General Information

libnfc is a library which allows userspace application access to NFC devices.

The official web site is: http://www.nfc-tools.org/

The official forum site is: http://www.libnfc.org/community/

The official development site is: https://github.com/nfc-tools/libnfc

Important note: this file covers POSIX systems, for Windows please read README-Windows.md

Requirements

Some NFC drivers depend on third party software:

• pn53x_usb & acr122_usb:

  • libusb-0.1 http://libusb.sf.net

• acr122_pcsc:

  • pcsc-lite https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/

• pcsc:

  • Support build with pcsc driver, which can be using all compatible readers, Feitian R502 and bR500 already passed the test.

The regression test suite depends on the cutter framework: http://cutter.sf.net

Building

Note: If working directly from a git clone of the repository, some of the files need to be generated first. To do this run autoreconf -vis

Alternatively use a .tar.bz2 version of a packaged release (which already contains ./configure): https://github.com/nfc-tools/libnfc/releases/

The build should be as simple as running these commands:

./configure
make

To build with specific driver(s), see option --with-drivers=... detailed in ./configure --help.

Installation

make install

You may need to grant permissions to your user to drive your device. Under GNU/Linux systems, if you use udev, you could use the provided udev rules. e.g. under Debian, Ubuntu, etc.

sudo cp contrib/udev/93-pn53x.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/

Under FreeBSD, if you use devd, there is also a rules file: contrib/devd/pn53x.conf.
