PC/SC-lite (Personal Computer/Smart Card interface) This is middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC) Its purpose is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface in a very small form factor for communicating to smart cards and readers. It is released under BSD license. It is compiled with --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers This will be the destination directory for usb readers' drivers (ccid, cardman, others). NOTE: drivers are not included and must be compiled and installed separately. See /usr/doc/pcsc-lite-1.4.99/DRIVERS for more information on getting and installing specifc drivers. For serial and pcmcia readers only, it is necessary to edit files in /etc/reader.conf.d/ and run "/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf". Compiling with "DEBUGATR=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" enables ATR parsing debug output messages. To start PC/SC-lite daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start". For pcmcia readers, this daemon should be started after rc.pcmcia - this is most easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start fi
