Projects" sub-menu from the left menu bar
- Click on "Manage kits"
- In "Compilers" tab add a compiler naming it "MinGW64" for example. In the compiler path specify the path to `g++` in your MSys2 installation (ex: `D:\msys64\mingw64\bin\g++.exe`)
- In "Qt versions" tab add a Qt version and specify the path to the `qmake.exe` in your MSys2 installation (ex: `D:\msys64\mingw64\bin\qmake.exe`)
- In "Kits" tab add a new kit and name it "MinGW64" for example.
- In "Compiler" select the "MinGW64" compiler you created previously
- In "Qt version" select the Qt version you created previously
- You should now be able to use this "kit" for your build
- In the "Build steps" section add `CONFIG+=MINGW64` in the "Additional arguments"
The final packaging in a similar way to the MinGW32 build does not seem to work. Presently it is only possible to run it from Qt Creator copying the .dll files close to the `sdrangel.exe` file in the build tree. Therefore this build is considered experimental and not provided in the releases.
