Windows Source Code Packages
Windows Format Source Code and Build Environment (ZIP 3.1 MB)
Includes entire ACPICA source, Visual C++ project files, and ACPICA utilities.
Windows Format Test Suite (ZIP 3.8MB)
Test suite used to validate ACPICA. This includes ASL files and project makefiles.
The Windows versions of the user-space ACPICA utilities can be built from the Windows ACPICA source code package via the instructions below.
The Visual Studio 2017 project file is located here:
generate/msvc2017/AcpiComponents.sln
The Windows versions of GNU Flex/Bison must be installed, and they must be installed in a directory that contains no embedded spaces in the pathname. They cannot be installed in the default "c:\Program Files" directory. This is a bug in Bison. The default Windows project file for iASL assumes that these tools are installed at this location:
c:\GnuWin32
Once the tools are installed, ensure that this path is added to the default system $PATH environment variable:
c:\GnuWin32\bin
At this point, you will need to reboot Windows to make system aware of the updated $PATH.
iASL has been generated with these versions of Flex/Bison for Windows:
- Flex for Windows: V2.5.4a
- Bison for Windows: V2.4.1
Flex is available at: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/flex.htm
Bison is available at: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bison.htm
